BMW R nineT Scrambler vs Benelli Leoncino Comparison

The BMW R Nine T Scrambler is BMW's version of a neo-retro scrambler. It has a lovely retro charm and is offered in two variants - R NineT and R NineT Scrambler. The scrambler is the more affordable model. The R NineT uses the air-cooled, 1170 cc boxer twin engine. The engine makes 109 bhp and peak torque of 116 Nm. And while it is a classic model, it still gets all the required modern features. With prices upwards of Rs. 16 lakh, the motorcycle is an expensive proposition.

The Benelli Leoncino is the scrambler-styled neo-retro model from Benelli, and has no direct rival in the market. The Leoncino uses the same engine as the TRK 502. It pumps out 47 bhp and 46 Nm and offers a more affordable option to the likes of the Ducati Scrambler. In India though, models like the Royal Enfield 650 Twins and the KTM 390 Duke could rival it in the Indian market, in terms of performance and specifications, and at a substantially less price.
