2022 Benelli TRK 800 arrives with stunning looks: Check features
Italian bikemaker Benelli has taken the wraps off the new TRK 800 model at the ongoing EICMA motor show in Milan, Italy. The updated model features a slightly revised styling and new wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tires. The ADV retains the overall aggressive design philosophy from the outgoing model. It remains mechanically unchanged and features the same 754cc, twin-cylinder engine from the outgoing model.
Why does this story matter?
Benelli is one of the oldest motorcycle brands across the globe. The Italian marque is known for offering performance-oriented bikes at a relatively value-for-money proposition. The TRK range of motorcycles has been gaining popularity with people looking for middleweight ADVs with an appeal and presence of a liter-class offering. The TRK 800 competes against Triumph Tiger 900, Ducati Multistrada V2 and KTM 890 Adventure.
The ADV sports wire-spoke wheels and an all-LED lighting setup
The Benelli TRK 800 has a typical ADV silhouette and sits on a trellis frame. It flaunts a prominent beak, a muscular fuel tank with tank extensions, dual LED headlights with eyebrow-like DRL, an upright windscreen, a wide handlebar, split-type seats, an upswept exhaust, and a sleek LED taillight. The motorcycle packs an LCD instrument cluster and rides on wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tires.
It draws power from a 754cc, twin-cylinder engine
The TRK 800 is backed by a 754cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine from the Leoncino 800. The mill generates a maximum power of 77hp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 67Nm at 6,500rpm. Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
It is equipped with disc brakes on both wheels
To ensure the safety of the rider, the TRK 800 is armed with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for better braking performance. Suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by 50mm Marzocchi inverted forks on the front and a preload-adjustable mono-shock unit on the rear end.
