Benelli TRK 502 and TRK 502X- First ride I OVERDRIVE

[@vijayrajeev6737]

A gap between the Himalayan, and Versys(650) seems covered. The smaller versys looks dull tbh. The Benelli is having good aesthetics, pricing might be little high(maybe my thoughts alone). I will consider these once I start thinking about upgrading my bike. And also, service centres.... please bring more!

[@tonykehoe703]

Congrats on a very clear, detailed review containing all the kind of information needed by anyone considering a change of bike.i envy you the roads in the area! Thanks.

[@turningwheels2584]

I have the non x version, absolutely love it! It's only 800mm seat height, easy flat foot, I'm 180cm. my riding buddy has the vstrom 650 and it feels heavier and higher (his words not mine)... And actually it does randomly. He has never left me behind, i can easily keep up with him every time we ride out. Never have i ever thought i need more power!! So comfortable, much more comfortable than my kawasaki versys i had. I don't really think anyone knows the weight of these bikes to be honest, it's different all the time, the spec sheet says both weigh 235kg. That's impossible for them to be the same weight unless the x's extra exhaust, larger steel wheels, larger sprocket, center stand etc are all made from fairy dust and defeat the laws of gravity! Let's just say the non x doesn't feel much heavier than my royal enfield himalayan 👍

[@arunavbhattacharjee8902]

The only reason i'm stuck between the x and the non-x version is the underbelly exhaust. Have you faced any issue crossing knee deep(tentative) water crossing?

U want less weight u want adjustable screen u want more power u want more grip u want better bike etc .....go buy Ducati multistrada or gs1250 paying 28L .....this is great bike for the price ...learn to review bikes based on who much u r paying

Already benelli dose'nt have proper service for the existing 600i and the tnt300 250 etc... First let them provide proper service for the existing models., later they can launch their updated models...

If your going to ride an adventure bike that weight is 200kg+ you may as well have 800cc power.

[@koongfu00]

The power is ok on this bike

[@otablott7779]

Does the 800cc make it lighter?

[@mufaddalkhardiwala5005]

500cc parallel twin and just 47bhp , where KTM 390 with single 373cc engine has 43 bhp Don't you think it's too underpowered for a big engine bike

[@suthishofficial]

Performance will be a balance of torque and bhp. For example 500cc bullet only produce 27 bhp and 110 top speed.

[@mufaddalkhardiwala5005]

@@suthishofficial RE bullet is a different machine with a low price tag and it doesn't has any of the features of an adventure tourer.

[@suthishofficial]

@@mufaddalkhardiwala5005 exactly KTM 390 is a naked Street bike and trk 502 is an adventure tourer. So we can't compare them with cc and bhp. Higher cc doesn't always mean higher bhp. Most important for adventure tourer is suspension travel, riding comfort, fuel tank, accessories, quality. Trk excels in all that. The power is right for that price. Test drive in the showroom near you. You will love it.

[@normanhughedicko4076]

TRK is too heave for 500cc

[@thehobbyguy]

How do these sort of bikes not fall from underneath you on grass and rough terrain etc... As apposed to something like my kawasaki z750.. Is it to do with the weight transfer as in these atv bike are lighter on the front end or something??

[@mithunkartha]

Not sure..the showroom said tyres are spokes with tubes not tubeless..

[@kkhalifah1019]

These bikes DESPERATELY need the new 754cc parallel twin... or, if Benelli's really smart... their old 899cc triple.

[@syedumarfarooq10]

And they even said In-Line twin engine where as this Bike has Parallel Twin Engine 😂

[@rishabhbhaskar2963]

Benelli India stated that X's are tubeless, wire spoke wheels. Which was again confirmed at the media ride.

[@vaibhavhalgekar914]

@@rishabhbhaskar2963 I think we will need to ask Benelli to reconfirm... As the rim design doesn't show any technical designs of it being a tubeless type..the tire is definitely a tubeless one.. but this rim is a normal rim..please check articles on rims with spoke that are of the tubeless design.. the spokes in those rims never go to the centre and inside the rim..they always end where you can visually see them.... Please cross-check...cheers

[@rishabhbhaskar2963]

@@vaibhavhalgekar914 Yes. We noticed the wheel and enquired before the ride. But they clearly stated it's tubeless wire spokes. Nevertheless, we'll dig deeper and check again

can you use this as AFRICA TWIN and TENERE. Or is this in a differet class

[@LieSkinCuh]

not really, cause its a lot heavier for its power

[@amithardikar2401]

How about using X on tarmac??

[@syedumarfarooq10]

You guys say it’s Parallel Twin Engine yet Shows In-Line Engine in the Video caption

[@siddharthasabat4854]

No Overdrive, parallel yein and inline twin are not the same, kindly get ur facts right and don't misguide! In parallel twin both the pistons reach the same death centres at the same time while in inline twin, both the pistons will be at the opposite death centres at the start or end of a stroke. Both kind of configurations are differentiated from the angle of crankshaft. In a parallel twin where the the pistons move up and down simultaneously the crankshaft angle is 360 degrees, whereas the inline twin with alternately moving pistons the angle of crankshaft is 180 degrees. The main advantage of a 360° crankshaft (parallel twin) is ,single carburetor can be used for both the cylinders, there is no need of separate ignition system for different cylinders. However one major disadvantage is the heavy Vibrations. The inline twins with 180 degrees crankshaft tends to cancel the vibrations by moving pistons in opposite directions but due to irregular igniting timings the firing pulses create additional vibrations. There must be two different fueling system for both the cylinders and separate ignition system must be used.

[@syedumarfarooq10]

Parallel Twin and In-Line Twin are the same thing.? Lol . 2019 will going to be awesome for Overdrive 😂

Are they really tubeless spoke wheels in 502x? I don't think so.

[@NalinDubey]

Yes they aren't tubeless spoke wheels, info error in the video. The only bike which offers tubeless spoke wheels is the Suzuki V-STROM 650XT..

[@prajakt23]

You said 502x has spoke rim which is fitted with tubeless tyres? Are you sure?

[@prajakt23]

@@odmag Thanks for the quick response! Actually stuck between this and versys / vstorm. Just not sure about the power to weight ratio for trk. If it doesn't have enough engaging power delivery due to its weight, then perhaps other options might be a better choice?

[@prajakt23]

@@odmag Sorry for similar question again, but when I went to showroom today, they said that although the tyre is tubeless, the rim is normal and hence its fitted with a tube inside. So, if that's the case it's not something similar to Suzuki vstorm. Will you please clarify?

[@siddharthasabat4854]

The tyres have a tube inside in the 502x off-roader, which makes it non tubeless tyres, also confirmed by many reviewers except Overdrive, so need a clarification on the same!
