Benelli 752S

The Benelli 752S is a brawny, naked, middleweight motorcycle from Chinese-owned Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Benelli. The Benelli 752S was shown as a concept at 2017 EICMA Motorcycle Show, and overall the design seems to be quite similar to the concept. At 227 kg kerb weight, the 752S is no lightweight though, with the 14-litre fuel tank fully filled up. As the name suggests, it is a 750 cc middleweight.

The new Benelli 752 S will be powered by a 750 cc, DOHC, four-valve, parallel-twin engine that makes 75 bhp at 8500 rpm and 66 Nm at 6500 rpm, and is mated to a six-speed transmission. The Benelli 752 S gets a tubular steel trellis frame with 50 mm Marzocchi USD forks and a 45 mm monoshock at the rear which is adjustable for spring preload. Braking is handled by a Brembo system, with a four-piston calliper gripping 320 mm double semi-floating discs at the front, a single piston calliper gripping a single 250 mm diameter rear disc. We expect the pricing of the Benelli 752S to be around Rs. 7 lakh (ex-showroom). Internationally, the new 752S is expected to be launched in Europe sometime in 2019, we don't expect the Benelli 752S to make it to India before the end of 2019. In India, it will go up against the likes of the Ducati Monster 797.
