Pros Cons Benelli 502C

Pros

  • The parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine does 0-60 kmph in under 3 sec, 100 kmph comes up in under 7 sec, before hitting 150 kmph.
  • City tractability is strong and its pulls cleanly in top gear from as low as 35 kmph without hiccups.
  • A massive 21-litre fuel tank translates into a theoretical range of about 600 km.
  • It has a loud and raspy exhaust note which is typical of Benelli bikes.
  • Its 1,600 mm wheelbase and grippy Pirelli tyres deliver great stability and cornering abilities.
  • A practical 170 mm of ground clearance prevents it from scraping over tall speed breakers.
  • The rider’s well-cushioned seat allows for reasonable comfort over long rides.

Cons

  • Its pillion seat is extremely cramped.
  • Firm front fork damping can make you feel like it skips over bumps.
  • The brake lever feels spongy under hard braking situations.
  • Information on the TFT instrument cluster is not properly visible under harsh sunlight.
  • Some vibrations are felt on the footpegs, tank, and handlebar at any speed.

Verdict

The Benelli 502C has an unmistakable Italian charm about it that’s hard to resist. What’s more, its tractable twin-cylinder engine, brilliant exhaust roar, composed high-speed stability, and practical highway range can make it a fun but distinct machine, especially for solo road trips.

Yes, its tiny pillion seat, firm ride over bumps, and average brake lever feel dampen the overall experience. Nevertheless, if you are looking for an attention-grabbing motorcycle that offers usable performance and a long range on our highways, the 502C certainly stands out.
