Two-wheeler manufcaturer Benelli launched new Leoncino 500 BS 6 in India. The company has also started bookings on the model at a token amount of ₹10,000. Interested customers can get the model booked online at the company website and at the authorised Benelli dealerships.
The Leonicno has been on offer in the Indian market for quite some time now. It was taken down last year with the introduction of stringent BS 6 emission norms. The bike sits the familiar 500cc, twin-cylinder engine which now comes BS 6-compliant. The engine churns out 47.5PS of max power at 8,500 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6,000rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
As far as price is concerned, it comes with a price tag of ₹4.60 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, it is directly ₹20,000 more affordable than the previously sold BS 4-spec model. However, the company says that these prices are introductory, thus are likely to be hiked in the future. This is the third model in Benelli India's lineup after the Imperiale and TRK 502 BS 6. It gets two colour options - Steel Grey and Leoncino Red. While the former is the base option at ₹4,59,900 (ex-showroom), the latter costs slightly higher at ₹4,69,900 (ex-showroom)
