(TRK 502 X) I'm a beginner in off-road riding, but the bike is also not the best for off-road. IF you really want to take it off-road, you must change the tyres or when it gets just a little wet, everything gets very hard and if you have a climb on wet surface it's like hell.. The suspension is fine, but since the travel is not too long if you hit very big potholes with speed or when braking you might bottom out. I am 1,75 am and just because of the height I dropped it countless times. On the road it's awesome, on easy off-road sections it's awesome, on tactical off-road sections it might give you hell if you are not too much of an expert and you are not too tall.

Benelli has made a comeback into India with t
o new adventure-touring motorcycles, the TRK 502 and TRK 502X. The 502 and 502X share the same chassis and engine, but the X gets more off-road oriented kit in terms of longer travel suspension, a 19”-17” wire spoke wheel setup, dual sport tyres, additional ground clearance and a larger rear sprocket. We got a chance to sample the 502X on some love dirt trails around Chikamagalur and to ride the bike some 800km on the highway back to Pune.
