It has been tuned to produce 47.5 PS of max power at 8500 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm. The 8-valve motor is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Benelli India is offering a 3-year and unlimited kms warranty with the Leoncino 500.

In terms of features, the Benelli Leoncino 500 comes with a fully digital instrument cluster that has a unique shape. The motorcycle also has a unique-looking LED headlamp. The tail lamp and indicators are also LEDs. The dual-port 2x1 exhaust system not only sounds great but also looks pretty sporty. We also have the iconic Lion emblem located on the front fender. For the equipment, the Leoncino 500 has USD forks at the front and monoshock at the back that handles the suspension duties. The stopping power comes from dual 320mm front rotors and a single 260mm rear rotor aided by a dual-channel ABS.
