Benelli Leoncino 500 - India Full Review, Exhaust Sound, Performance, Features, Price | ZigWheels

Benelli Leoncino 500 price in India is Rs 4.79 lakh (ex-showroom India)
Leoncino 500 top speed is over 180kmph
Benelli Leoncino 500 exhaust sounds bassier than the TRK 502
Benelli Leoncino 500 is offered in two variants - standard and Trail
The Benelli Leoncino 500 is the company’s latest motorcycle to be launched in India. It features a 500cc inline-twin engine from the TRK 502 which makes 47.5PS and 46 Nm of torque. Benelli only offers the standard version of the Leoncino in India, which gets 17-inch alloy wheels and road-spec Pirelli Angel GT tyres. It employs a tubular frame coupled with a fat 50mm USD front fork and a monoshock which features rebound and preload adjustability. Braking duties on the Leoncino are handled by two 320mm discs with radially-mounted calipers up-front and a 260mm disc at the rear. Dual-channel ABS comes as standard.
The Benelli Leoncino offers the best of both worlds - neo-retro styling paired with modern-day mechanical components. It features LED lights and a full-digital instrument console which is a sweeping change from the dated analogue-digital instrument console on its current crop of bikes. The bike is relatively compact and offers an easy-to-access seat height of just 785mm. The Leoncino is also among the lighter Benellis on offer in India, with a dry weight of 186kg, which aids the nimble handling characteristics of the motorcycle.

[@rakeshck]

Benelli Leoncino or Kawasaki Z650, which one would you recommend?

[@GrimYak]

Leoncino owner here since March of last year. Bike is good in terms of power but some issues are there 1) Engine cuts off sometimes when downshifting coming from high RPM or going down hill 2) switches fail sometimes, may be due to moisture going in and rusting the contacts, pressing the buttons again will resolve. WD40 may prevent this in the future. 3) had an instance where the digital display cluster broke, its like when a calculator screen breaks and only portions of the numbers are showing? ganun. good thing is bumalik din, my theory is again moisture kasi i have been riding this thing in the rain of washing it 4) Rust, rust, rust. The frame is mostly steel not an alloy to save cost. and you will notice rust forming in some expose areas soon. There is an area where the rear brake line rubbed against the swingarm and exposing metal and it rusted. Had to sand the part and repaint it to prevent it from rusting further. the rear view mirrors are also rusted and paint starting from the thread are already bubbling up due to rust 5) aluminum corrosion, not sure what type of aluminum they are using but it is certainly low grade. Foot pegs both the rider and the passenger are already showing signs of corrosion same with the brake master cylinder and some aluminum parts. I am concerned about engine parts as it is too aluminum. 6) Chain, the chain rusts very quickly, I am very particular in my maintenance but still could not prevent it. Maybe i just need to replace it with a better one 6) Brake discs rust very quickly too, some of it went to the fork stanchions which i had to clean quickly so the stanchions dont rust. All in all, if i had to go back in time I would not buy this bike. Good looking for sure and engine is very capable, sadly the parts around it are not up to par with other makers. You will be best served by buying something like the XSR 700 for not a whole lot more money.
