Benelli Leoncino Trail 500: Awesome and affordable Scrambler
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This time I took a look at the new model from Benelli. Stylish scrambler called Benelli Leoncino Trail 500. This is a quick test, but I am thinking to take it for a longer review and add some videos riding this off-road. Let me know if you are interested.

Great! You're welcome. Now the Benelli TRK 502 X review is in process. This will include some off-road.
Thats how to do a review clear and concise unlike most of the other drawn out loose the will to live! reviews. Well done “At Last”
Great review, can't wait for an off road part. Thanks.
Really good review and most of all a lot driving skills 👍🏻 the cool Scott jacket you are wearing. Does it have a name?
I love the look of this bike, great review.

For sale in Australia yet. Good round tow, weekend bike. Good quality at a reasonable price - value for money.
Great review, great ride!
If you are commuting every day on low quality greek roads you are going to admire the 19 inch front even on road.
I love the way that bike sounds. If only they would sell them in the US!
Nice review mate. Interesting bike. Respect from Scotland.

Good review. Switching between 2 cameras are a nice touch. Would you recommend an after market seat for more comfort or a cowel or small screen for highway use.....🤔 my first impression sitting on bike. That seat is hard!
Really nice video. Greetings from Hungary ✌️😁
Did you have the chance to try the upcoming Royal Enfield 650 "Interceptor" twin? I am curious because of the announced Himalayan 650.
thanks for the review JF. despite your height that would make you to obvioulsy prefer the Trail version, what version of Leoncino do you suggest in terms of fun, stability, etc...especially for who is 175cm tall? I think the 19inch front wheel could change the behaviour from the standard leoncino version. thanks in advance for any feedback
Hi, good reviews. Just a question, is the wire spoke rims for the trail version tubeless or still with tube?
Hi there, good review. Just a question, is the wire spoke rims on the trail version tubeless or still needs the tube. Thanks
Nice bike! Well made film. :-)
Hi there, so good review. I am between the Honda 500f and this one. When I saw this one trial version, I think that it will be my motorcycle for every days, and now more capable to go off road. Can yo tell how will it goes or road? For example, the radiator looks to exposed. Thanks for your information m thanks
do you think is it okay for a rider height 177 cm? and do you have any long term reliability opinion about this bike? Thanks, great review btw.
Nice work
Thank you very much. excellent review, keep on being subjective, always say your opinion. its the only way to find the truth about motorcycles... ride safe.

Hi, Can you please tell me how this bike compares to the Fantic caballero 500cc, I think they will be around the same price so would be interesting to see the differences?
It has a 360 crank unless my ears are playing up. The Honda 500x has a 180. BMW inlines usually 360 as are old British bikes. Thats why they sound cool...
Fantic Rally is the more beautiful competition...even more unheard of...

Yeah,but 3000€ more,here in Greece
Damnit......missed out on this review. Would've considered this before getting my Kawasaki Z900rs early this year. No regret but at that price it's really really worth considering.
How about speedo accuracy, did you test it with gps?
Nice review.. according to some reviewers this bike pulls like it's bigger than 500cc.. do u agree?
You ride good 🤟
If you had to choose this bike or SV650 for weekend riding and a bit of fun?
i like this bike very much,i like it more than the new 800.i ride 25 years,all kinds of bikes.i dont want something very powerfull now,but i m afraid if the horsepower is too little for me,otherwise i love it
Is the leoncino handlebar is wider than the trk502x?
I own one and I love it.

Are you sure it weights 200 kgs? in my country it says it weight 170 kgs dry, so the kerb weight must be around 185 or so.
Great review...makes me want one. Except they don't sell them here, yet. Also, looks pretty dry there, is there a drought?

Hi Frederick. Yes somehow they got to the Czech Republic pretty early. Also we got the Benelli TRK502X already and I am working on the review too. This time of the year it is really dry here. Some days around 35 degrees celsius, it is very difficult to keep focus while recording reviews haha. Where are you from?

How much does it weigh? Does it feel heavy compared to other 500ccs?
I just realized the new Benelli Models TRK und Leoncino some days ago. Very nice design including a good price. And the Trail Version is perfect for taller guys. Just one question...resale will not be easy, at least in North of Europe.

Wonder if you would get bored of a bike with that power over the long term? Is that area near Kutna Hora?
It's a trail or semi trail bike and the reviewer didn't take it off-road?? I'm interested in buying one would love to see how it compares to the Himalaya, anyone has one, I'm a bit nervous about the Chinese build.
When I sit on the bike, my feet feels awkward because the foot pegs are a bit further upfront which isn't very sporty. That is my only complaint.
I wonder if it's something you could daily ride?
people said "the screw will come out after hundred miles" do you see it !
I am seriously on the brink of ordering one
I really want to see your riding position, especially your knee & legs position since I'm also 193cm & 97Kg... do you have any photo on some website? or maybe blogs or something?
Hey, baba, can compare the Leoncino and Ducati srambler ? Just by feelings,... not technicaly....
Hi! I'm 1.90. Would this bike seat me well or not? Excellent Review !!
@JFMotorcycles
6 жыл бұрын
I did not have really a problem with mine 1.93 cm. In the class of Scramblers it is really above the average for taller people. Only Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is coming to my mind, which is higher and way better in offroad. But twice more expensive.
Can you actually go off road with this bike? Is this meant for that?
How's the reliability of it?
Would you really use it on trails?
Totally reliable. Said NOBODY, EVER, when talking about a Benelli... hahhahhahaaa
Sounds nice, any comparison to the Himalayan?
@JFMotorcycles
6 жыл бұрын
Hello. I would rather Himalayan compare to Benelli TRK502X. Himalayan is significantly slower (you would feel like twice slower), way lighter and more agile in offroad. It is also cheaper and use less complicated technology of air-cooled SOHC engine. 502X is besides all also better for traveling with a pillion. On 502X you can easily travel 100 - 130 km/h, on Himalayan it will be rather 60 - 100 km/h most of time.

yeah the Himalayan couldn't pull you out of bed in the morning 24bhp in fact 20something bhp I think is poor for a 400cc "supposedly modern bike"! at least power wise this is up there at the A2 limit! might be a little dearer to buy, but I bet it'll hold value better than the REH. I'd even guess that the second hand Himalayan will be worth £100s/e100s/$100s rather than in the 1000s in 3 or 4 years, possibly unlike the Benelli Leoncino scramler! ride safe
Would users recommend this bike ?
here's the problem; it's called cb500f... the cb costs the same as this (actually costs 200€ less here, according to the manufacturers websites) and it's lighter, and more powerful (just 0.4hp lol), and it's a "honda vs a chinese bike" ... it is very hard to recommend this one over the CB...i guess the deciding factor would have to be the looks
Nice motorcycle. 👍🏽
Hi how does it compare to a Honda CB500X? Better bike; more fun to ride? Benelli are reliable bikes or not ?

Not a bad green laner but they definitely need to change the front mud guard design for off road. it does nothing and you'll fill the front with mud and crap then cook the engine
Anyone experienced driving on Leoncido Trail and Svartpilen 401?

These are not axially mounted calipers.
It’s made in China looks great and sounds great but I will be amazed if it stands the test of time China always makes things cheaper
great aside from the crap "music" which ruined it
Its not a trail lol its a scrambler, but very nice video
Easily gets rust on most exterior parts
