EICMA 2026: Benelli Tornado Naked Twin 700, TRK 602 X And 903 Concept Unveiled
The Tornado Naked Twin 700 looks good and sounds promising
At EICMA 2026, Benelli has showcased three important upcoming motorcycles: the Tornado Naked Twin 700, the production-spec TRK 602 X and the Tornado Tre 903 Concept. Here’s everything you need to know about these 3:
Benelli Tornado Naked Twin 700
The Tornado Naked Twin 700 is the largest motorcycle in Benelli's new Tornado Naked range. It uses a 698cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine derived from the engine used in the TRK 702, but gets revised intake, exhaust and engine-management systems for this application.
The engine produces 73.4PS at 8,000rpm and 67Nm at 6,000rpm. It gets a six-speed gearbox, assist-and-slipper clutch and a bi-directional quickshifter. An A2-compliant 35kW version will also be available in some markets.
Suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable Marzocchi USD fork and an adjustable rear shock. Braking hardware comes from Brembo, with 320mm twin front discs along with a 260mm rear disc. The bike weighs 195kg in running order and has an 805mm seat height. It gets 17-inch alloy wheels with a 120/70 front and 180/55 rear tyre. Fuel capacity stands at 15.5 litres.
On the electronics front, the Tornado Naked Twin 700 gets three riding modes, switchable traction control and ABS, cruise control and tyre-pressure monitoring. A 5-inch colour TFT display offers Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone functions and navigation. Heated grips, a heated seat and a USB-C port are also part of the equipment list.
Benelli TRK 602 X
The TRK 602 X has now entered production after being previewed at the previous EICMA. It will sit below the TRK 702 in Benelli's adventure-bike line-up and replaces the TRK 502 X.
Power comes from a 554cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces up to 56PS and 53Nm, with a 35kW version available for A2 licence requirements. Benelli has revised the airbox and exhaust for the TRK application.
The motorcycle uses a steel trellis frame, an aluminium subframe and an aluminium swingarm. There is a 43mm USD fork with 140mm of travel, with a monoshock that has 173mm of travel and adjustable preload, compression and rebound.
Braking is handled by twin 320mm front discs and a 260mm rear disc. The bike runs on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels, shod with 110/80 and 150/70 tyres. The seat height is 825mm.
The electronics package includes two riding modes, traction control and ABS, both of which can be switched off. A 5-inch colour TFT gets Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone functions and navigation. A USB port and centre stand are standard, while crash bars and an aluminium bash plate are also fitted.
Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 903 Concept
The most technically interesting of the three is also the one that isn't a production motorcycle yet. The Tornado Naked Tre 903 Concept brings back Benelli's three-cylinder engine configuration with an all-new engine. Benelli has not revealed official power or torque figures.
The new triple uses ride-by-wire, a six-axis IMU, a bi-directional quickshifter and an assist-and-slipper clutch. The engine itself weighs a claimed 56kg and is designed to rev to around 14,000rpm.
The suspension and braking hardware is fancier than on the production bikes, with Marzocchi front suspension, an Öhlins rear shock and Brembo brakes.
The headline feature, however, is its active aerodynamic system. The bike uses electrically controlled wings whose angle can be altered according to speed, acceleration, braking and cornering. The left and right sides can be controlled independently, with a six-axis IMU providing the required data. The wings can also retract into the aerodynamic bodywork when they aren't required. For now, the 903 is strictly a concept, so there is no confirmed production timeline or specification beyond the technology Benelli has shown at EICMA 2026.
