Here to kick-start the excitement that brews each year at EICMA in Milan, is Benelli, with three all-new and India-relevant motorcycles on display.
Benelli TRK 502
The TRK 502 is an adventure motorcycle. For those wondering, this bike has a completely new design, not derived from the larger TreK bike that Benelli revealed earlier this year at the India Bike Week (IBW) in Goa. It looks more like the larger Bavarian adventure motorcycles – a tad smaller in size, which is a good thing. As officials mentioned, the TRK 502 when in final production form, will make its way to India, an important market for Benelli.
The TRK 502 is powered by a 499.6cc, in-line two cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. Four valves per cylinder are in place too. It makes 46.9bhp of power at 8,500rpm and 4.6kgm of torque at 4,500rpm. The gearbox is a six-speed unit, while the chassis is tubular steel fabricated.
For suspension, the TRK 502 uses USD forks in the front and a pre-load adjustable rear monoshock. Braking is carried out by Brembo made twin petal type discs in the front, 320mm each and at rear a single disc that measures 260mm. The TRK 502 gets the safety feature of ABS brakes. The new Benelli gets knobby type, 19-inch tyres up front and a 17-inch rear tyre, from Metzeler. Ground clearance is a tall 230mm, good for an adventure motorcycle. The fuel-tank capacity is a tourer-friendly 20 litres.
