Benelli Leoncino 800
Not much has changed compared to the concept. The tank is now a bit more streamlined, the engine case was slightly revised, other brakediscs were installed and the spoke wheels were exchanged for a multi-spoke cast wheels.
But it would be quite possible that one can order the spoke wheels as an option. The little sister, the Leoncino 500, also exists in two versions, one of which is equipped with spoked wheels.
Leoncino means lion cub, so a lion figure is attached to the front fender.
It is powered by the well-known 754 cc Parallel Twin, which also powers the 752S. The engine makes 76 hp. The Leoncino 800 should bring 223 kg to the scale, ready for use.
It is made in China, but the design was made in Italy. Further data is expected to Eicma.
