Benelli 502C vs Benelli TRK 502 Comparison

The Benelli 502C is a power-cruiser whose styling certainly seems inspired by the Ducati Diavel. The Benelli 502C uses the same 500 cc parallel-twin, DOHC, 4-valve engine as the Leoncino 500 and the TRK 502 and it makes 46.8 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 46 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Although it promises a solid new-age cruiser with looks at a lower price point, the Benelli 502C however fails to impress, both in terms of performance as well as dynamics.

The performance, while not exhilarating, is very good and there is no doubting the touring ability of these motorcycles. Also, there is decent amount of kit and switchable ABS on offer as well. More than anything else, it is the road presence which will catch the eye of a potential buyer. Yes, it has its share of flaws (we would have liked more power OR less weight) but pricing is sweet and it has the potential to do well for Benelli in India.
