Benelli India has commenced its journey in the adventure tourer segment today by launching the new TRK 502 at Rs 5 lakh and the 502X for a sticker price of Rs 5.40 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi). Both the motorcycles are the first new products from the Italian brand after it re-entered the Indian market with Hyderabad-based Mahavir Group. While the Benelli TRK 502 is a road-biased bike and gets 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends shod with 120/70 front and 160/60 rear tyres, the Benelli TRK 502X is more off-road centric and rides on 19-inch (110/80) and 17-inch (150/70) spoke wheels.
Powering the Benelli TRK 502 duo is the same 500cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin motor producing 47.5PS at 8500rpm and 46Nm of torque at 6000rpm. The motorcycles have been equipped with a massive 20-litre fuel tank. At 840mm, the saddle height of the X variant is on the taller side, whereas the road-biased model has a rather accessible 800mm seat height. The seat heights are non-adjustable for both the bikes. n terms of competition, the Benelli TRK 502 range does not have any direct rivals as it gets sandwiched between the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 (Rs 4.69 lakh) and the Kawasaki Versys 650 (Rs 6.69 lakh) (both prices, ex-showroom India).
