The EICMA 2026 motorcycle show in Milan witnessed Benelli officially expanding its sport naked segment portfolio through the introduction of its latest model. The Italian manufacturer showcased an aggressive machine powered by a 698cc engine producing 73.4 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of 67 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The arrival of this new lineup immediately caught visitors' attention due to its combination of high-end mechanical specifications and a competitive package in the mid-size category.
As reported by Motosan.es, the parallel-twin engine integrated into this motorcycle adopts a powerplant base from their proven adventure family, though it receives specific adjustments to the intake and exhaust systems. Utilizing a double overhead camshaft configuration with a 180-degree crank and electronic throttle management from Bosch, power delivery feels remarkably linear. The six-speed manual transmission is paired with a slipper clutch and a bidirectional quickshifter system allowing riders to shift up or down without pulling the clutch lever.
Beyond engine performance, the suspension and braking sectors are fully entrusted to renowned specialist Italian brands. The front suspension utilizes fully adjustable upside-down forks from Marzocchi, combined with high-performance braking components by Brembo to ensure reliable deceleration across various track conditions. This combination of top-tier components is specifically engineered to provide optimal stability when tackling tight corners at high speeds.
In terms of daily comfort, this aggressive naked motorcycle offers modern features usually found only in high-end touring segments. Cruise control, heated grips, and a heated seat are all available as standard equipment. Aesthetics are equally highlighted through sharp bodywork lines featuring a 15,5-liter fuel tank and full LED lighting featuring a distinctive frontal signature.
For entry-level riders holding restricted licenses, the manufacturer also prepared a specific variant capped at 35 kW to comply with current regulations. This new model release is predicted to pose a serious threat to competitors in the European mid-size naked class this season. Read our in-depth analysis for more motorsport news.
