Overview

Introducing the 2020 Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail, a stunning addition to the enduro-offroad motorcycle market that beautifully marries rugged capability with Italian flair. With its eye-catching design and versatile performance, this bike appeals to both seasoned riders and those new to the adventure touring scene. Built to tackle both city streets and off-road trails, the Leoncino 800 Trail stands out with its robust tubular trellis frame and a striking presence that commands attention wherever it goes. This motorcycle is a testament to Benelli's commitment to quality and performance, making it a worthy contender in the competitive adventure segment. At the heart of the Leoncino 800 Trail lies a powerful 754cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 81.6 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and 67 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. This engine not only provides exhilarating acceleration but also boasts a smooth, linear power delivery that enhances the riding experience on all terrains. The six-speed gearbox enables quick gear changes, ensuring that riders can tackle steep inclines or winding roads with ease. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1, the engine is engineered for both efficiency and performance, while its liquid cooling system ensures optimal temperature management during long rides. Riders can expect a spirited performance whether they're navigating city traffic or exploring uncharted trails. The Leoncino 800 Trail is outfitted with advanced suspension and braking technology, making it a formidable machine for any adventure. The Marzocchi up-side down front forks and adjustable rear suspension provide 140 mm of travel, ensuring a plush ride over bumps and uneven surfaces. Coupled with Brembo brakes—double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear—this bike offers exceptional stopping power and reliability, essential for tackling off-road challenges. Furthermore, the bike’s ergonomic seat height of 818 mm offers a comfortable riding position for a wide range of riders, along with a generous ground clearance of 180 mm that allows for confident maneuverability over obstacles. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 754cc twin-cylinder engine delivers strong horsepower and torque, providing exhilarating rides on various terrains.
  • Advanced Braking and Suspension Systems: Equipped with Brembo brakes and high-quality Marzocchi suspension, the bike excels in handling and safety.
  • Versatile Design: Its rugged yet stylish design makes it suitable for both urban commuting and off-road adventures.

Cons

  • Weight Consideration: At 224 kg (493.8 pounds), some riders may find it slightly heavy, especially in off-road situations.
  • Fuel Capacity: With a 15-litre (3.96-gallon) tank, longer trips may require more frequent refueling compared to competitors.
  • Market Presence: While Benelli has a loyal following, its brand recognition may not be as strong as more established manufacturers in the adventure segment.
