Leoncino-like styling with a lot of round elements, peanut-shaped tank & slightly raked-out front

500cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin mill | 47.6PS and 46Nm on tap | Same as the Leoncino 500 too

50mm inverted fork with rebound adjustability | Monoshock with preload & rebound adjustability

17-inch alloys and disc brakes have likely been unchanged too

Only for the Chinese market for now | Should rake in good sales numbers given it’s based on a Chinese bike

Not coming to India & we’re not complaining | Better check out the Leoncino 500 instead

It’s a Benelli Leoncino 500 inside… and even outside!
