Benelli Leoncino 500 Summary
Benelli Leoncino 500 is a bike available in only 1 variant and 2 colours. The Benelli Leoncino 500 is powered by 500cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 46.8 bhp and a torque of 46 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Benelli Leoncino 500 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Leoncino 500 bike weighs 207 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 12.7 liters.
Benelli India has launched the BS6-compliant Leoncino 500 in the Indian market. The changes to the BS6 model are limited to mechanical upgrades to comply with the new, more stringent emission norms.
Thus, the styling cues include a round headlight, dual-tone front fender with Lion of Pesaro motif, a rounded fuel tank, single-piece seat with tuck and roll design, and a rear fender mounted number plate. The motorcycle uses a 12.7-litre fuel tank and it tips the weighing scale at 207kg (kerb). The feature list includes full-LED lighting and a twin-pod LCD instrument cluster.
The cycle parts, too, are similar to the BS4 model, and the Benelli Leoncino 500 BS6 continues to use 50mm inverted telescopic front forks and a rebound and preload-adjustable rear mono-shock to perform the suspension tasks. The braking duties are performed by dual 320mm discs at the front and a 260mm rotor at the back while the safety net is provided by a switchable, dual-channel ABS. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels.
The BS6 model continues to use a 500cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, the motor produces 46.8bhp of maximum power at 8,500rpm and 46Nm of peak torque at 6,000rpm. The power and torque output numbers are similar to the BS4 version.

Smooth Scrambler Power: My Benelli Leoncino 500 Experience
1 week ago
Nikhil
Riding the Benelli Leoncino 500 has been absolute fun. Its 500cc parallel-twin engine offers smooth power delivery across the rev range, making both daily commutes and highway touring effortless. The exhaust note is deep, satisfying, and easily one of the best in its segment.Solid road presence and well-balanced posture make it look high-end. Handling is stable at high speeds, and the suspension absorbs normal road imperfections well.

I have been using leoncino500 for the past 3 years and drove 10k +kms. Very good bike in the 6L range.. with 500cc non-Indian brand. Good design and a less fiber body. The bike body is strong and you feel heavy, but while riding you won't feel any weight. You can use it for off-road and on-road. I am using it for daily commuting also. High-speed 175kmph til date. Mileage: full tank it gives around 300km. But the servicing cost is high around 10k and design-wise the tank design you feel something is missing.. overall 500cc range except for RE and Leoncino there is no bike that comes under 6L. All above 8L.

Excellent bike to ride, Need some time to fit in me as I used to ride deo and passion. It was not scary as such but I was very cautious at the beginning but soon realized the bike is very friendly and forgiving in low to mid rpms. A head-turner. I have not yet fitted any custom exhaust, Still, It just brings a positive smile. Doesn't seem much but has a good torquey engine. I cruise at around 50kmph @3500-4000rpm in 5th gear, With no issues with the engine. People say that the ground clearance is an issue, the cost is a bit too pricey, the best bike in this segment,

Good to own it .. Can be used easily in traffic and the city. Off-road done 150 kms continuously. Noticeable bike. Easy to handle .. Torque is really good. Top speed 170 done to date. The issue is that after-sale custom accessories are not easily available in India.The mileage is good. 650 kms continuously rode at present. The sound of the bike is amazing.

Best in the segment. Good power. Great control. Amazing exhaust note. Comfortable for daily commute. Loving it. One of the best urban scrambler you can get within the segment. Do not compare with re 650. Build quality is impressive. Switchable dual channel abs. Adjustable suspension. The front look is very impressive.
