The Benelli 502C has a muscular fuel tank, a stepped-up seat, raised handlebars with arrowhead-shaped mirrors, a rear tire hugger-mounted number plate, and twin upswept exhausts. The bike houses a TFT instrument cluster with two display modes, an all-LED lighting setup, adjustable footrests, and rides on 17-inch alloy wheels. It has a fuel storage capacity of 21.5-liter and a ground clearance of 170mm.
The Benelli 502C draws power from a 500cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that generates a maximum power of 46.8hp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 46Nm at 6,000rpm. The mill is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Benelli 502C is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by inverted forks on the front side and a mono-shock unit on the rear end.
Pre-bookings for the Benelli 502C in India will start tomorrow and it should be launched by the end of July. The vehicle might carry a premium of around Rs. 20,000 over the Leoncino 500, which begins at Rs. 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom).
