Keeway Benda LFS 700

The Benda LFS700 is an inline-four cylinder streetfighter with a very quirky design. The large quarter fairing at the front gives it a roadster vibe while the boxy panels at the back look flat tracker-esqe. It shares its powerplant with the LFC700, a super mean and Batmobile style cruiser.

However, while the LFC700 makes more power (93PS approx), the LFS700’s 680cc inline-four cylinder motor makes roughly just 76PS and 67Nm. That said, the LFS700 is lighter than its sibling tipping the scales at 226kg (dry). With its massive 18-litre fuel tank full, the motorcycle carries around a lot of heft. In terms of hardware Benda has given the LFS700 adjustable USD fork and monoshock along with premium Brembo brakes - two at the front and one at the rear.

In terms of creature comfort the LFS700 gets all the bells and whistles you’d expect from modern China-made motorcycles: LED headlights, crisp digital instrumentation, riding modes among others. It could be launched in the second half of 2023 and we expect Benda to price it around the Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom) mark.
