Lastly, Benelli 502C will also make a debut in India. It is based on the Leoncino, but classifies itself as an Urban cruiser. The exposed trellis frame, blacked out elements and brushed silver dual-exhaust confirm the appearance of an Urban motorcycle.
It will use the same 500cc twin-cylinder engine taken from Benelli Leoncino. Based on its styling, we expect it to offer a very relaxed and laid-back riding position. Just like the original cruisers.
