Commenting on the announcement, Mr Vikas Jhabakh, MD, Benelli India, said:

We are excited to launch our Ultimate Urban Cruiser in India today.

With the launch of 502C, we are venturing into an all-new segment of high-performance power cruisers and are looking forward to adding more customers to the Benelli family in the country.

The new Benelli 502C draws power from a twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It is the same 500cc motor that the company uses in the Leoncino 500 and TRK 502 range. It is capable of producing 47.5 PS of max power at 8500 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm. Being a cruiser, the 502C has a large 21L fuel tank.
