Key highlights of its design include a beefy USD fork, exposed trellis frame and twin-barrel exhaust system.
Wheelbase and Ground Clearance

Other highlights of Benelli’s new cruiser include its fully digital instrument console, laid-back riding ergonomics and adjustable clutch. The fuel tank of 21-litre has been given in the bike, which will be very helpful in long journeys.
