Overview

Introducing the 2011 Benelli BX 505 Enduro, a motorcycle that seamlessly blends rugged functionality with Italian design flair. This enduro-offroad bike stands out in a competitive market, catering to riders who seek adventure on varied terrains. With its robust build and lightweight design, the BX 505 is crafted for both seasoned off-roaders and those looking to explore the thrill of dirt trails without sacrificing comfort and control. Its striking green color option adds a touch of personality, ensuring you won’t go unnoticed as you take on the wilderness. At the heart of the BX 505 is a powerful 505cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive 59.67 HP at 8,500 RPM and 50 Nm of torque at 5,750 RPM. This combination allows for exhilarating acceleration and reliable performance, whether you're tackling steep inclines or navigating through tight, technical sections. The 6-speed gearbox provides smooth shifts, making it easy to find the ideal gear for any situation. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and a digital ignition system, the BX 505 ensures responsive throttle response, while its electronic fuel injection optimizes fuel delivery for maximum efficiency. This bike isn't just about power; it’s about the thrill of the ride, featuring a lightweight chassis that helps enhance maneuverability and make it feel agile on the roughest terrain. The BX 505 boasts an impressive array of features that elevate the riding experience. Its aluminum frame, enhanced with carbon elements, strikes a balance between durability and weight savings. The fully adjustable 50 mm front suspension and Sachs rear shock absorber allow riders to fine-tune settings for an optimal experience, whether you're conquering rocky trails or cruising at speed. Braking is handled by single discs at both the front and rear, providing reliable stopping power with a 260 mm front brake and a 220 mm rear brake diameter. Additional practical features include both electric and kick starters, ensuring you're ready to hit the road (or off-road) at a moment's notice. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 505cc single-cylinder engine delivers impressive power and torque, perfect for tackling challenging terrains.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing just 110 kg, the BX 505 offers nimble handling and easy maneuverability.
  • Adjustable Suspension: Fully adjustable suspension front and rear allows for customization based on rider preference and terrain.

Cons

  • Narrow Seat Height: With a seat height of 960 mm, it might be a challenge for shorter riders to manage.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: The 9-liter fuel tank may require more frequent stops on longer rides.
  • Single Disc Brakes: While effective, the single disc setup may not provide the same stopping power as dual disc systems found on other models in its class.
