This enduro bike boasts a unique blend of performance and style, making it an enticing option for those who crave the excitement of off-road exploration alongside the sophistication that Benelli is known for. At the heart of the BX 505 Enduro lies a powerful 505cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 59.67 horsepower at 8500 RPM and a torque of 50 Nm at 5750 RPM. This potent combination allows riders to experience a thrilling acceleration, whether navigating through muddy trails or ascending steep hills.

The fully adjustable front suspension with a 50 mm diameter and a Sachs rear shock absorber allows riders to fine-tune their setup for various terrains. Coupled with reliable braking performance from its single-disc brakes—260 mm up front and 220 mm at the rear—the BX 505 ensures confidence and control when tackling challenging trails. The bike also features an electric and kick starter, so you’ll always be ready to hit the road or the trail. **
