Overview

Introducing the 2017 Benelli TRK 502, a striking contender in the ever-growing enduro-offroad motorcycle segment. With its rugged styling and robust build, the TRK 502 is designed for adventure seekers who crave both on-road versatility and off-road capability. Positioned as an affordable yet feature-rich option, this adventure touring motorcycle appeals not only to seasoned riders but also to newcomers looking to explore the world beyond the pavement. With its striking silver finish and durable construction, the TRK 502 is ready to tackle everything from winding mountain roads to uncharted trails. At the heart of the TRK 502 is a powerful 499.6 ccm twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 47.6 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and 45 Nm of torque at 4,500 RPM. This configuration ensures a responsive throttle and smooth acceleration, making it ideal for both spirited rides on the highway and technical maneuvers off-road. The liquid-cooled engine boasts a compression ratio of 11.5:1, ensuring efficiency and reliability. Its 6-speed gearbox paired with a wet clutch delivers seamless shifting, while the chain final drive provides a direct connection to the rear wheel, enhancing the bike’s agility. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2267 HP/kg, the TRK 502 offers a balanced ride that is both exhilarating and manageable. Beyond its impressive engine, the TRK 502 is equipped with features that enhance the overall riding experience. The suspension system includes an upside-down fork at the front and a swing arm with a monoshock at the rear, ensuring a stable and comfortable ride, whether you're cruising the highways or tackling rough terrain. Stopping power is provided by a double disc setup in the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring reliable braking in various conditions. With a generous fuel capacity of 20 liters, the TRK 502 is built for long-distance journeys, allowing riders to explore without constantly worrying about refueling. The adjustable seat height of 815 mm also adds a layer of customization for riders of different statures, making it accessible for a broader audience. **

Pros
