Benelli TRK 502 X Spotted Testing In India

 

  • The Benelli 502 X is the more off-road focussed variant of the TRK range
  • The camouflaged test mule was spotted testing in India for the first time
  • The motorcycle will be powered by a 499.6cc that makes 48PS and 45Nm
  • The bike is expected to be launched in India in mid-2019
  • Likely to be priced around Rs 5.5 lakh (ex-showroom)

Benelli is all set for its second offensive in India with the launch of new models like the Leoncino and TRK 502 range. While the Leoncino was spotted testing here last year, this is the first time we have seen a TRK 502 test mule being put through its paces. And it’s the off-road focussed 502X that was spotted testing, which kind of confirms that this variant will launch here. The TRK 502 variants are expected to launch in India in mid-2019 with expected pricing starting at Rs 5.5 lakh (ex-showroom).

While the TRK 502 and TRK 502X use the same frame, bodywork and powertrain, they get different wheels, tyres and exhaust. While the TRK 502 gets 17-inch alloy wheels with road-biased Pirelli Road Angels, the hardcore TRK 502X gets a front 19-inch and rear 17-inch spoked wheels with off-road Metzeler Tourance tyres. Seat height on the 502X is significantly higher at 850mm, as is the 220mm ground clearance. You also get a small bash plate on the 502X as well as a higher set upswept exhaust.

Both bikes get a 499.6cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin motor that churns out 47.6PS and comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Sadly, you do not get rider aids like traction control and riding modes. The trellis frame gets 50mm front upside down forks with 135mm of suspension travel and a rear monoshock with 45mm of suspension travel. Braking is via twin 320mm front discs and rear 260mm disc with a dual-channel ABS as standard.

We expect Benelli to launch both the TRK 502 and TRK 502X in India. Stay tuned for more details.

Like most of its portfolio, it is available in two variants. Here’s a detailed explanation of how different the features are in DLX and DLX Pro. Aesthetics: The Honda H’Ness CB350 DLX Pro variant gets a more premium, retro-looking dual-tone colour scheme on the fuel tank. This variant is available in three colours: Pearl Nightstar Black with Spear Silver Metallic, Athletic Blue Metallic with Virtuous White and Matte Steel Black Metallic with Matte Massive Grey Metallic.

BMW Motorrad Showcases Radical Electric Vision DC Roadster

The Vision DC Roadster takes the brands iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine design and gives it a rather interesting twist.  The design was inspired by the BMW R 32 developed by Max Friz in 1923. BMW has also designed a two-piece functional suit that looks like a casual jacket and black trousers. BMW Motorrad is no newcomer to electric vehicles. We’ve already seen the brands Vision Next 100 concept which gave a glimpse of the company’s future vision. Now though, BMW intends to change our outlook on electric two-wheelers which are more often than not perceived as boring. And they plan on doing so with the Vision DC Roadster, an all-electric bike that gives the word unconventional a whole new meaning. The design team started off by taking its iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine and giving it a rather interesting twist. The idea was to retain its protruding design but incorporate it in an electric motor. The challenge was its packaging. You see, in an IC engine, the size of the motor ...
