2018 Leoncino 502

Description

The name “Leoncino” (little lion) is the tribute to an Italian motorcycling legend who has made history in Benelli. The new design center of the Pesaro factory has endowed the motorcycle with identity and a strong personality in the modern world. The Leoncino is not only a new model, but an authentic and pure concept, typically Italian. At its heart is the new liquid-cooled double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 500cc four-stroke twin-cylinder, four valves per cylinder.

A driving pleasure that responds very well when accelerating, with 48 horse power (35 kw) at 8500 rpm and a torque of 45 Nm (4.6 kgm) at 4500 rpm, giving it a wide range of power throughout the entire rev range. The little lion, symbol of centuries-old history, stands on the front fender. The round headlight follows tradition and features cutting-edge LED technology. The accessible and simple seat perfectly follows the lines of the motorcycle, as well as the design of the fuel tank that allows the Leoncino balanced and modern proportions. The multitubular steel chassis integrates perfectly with the rest of the set, providing a clean design in the “Scrambler” style.
