2023 Benelli TRK 702 and 702 X ADVs break cover
Italian automaker Benelli has showcased the 2023 iterations of the TRK 702 and TRK 702 X at the EICMA 2022 motor show. The updated ADVs retain the aggressive design of the outgoing models. While the former is offered with three paint schemes, the latter gets four color options. The motorcycles are powered by a 698cc, twin-cylinder engine that makes 76hp of power.
Why does this story matter?
The TRK range was introduced by Benelli in 2017 to capture the middleweight ADV segment across the globe. It featured the TRK 502 and TRK 502 X, with the line-up later expanding with four new models. The TRK 702 twins are touted as two of the most capable adventure tourers in the sub-800cc category. The updated motorcycles are expected to arrive in early 2023.
Both ADVs flaunt a prominent beak and all-LED lighting setup
The 2023 Benelli TRK 702 and TRK 702 X sport a prominent beak, a muscular 20-liter fuel tank, a dual pod LED headlight with integrated DRL, an adjustable windscreen, a side-mounted exhaust, split-type seats, and a sleek LED taillamp. The motorcycles pack a Bluetooth-enabled 5.0-inch full-color TFT instrument cluster. The former rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, while the latter gets offroad-biased 17-inch wire-spoked rims.
They are backed by a 76hp, parallel-twin engine
The 2023 TRK 702 and TRK 702 X are powered by the same 698cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that is linked to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper and assist clutch. The motor produces a maximum power of 76hp and a peak torque of 68.2Nm.
Both motorcycles are equipped with disc brakes and dual-channel ABS
In terms of rider safety, the 2023 TRK 702 and TRK 702 X are equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for improved braking performance. The suspension duties on both ADVs are taken care of by 50mm inverted forks on the front and a preload-adjustable mono-shock unit on the rear end.
