- Five more Benelli bikes coming to India this year
- Leoncino will be the next launch
Benelli will launch five more bikes in India by the end of 2019. This news was confirmed by Vikas Jhabakh, MD, Benelli India at the launch of the TRK 502 range.
The five launches will have a mix of new motorcycles, facelifts and some variant additions. The next launch for the Italian company is the Leoncino, which is likely to be launched in two variants, just like the TRK 502 range. So there will be the more off-road oriented Leoncino Trail 500 as well as the Leoncino 500 which is a road-biased bike. The Benelli 752S could also make its way to India as the production model was unveiled to the world at the 2018 EICMA. The other two bikes could be facelifts of the current models like the TNT 600i and the TNT 300.
Benelli plans to take an aggressive approach to its India launches with its new partner, Adishwar Auto Ride India. The company also plans to achieve a good market share, which it lost due to the financial issues with its previous partner, DSK Motowheels. Benelli is focussed on offering good value for money products and also plans to provide excellent support. The number of showrooms will also increase in the next few months.
