As of now, both motorcycles do not meet new European emission norms
- The TRK 502 and 502X get new paint options and decals.
- Both motorcycles now come equipped with backlit switchgear, a revised seat and restyled mirrors.
- Benelli also unveiled the 2020 TNT 600i at the premiere motorcycle show.
While the Benelli Leoncino 800 was the most talked-about motorcycle at the Italian bike maker’s pavilion at the 2019 EICMA motorcycle show, it also unveiled its 2020 model lineup. The 2020 TRK 502 and the 502X have received cosmetic updates in the form of new paint options, backlit switchgear, a revised seat, adjustable brake and clutch levers and new decals. However, we were expecting Benelli to bring the Euro 5/BS6-compliant models, but it seems like we will be getting the updated powertrain only after the new emission norms kick in.
Both motorcycles share the same underpinnings and are powered by the same engine as well. The 500cc in-line two-cylinder motor produces 47.5PS and 46Nm of torque. However, once the new Euro 5/BS6-compliant variants come in, this motor might have a different power output than the existing motor.
On a side note, Benelli also unveiled the 2020 TNT 600i, which too has gone under the knife. And just like the TRK twins, the new TNT 600i isn’t Euro 5/BS6-compliant either, hinting that it might not come to our shores any time soon. We have done a detailed report about the new TNT 600i, which you can read here.
Benelli TRK 502 User Reviews
- Beleni TRX 502X is best vehicle for Long ridesExcellent Comfort and riding quality, Must go on long rides and breaking system is too good. Moderate maintenance, hasslefree for rider and co-rider. Good when rider has long legs, but for short leg people we can use highboots that will help better riding and enjoyable ride. I liked the vehicle and I will be rating it as 4.5/5.Read More8 7
- Great adv tourer / even better for Bangalore roadsReally good comfort (most comfortable in the segment). Really good pickup and acceleration for a 500 cc bike, rides very well in rains. The road presence is 100% a head turner. The bike is mostly not suitable for anyone below 5’ 6”, but the weight distribution is pretty good. And the quality of every part of the bike— I’m very happy with it overall.Read More1 3

- A Versatile RideI recently purchased the Benelli TRK 502 and have been loving its versatility. The headline Benelli TRK 502 is a Versatile Adventure Bike fits it perfectly. The 500cc parallel twin engine provides plenty of power for highway riding and light off-road use. The suspension and 21-inch front wheel give a comfortable ride on roads while being capable of easy dirt. The large fuel tank allows for long range between fill-ups. This bike is a joy for touring the highways as well as exploring backcountry roads.Read More2 1
