Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising through winding roads, the Leoncino 800 is designed to deliver an exhilarating riding experience. At the heart of the Leoncino 800 is a powerful 754cc engine that produces an impressive 68 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM, ensuring a lively response whether you're accelerating from a standstill or overtaking on the highway.

The trestle steel frame is complemented by high-quality suspension components, including 50mm upside-down forks with adjustable settings for rebound, compression, and spring preload. Front and rear Brembo brakes with ABS ensure precise stopping power, while the adjustable rear shock absorber allows for customization based on rider preference and load. Moreover, with a seat height of just 805 mm, the bike is accessible for a wide range of riders, and its 15-liter fuel tank makes it ideal for longer outings without frequent stops. **
