Benelli 502C Cruiser Motorcycle India Launch This Year

Benelli 502C cruiser motorcycle was one among many potential products at the 2018 Thai Motor Expo, showing a huge amount of potential for the Indian market at that time. A recent report confirms the launch of the 502C cruiser in India around festive season this year. In terms of the design, the styling is shared with the Benelli 402 cruiser that was first seen at the EICMA 2017.

The overall design lines are inspired from the Ducati xDiavel while power comes from a familiar 500cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine, producing 47.5HP @ 8500 rpm of maximum power and a maximum torque of 46Nm @ 6000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Benelli claims a top speed of 160kph for the cruiser.

The niche performance brand is planning to enter the middleweight cruiser segment through the twin-cylinder product. The front end of the Benelli 502C comes with an impressive LED headlight, looking flat from the side and matching with the gloss-finished black visible frame of the motorcycle. The USD forks are shared with other Benelli products while short yet sharp fender looks amazing on its profile.

The front comes with dual disc brakes with ABS while the rear shows a unique exhaust design on the 502C. The majority of bulk is situated around the fuel tank as the rear end comes with shorter-than-ever tail section and an independent tire hugger. The seat seems practical for a single rider only while the overall stance is worth-praising for sure. The Benelli 502C has a fuel tank capacity of 21 litres, and the kerb weight stands at 217kg.

Once launched in India, the Benelli 502C will compete in the market with the likes of Kawasaki Vulcan S and Harley-Davidson Street 750. The cruiser will be brought to the country via the CKD route while one can expect the brand to offer a price tag of under INR 5 lakh for the upcoming 500cc twin-cylinder motorcycle.
