Benelli TRK 502 — Overview
The Benelli TRK 502 is a adventure bike available at a starting price of Rs. 6,62,000 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 2 colours. It is powered by a 500 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a ARAI mileage of 25 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Benelli TRK 502 comes with anti-locking braking system. The TRK 502 bike weighs 228 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 20 liters. It develops a power output of 46.8 bhp and a torque of 46 Nm.
The Benelli TRK 502 is the most accessible 500cc parallel-twin adventure tourer in India. First launched in 2018 and updated for BS6 compliance in 2021, it carries a 499.6cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel-twin producing 47.5 PS and 45 Nm, paired with 50mm USD front forks, dual 320mm front discs, dual-channel ABS, and a 20-litre fuel tank. At Rs 5,10,000 ex-showroom, the TRK 502 undercuts every other liquid-cooled twin-cylinder motorcycle available in India by a significant margin. The trade-off is a 238 kg kerb weight that demands respect and a Benelli service network that is thinner than the major Japanese or domestic brands.
What We Like
- 499.6cc parallel-twin at Rs 5,10,000 - there is no other liquid-cooled 500cc twin-cylinder motorcycle available in India at this price; the Kawasaki Versys 650 costs Rs 2.5 lakh more; the TRK 502 is the only route to a parallel-twin ADV tourer in India under Rs 5.5 lakh
- 45 Nm from the parallel-twin makes the TRK 502 a genuinely capable touring motorcycle - the engine pulls from low rpm without constant gear-shifting on NH routes; sustained highway cruising at 90-100 kmph is relaxed and unhurried in a way that 373-390cc singles simply cannot replicate
- 50mm USD front forks and dual 320mm front discs are proper mid-size ADV hardware - the front-end feel and braking performance under load (luggage + pillion) is confident and progressive; this specification is not found on KTM 390 Adventure or Royal Enfield Himalayan at comparable or lower prices
What Could Be Better
- 238 kg kerb weight is the TRK 502's defining limitation - 71 kg heavier than the KTM 390 Adventure (167 kg); the weight is felt at every low-speed manoeuvre, on mountain switchbacks, and when the bike needs to be walked in confined spaces; riders under 5'8" with limited upper body strength may find the TRK 502 physically demanding
- Benelli India's service network is concentrated in metros - tier-2 cities and smaller towns have limited or no authorised service access; for buyers who plan long Himalayan or NH tours that take them away from major cities, the thin service network is a genuine risk rather than a hypothetical concern
- At Rs 5,10,000, the TRK 502 faces an awkward positioning: the Royal Enfield 650 Twins (Rs 3.5-3.7 lakh) offer a more refined 648cc parallel-twin with nationwide RE service network and significantly lower price; buyers who don't specifically need ADV styling should seriously consider the 650 Twins
Editor's Verdict
Should You Buy the Benelli TRK 502?
The Benelli TRK 502 is the right motorcycle for one specific buyer: someone who wants a parallel-twin adventure tourer with proper touring capability, hardware, and ergonomics at under Rs 5.5 lakh, and lives near a Benelli service centre. The parallel-twin character, USD forks, dual front discs, and 20-litre tank are genuinely compelling at this price. The 238 kg weight and limited service network are the two reasons why the TRK 502 is not the obvious choice for everyone. If you are near a Benelli dealer, ride primarily on highways and mountain NH routes, and want a 500cc twin for under Rs 5.5 lakh - there is nothing else in India that competes.
Frequently Asked Questions
QIs the Benelli TRK 502 worth buying in 2026?▾
Yes - with two important qualifications. First, verify that a Benelli authorised service centre is accessible from your home city; the service network is significantly thinner than Royal Enfield or KTM. Second, test-ride the bike to assess whether 238 kg is manageable at your riding confidence level and physical capability. If both conditions are met, the TRK 502 is the best-value 500cc parallel-twin ADV available in India at Rs 5,10,000 and nothing else comes close.
QWhat is the mileage of Benelli TRK 502?▾
The Benelli TRK 502 has an ARAI-certified mileage of approximately 25 kmpl. Real-world mixed riding returns approximately 22-26 kmpl. On relaxed highway cruising at 80-90 kmph, owners report 24-27 kmpl. With the 20-litre tank, real-world range per fill is approximately 440-520 km - adequate for most long NH touring legs.
QBenelli TRK 502 vs KTM 390 Adventure - which is better?▾
The TRK 502 wins on engine character (parallel-twin 45 Nm vs single-cylinder 37 Nm), front-end hardware (50mm USD forks vs KTM's WP Apex forks), and touring comfort at loaded highway speeds. The 390 Adventure wins on weight (167 kg vs 238 kg - a 71 kg gap that is transformative off-road and in slow traffic), price (Rs 3.8-4.5 lakh vs Rs 5.1 lakh), and KTM's strong India service network. Highway touring on NH routes: TRK 502. Mixed touring with off-road sections and city use: 390 Adventure.
QWhat is the difference between TRK 502 and TRK 502X?▾
Both bikes share the 499.6cc parallel-twin engine. The TRK 502 is road-focused: alloy wheels, 830mm seat height, lower ground clearance, road-biased tyres - optimised for highway and occasional light gravel. The TRK 502X is off-road focused: spoked wheels, 860mm seat height, more ground clearance, knobby tyres, and additional crash protection - optimised for trail riding and rough unpaved routes. The TRK 502X is approximately Rs 10,000-20,000 more expensive.
QDoes Benelli TRK 502 have dual-channel ABS?▾
Yes - the Benelli TRK 502 comes with dual-channel ABS as standard. Both the dual 320mm front discs and 260mm rear disc are independently managed during emergency braking. The ABS system is switchable on some versions.
QWhat is the on-road price of Benelli TRK 502 in Delhi?▾
The Benelli TRK 502 ex-showroom price in Delhi is approximately Rs 5,10,000. On-road in Delhi - adding Delhi RTO (~10-11%), third-party insurance, own-damage insurance, and dealer charges - is approximately Rs 5,90,000-6,20,000.
QBenelli TRK 502 vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - which to buy?▾
The TRK 502 wins on engine displacement and character (500cc parallel-twin vs 452cc single), front suspension quality (50mm USD forks), and dual front discs. The Himalayan 450 wins on price (Rs 2.7-3.0 lakh - nearly Rs 2.1 lakh cheaper), significantly lighter weight (196 kg vs 238 kg), Royal Enfield's nationwide service network, and purpose-built off-road capability with a slip-and-assist clutch and multiple riding modes. For highway touring: TRK 502. For mixed ADV riding and long-route service accessibility: Himalayan 450.
QWhat is the top speed of Benelli TRK 502?▾
The Benelli TRK 502 has a claimed top speed of approximately 160-165 kmph. Real-world owners report comfortable cruising at 100-110 kmph with significant engine reserve, and maximum indicated speeds of 150-160 kmph. For Indian highway conditions, 90-100 kmph is the practical comfort cruise range.
