Expert's Opinion on Leoncino 500

Overview
The Lion Cub Returns?
The Lion Cub Returns?
  • The Benelli Leoncino or Lion Cub, was the brand’s first bike post-WW2, and carries a great legacy. The Leoncino 500 is now the brand’s attempt at keeping that legacy alive in a modern avatar. But how well is the Leoncino able to live up to the name? Here’s what we think
Truly Special
Truly Special
  • The Leoncino gets a neo-retro design which has been executed very well
  • The special Lion of Pesaro ornament placed on the front fender looks quite premium
  • The large 50mm inverted fork at the front gives the bike quite an imposing look
  • The fit and finish levels are really good
An Unusual Engine?
An Unusual Engine?
  • The engine is quite refined and has a linear acceleration, which is not very intimidating
  • The bike is able to handle highway cruising quite well, sitting at 100kmph at 5,000rpm and 120kmph at 6,000rpm
  • The exhaust note is quite good, especially at the higher revs
  • Compared to the TRK 502 and its rivals, the engine feels a bit underwhelming and doesn’t rev as freely
Enough Leverage
Enough Leverage
  • The Leoncino handles quite well in the twisties. It is able to change direction quickly thanks to the wide handlebars which give good leverage
  • The Pirelli Angel ST tyres give adequate grip while cornering
  • The braking performance is good thanks to the large 320mm front and 260mm rear disc brake setup
  • The ABS is a bit too intrusive at slower speeds
Incredibly Stable
Incredibly Stable
  • The suspension tuning is well done
  • The bike is able to absorb mid-corner bumps with ease
Quite Inviting Actually
Quite Inviting Actually
  • Short riders won’t find the bike too difficult to ride thanks to the 785mm seat height
  • The wide seat can easily accommodate larger riders as well
  • The bike offers a relaxed and upright riding posture, which also feels quite commanding thanks to the wide handlebars
A Bit Too Simple
A Bit Too Simple
  • The LCD instrument console looks quite basic, but offers all the essential readouts
Should You Buy The Benelli Leoncino 500?
Should You Buy The Benelli Leoncino 500?
  • The Benelli Leoncino 500 is quite a good motorcycle and one which we really enjoyed reviewing. The bike is not something which can be put into a box and is better experienced and understood. If you are someone looking for a naked bike with a bit of retro design elements, amazing handling and decent performance, then the Leoncino is a bike worth considering.

Adventure with Refined Performance

The Benelli Leoncino 500 offers a strong and tasteful ride while adroitly combining traditional fineness with an audacious personality. It's applicable for both off- road adventure and megacity transportation thanks to its important 500cc Mechanism, which guarantees a fostering and smooth interpretation. The motorbike has a feeling of Classic fetish and coincidental rigidity thanks to its retromodern two wheeler and affable running. Although its dualchannel ABS increases security, further wind keeping for whirlwind ride might make it indeed more comfortable. A demesne of everlasting adventure, the Benelli Leoncino 500 honors dynamic prowess and Italian artificer.
