Benelli 502C - The Charming Italian Cruiser | Lives Up To The Urban Cruiser Tag? | ZigWheels.com
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Benelli launched its first new bike in a long time earlier this year. Called the 502C, the bike seems to have taken inspiration from the Ducati Diavel while retaining its originality. The sleek LED headlight unit will surely grab eyeballs. It’s powered by a BS6-compliant 500cc parallel-twin mill that makes 47.5PS at 8500rpm and 46Nm at 6000rpm.
Apart from all-LED illumination, the Benelli 502C also features a fully digital instrument cluster. The motor is housed inside a trellis frame suspended on a 41mm USD fork and a rear monoshock. The braking hardware on the Benelli cruiser comprises dual 280mm front discs held by radial callipers and a 240mm rear disc. Dual-channel ABS is standard.
Jehan brings you the downlow on Benelli’s urban cruiser.

The vibrations in benelli twin series is a characteristic flaw for 360 degree crank! In the benefit you get an amazing exhast note and excellent torq throughout rev range!
Ayo zigwheels cinematography in this review is topnotch 😍 the bike is okay but the review quality is amazing ❤️ kudos to camera guys

Very good review of Benelli Powerful Cruiser! Thank you for the tips!
Thank you for pointing out the out of proportion headlight. Great video 🔥🔥
Best review yet on 502c as you didn't waste time showing each part of the motorcycle but actually focused on the riding posture & showed the shots how actually it looks while riding. This is imp. as we dont have anything like this on our roads yet. This is a great bike for crusier enthusiasts as there are only 2 options, avenger & meteor as of now which we can call cruisers. This will be a good option as bigger cruiser & will give tough fight to the finally upcoming real #RE650Crusier. Hope to see #Rebel500 joining too & heat up the market.
Absolute work of art intro brush.
Great video team ZW. Can you guys also review other bs6 benelli as well, namely the 502 and Leoncino. 👍🏻
Beautiful cruiser ❤
That overall engine is a charm with that wide range torque and higher tuning capability. It just needs a light weight naked streetfighter till 175kgs kerb weight or so. Neither Leoncino nor TRK or this 502c does justice for that gem of engine. Benelli, bring in a light weight 500 cc streetfighter. Or lend that engine to KTM or TVS, they know wat to do with that.
If I had given two options to choose between single cylinder liquid cooled dohc or twin cylinder air cooled sohc, I would have rather prefered latter one. Twins are just better bcoz of broad torque curved, lesser vibes and consequent power strokes which does improved throttle response significantly
Hello sir, I Just had my Bike serviced nd also changed oil nd oil filter...But During changing the filter I wasn't there, so I'm worried that do they put it there or not...so I just wanna know if there isn't an oil filter in bike how it acts?...does it show any change in sound or anything and if not then how can I get to know that filter is there or not without pouring out engine oil?
Hi, great vid mate, very clear and informative. I have litterly just brought on of these today, in the exact same colour as the one shown here. I go and pick it up on Saturday this week. You have earned a sub.

Benelli is Chinese-owned, just because it is mass-produced in China is like saying that KTM is Indian, or that every Honda up to the 650 is Thai. Benelli is a brand that designs and produces its Motorcycle elements in Italy and mass produces it in China same as Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki except for all their liter-class motorcycles. Even Kawasaki is produced in Thailand, Sony Headphones are built in Thailand(For that matter). Benelli Leoncino and 502C are fantastic motorcycles. News is also coming that Triump is also thinking of production in Thailand.

@@mshinu1 It's bad. He lives in Bangalore so he can't change his exhaust which would remove the cat con and increase ground clearance. I think he installed fork risers which has stiffened the suspension and so helps with the ground clearance. However it's best he himself tells you exactly what he did.
The biggest concern is the after sales service , benelli in India has stopped manufacture and resale of many bikes which were sold earlier , similarly with UM renegade etc , If I have to spend 5 L + for this definitely will not opt for this bike.

i have no intersted on benili bikes 😂😂
let me correct you its Chinese motorcycle
Italian twin-cylinder cruiser my ass Its china maal
Kawasaki Vulcan S is Lightyears ahead of 502C.. This is a poor man's xDiavel. Period.
Sometimes it feels like you guys don’t know what you’re talking about and you don’t know your bike oooo where are the those chunky big tires why do you even need a big chunky tyres
coming from a company that designed the TNT serires among the others, 502C does look quite weird, more like half hearted attempt at the styling, it just doesnt have the italian flair or quirks. That said, I think it could do decent numbers for being the Diavel Lite. As much as I loved the 600i, 899 and 1130 series , I shall take a hard pass at this Benelli. I would rather wait for the RE 650 cruiser.
Chinese not Italian. script.replace(“Italian”, “Chinese”);

Dear people, don't fall for the thumbnail of this video. This bike isn't Italian, it is completely owned by Chinese automobile company known as 'Geely'. Benelli is indeed an Italian brand but it has been acquired by Geely motors. So whenever a person purchases a Benelli, his money goes to Chinese. Now it's upto you to decide whether to give your money to a country who bullies us night and day at the border.

Hi there hope you guys dont mind but i have had my 502c for a year and half now and ive done one or two videos with it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKiLm8SIYLPTXbQ.html "The Benelli Rider" Quick Background been biking since i was a kid so well over 40 years now and as for bikes well you name it ive had it. Now to the Benelli its been a bit of a light bulb moment for me due to an operation meaning sports bike are just to painful to ride now. So i looked for a cruiser that was a bike not part of a three piece suite LOL ive had two or three before but they were well boring is the nicest way i can put it bland looking poor handling bad vibe ride Etc. However the 502c is none of that and the price point for the quality is outstanding i looked i watched hours and hours of reviews on here and couldn't believe not one slagged it off not even MCN. So i found one and went for a test ride i was a bit sceptical as all my bikes about 30+ of them over the last 20years have been 1,000cc and above. And well i was blown away took about ten mins to get used to the forward controls but it ran like a swiss watch pulled very impressively for its CC but the thing that really got me was it handled like a well sports bike mite be a bit of a stretch but god i can keep up with 90% of big bike bike with it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoprj9WAiqSYmps.html its been a hoot to own and it stands up to 90%+ of any JAP or European bike ive ever owned. Cheers Dave...
