BS6 Benelli 502C India Launch

July 29, 2021 by Joshua Varghese Leave a Comment

The Benelli 502C India launch took place on Twitter and the motorcycle could be yours for Rs 4.98 lakh (ex-showroom).

Benelli 502C

The Benelli 502C India launch event highlighted the motorcycle’s strong suit: a middleweight cruiser that is at home in urban conditions as well. Visually, the 502C’s styling conveys its intentions clearly. The low-slung sport-cruiser stance is complemented by design elements that are highly appreciated in that category. These include a large LED headlamp, a distinct floating tail section and a muscular fuel tank. The 502C will intitially be available in two colours only: Matte Black and Matte Cognac Red.

Powering the Benelli 502C is the familiar 500-cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that does duty in the TRK and Leoncino models. The power unit is mated to a six-speed transmission and dishes out 47.5 hp at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 46 Nm at 6,000 rpm.

Suspension duties are handled by an upside-down telescopic fork at the front (136 mm travel) and a telescopic coil spring unit at the rear (50 mm travel). Benelli have scored big in the braking department by equipping the front end with dual 280-mm disc brakes while the rear is managed by a 240-mm single disc brake. It looks like Benelli India have been mindful about the Indian riding conditions because in addition to what appears to be a resonably comfortable perch, the motorcycle also features 170-mm ground clearance and a 750-mm saddle height.

Bookings for the Benelli 502C are now open on their website for a token amount of Rs 10,000. With the launch of the cruiser, Benelli India’s range has diversified further. Their line-up now includes adventure-tourers, retro-moderns and urban scramblers. We expect the manufacturer to launch the fully-faired 302R as well because it is currently being sold in the Chinese market. More news about that as it comes.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
