Here’s everything we know about the new Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail
This neo-retro scrambler debuted in the local market in the 2022 Makina Moto Show, and retails for P519,000.
During the recently concluded 2022 Makina Moto Show, Benelli officially launched the Leoncino 800 Trail in the local market. The neo-retro scrambler, which was recently launched alongside a number of other new Benelli models, boasts a lot of interesting features, the new 800cc engine being the most noteworthy. The new model, which as a result offers better performance and functionality, appears to be a serious competitor in the hugely popular retro-style scrambler category.
A side-exit dual exhaust system, a 19-inch front tire, and a side plate with flat-track styling are included with the Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail. The class-leading engine from Benelli powers the new motorcycle. The 754cc liquid-cooled four-stroke twin-cylinder engine produces 49 ft-lbs of torque and 76.2 horsepower at 8,500 rpm. It has a twin 43 mm-diameter throttle body, two overhead camshafts, and four valves per cylinder. It also includes a 6-speed transmission and a slipper clutch.
The Leoncino 800's characteristic steel trellis frame has been improved and strengthened to better accommodate its new engine and performance. Furthermore, suspension has been enhanced. It sports a hefty inverted fork with 148mm of travel and 50mm struts. The seat is 834 mm above the ground as a result of the rear monoshock's 140 mm of travel. The 120/70/19" front and 170/60/17" rear knobby dual-purpose tires of the Leoncino 800 Trail provide traction both on and off road. While the rear brakes have 260 mm discs and a single-piston caliper, the front brakes have twin 320 mm discs and radially mounted calipers.
When it comes to tech features, the Leoncino 800 Trail gets a full-color TFT screen and a full LED headlight, giving it a distinctive neo-retro look. In the local market, this middleweight scrambler fetches a rather attractive price tag of P519,000, undercutting its rivals from Triumph, Ducati, and BMW by a substantial margin.
