With a focus on delivering a comfortable riding experience on varied terrains, this enduro-offroad motorcycle invites you to explore the great outdoors while ensuring you turn heads on city streets. At the heart of the TRK 502 lies a spirited 499.60 cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces an impressive 47.60 horsepower at 8500 RPM.

Its 20-liter fuel tank means you can venture farther without frequent refueling stops, making it ideal for long-distance touring. The front suspension features an upside-down fork, providing excellent handling and stability, while the rear swing arm with monoshock delivers a plush ride over uneven surfaces. Stopping power is delivered via a double disc setup in the front (320 mm) and a single disc in the rear (260 mm), offering confidence in braking performance. The electric starter adds convenience, and its striking silver color option ensures you’ll ride in style. **
