Introducing the Leoncino Bobber 400
Benelli is stepping into the bobber game with their all-new Leoncino Bobber 400. This stylish cruiser is not just a pretty face; it’s a testament to Benelli’s commitment to evolving with the motorcycle world. With roots in retro design, the Leoncino aims to capture the hearts of riders who appreciate classic aesthetics intertwined with modern engineering.
A Blend of Power and Elegance
The Leoncino Bobber 400 showcases a 386.5cc V-twin motor that produces a respectable 25bhp at 8000rpm and 27lb.ft of torque at a mere 4500rpm. This powertrain is significant for Benelli as it marks their first foray into creating a 60-degree twin engine. Riders can experience the thrill of a cruiser without the crushing power weights, providing a perfect balance for both new and experienced riders.
Bobber Styling Inspired by Heavyweights
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle, the Leoncino Bobber 400 embraces key style elements — notably, the right-hand side mounted air intake that Harley enthusiasts know and love. Its design reflects a commitment to creating a machine that not only performs but also turns heads on the road.
While the synchronous belt drive offers reduced maintenance compared to traditional chain systems, some may find the complexity of belt replacements a small price to pay for a quieter ride. With the launch of the Leoncino Bobber 400, Benelli proves that they’re more than ready to join the ranks of iconic cruisers, bringing a distinctive flair to the landscape of modern motorcycling.
