Overview

Introducing the 2018 Benelli Leoncino Trail, a motorcycle that perfectly encapsulates the enduro-offroad spirit while providing an excellent blend of style, performance, and practicality. Positioned in the competitive mid-range segment, the Leoncino Trail stands out with its distinctive scrambler-inspired design, advanced technology, and a rugged build that invites riders to explore both urban landscapes and untamed terrains. With its striking silver finish and attention-grabbing lines, this bike is as much a statement piece as it is a performance machine, appealing to both seasoned riders and newcomers seeking adventure. At the heart of the Leoncino Trail lies a robust 499.60 cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a spirited 47.60 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and a torque of 46.00 Nm at 6,000 RPM. This combination ensures a thrilling riding experience whether you're navigating winding roads or tackling off-road trails. The 6-speed gearbox allows for smooth gear transitions, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal engine performance even under demanding conditions. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and a precise fuel injection system, the Leoncino Trail promises not only responsiveness but also impressive fuel efficiency, allowing riders to spend more time on the road and less time at the pump. The Benelli Leoncino Trail is equipped with features that enhance both the riding experience and overall safety. Its sturdy steel tube frame is complemented by a 50mm upside-down front fork and a rear swingarm with adjustable preload, offering a commendable travel of 135 mm upfront and 138 mm at the rear. The dual-disc ABS-equipped front brakes provide excellent stopping power, while the single rear disc ensures a balanced braking performance. With a seat height of 825 mm and a ground clearance of 185 mm, this bike is tailored for comfort and control, making it suitable for a wide range of riders. The electric starter adds convenience, while the 12.70-litre fuel tank ensures you can venture far and wide without the constant worry of refueling. **

Pros

  • Versatile Performance: The powerful engine and advanced suspension setup make it suitable for both on-road and off-road adventures.
  • Stylish Design: The Leoncino Trail's distinctive aesthetic appeals to riders looking for a bike that stands out in a crowd.
  • Comfort and Control: With an adjustable rear suspension and a manageable seat height, riders can enjoy a comfortable ride over various terrains.

Cons

  • Fuel Capacity: With a 12.70-litre tank, long-distance riders might need to plan their refueling stops carefully.
  • Limited Power for Advanced Riders: While the 47.60 HP is adequate for most, experienced riders might seek more power for aggressive off-road riding.
