Benelli has announced the release of its Leoncino in a Trail edition, which features a scrambler aesthetic along with a host of off-road compatible components.

The Leoncino Trail is instantly recognisable by its simplified sporty posture, knobby tyres, spoked rims, and larger 19-inch front wheel.

Other features include the LED technology used in the front light, digital instrumentation and stamped Centrostile logo on the exhaust and engine that serve as a reminder of the quality components used in the new model.

On the road or on gravel, the Leoncino Trail benefits from the original Leoncino’s stable trellis chassis and adjustable suspension. Braking is achieved effortlessly with switchable ABS, backed by large double 320mm front disc brakes and a 260mm rear disc brake.

Rolling on the throttle, the twin-cylinder 500cc comes to life with a charismatic exhaust note, whilst getting all traction down on road comes easy with a pair Pirelli Scorpion tyres, managed by a smooth six-speed gearbox.

The Leoncino Trail is anticipated to be available at Benelli Dealerships in August 2018 in red, silver and black colour options, and will come standard with a two-year warranty and two-year customer care program for RRP $9590 rideaway. For more information www.benelli.com.au.
