Benelli
has launched the Adventure Tourer TRK 502 and TRK 502X at Rs 5 lakh and Rs 5.40
lakh respectively. The premium
motorcycles were launched by Benelli and Adishwar Auto Ride India – Mahavir
Group.
The
adventure-oriented range of motorcycles from Benelli boasts of comfortable
ergonomics, amazing wind and weather protection, superior suspension and efficient
and powerful twin-cylinder engine. While the TRK 502 is the perfect travelling
companion for long leisure rides, the TRK 502X is designed to meet the needs of
the most demanding riders who wish to travel without boundaries.
The
TRK range gets a 20-litre fuel tank that allows riders to enjoy long hauls
without much stopping for fuel fill-ups. Vikas Jhabakh, Managing Director,
Benelli India said, “We are delighted to launch the TRK range as the first
adventure offering from Benelli in India. The launch of the TRK range is just
the beginning and we are committed to bringing many more exiting Benelli
products through 2019.”
Online

india.benelli.com to book their ride by paying only Rs 10,000. As a limited
period offer, customers can avail an INR 10,000 worth Benelli voucher, which
can be used to purchase accessories and apparels from the showroom at the time
of delivery.
Wrapped
in a traditional Benelli steel trellis frame, the TRK 502 range is powered by
an all new twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 500cc, DOHC engine with
4-valves per cylinder. The fuel-injected motor produces 47.5PS @ 8500rpm, with
peak torque of 46Nm available at 6000rpm. The slick shifting six-speed gearbox
is offered along with a gear shift indicator, which enables you to get into the
right gear for right situation.
The
trellis frame is made of steel tubes and plates, to guarantee agility under all
circumstances. Up front, both models come with 50mm upside down forks, while
the rear gets a vertically mounted mono-shock. While the front suspension is
not adjustable, the rear mono-shock on both variants comes with rebound and
pre-load adjustment.
Being
a tourer, the TRK 502 gets 17-inch alloy wheels that come wrapped with 120/70
section Pirelli tyres at the front and 160/60 section Pirelli tyres at the
rear.
The
adventure ready TRK 502X gets Metzeler tyres measuring 110/80– 19inch front and
150/70 – 17inch at the rear, which are wrapped onto spoked rims, offering more
flex to tackle rough situations. Both, the TRK 502 and TRK 502X use twin 320mm
floating discs with a 2-piston calliper at the front and a single 260mm disc
with one piston calliper at the rear with switchable ABS. The TRK 502 range is
available in 3 colour options –Red, White and Graphite Grey.
