Benelli TRK 502X — Overview
The Benelli TRK 502X is a adventure bike available at a price range of Rs. 7,14,000 - Rs. 7,42,740 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 3 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 502X comes with anti-locking braking system. The TRK 502X bike weighs 235 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 502X is the off-road focused variant of the TRK 502 family - sharing the same 499.6cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel-twin engine as the TRK 502 but fitted with spoked wheels, higher ground clearance, a taller 860mm seat height, and knobby adventure tyres for genuine trail and off-road capability. Launched in India in 2019, it is the only 500cc parallel-twin adventure motorcycle available in India under Rs 6 lakh with proper off-road wheel and suspension setup. At Rs 5,30,000 ex-showroom, the TRK 502X is a niche but compelling proposition for riders who want twin-cylinder character on trails and mountain routes.
What We Like
- 499.6cc parallel-twin with spoked wheels and off-road setup is unique under Rs 6 lakh in India - every other 500cc parallel-twin in India runs alloy wheels and road-biased geometry; the TRK 502X gives twin-cylinder torque to riders who venture beyond tarmac
- Spoked wheels accept off-road tyres and provide better shock absorption on rough terrain than alloy wheels; the 19-inch front wheel (compared to 17-inch on the TRK 502) rolls over obstacles more easily and provides better traction on loose surfaces - the standard equipment used on serious adventure bikes globally
- 45 Nm from the parallel-twin at low-to-mid rpm makes the TRK 502X a capable loaded tourer - at Himalayan highway altitudes where thin air reduces power, the twin's torque delivery remains composed and tractable; NH touring from Manali to Leh on the TRK 502X is relaxed in a way that 373cc singles struggle to replicate
What Could Be Better
- 240 kg kerb weight is too heavy for genuine off-road use - the TRK 502X's trail capability is limited to gravel roads, light off-road tracks, and well-packed dirt; when it drops in soft terrain or a rocky stream crossing, recovering it alone is extremely difficult; purpose-built ADV bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (196 kg) and KTM 390 Adventure (167 kg) are far more practical for actual off-road riding
- Rs 5,30,000 is Rs 2.3-2.6 lakh more than the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - the Himalayan 450 has ride modes, traction control, a slip-and-assist clutch, and nationwide Royal Enfield service support; the TRK 502X's premium over a purpose-built ADV is difficult to justify solely on off-road grounds
- 860mm seat height and 240 kg is a demanding combination - only experienced, physically capable riders above 5'9" will find the TRK 502X manageable at all-day slow-speed off-road sections; for most Indian riders, the TRK 502 at 830mm and 238 kg is already a large motorcycle
Editor's Verdict
Should You Buy the Benelli TRK 502X?
The Benelli TRK 502X is the right motorcycle for a very specific buyer: tall, experienced, who wants parallel-twin character and spoked wheel flexibility for mixed touring that includes gravel tracks and light trail, and who lives near a Benelli service centre. The twin-cylinder engine, spoked wheels, higher ground clearance, and 20-litre tank make it genuinely capable on mixed NH-plus-gravel routes. But 240 kg limits its actual off-road range, and Rs 5,30,000 buys a much more purpose-built ADV in the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Choose the TRK 502X only if the parallel-twin character and the unique off-road twin combination specifically matches your riding profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
QIs the Benelli TRK 502X worth buying in 2026?▾
Yes - for tall, experienced riders who want the specific combination of a 500cc parallel-twin, spoked wheels, and off-road-ready setup at under Rs 6 lakh. The TRK 502X is the only motorcycle with this specification in India at this price. However, verify that a Benelli service centre is accessible from your home city - the service network is the most significant practical limitation for long-tour use.
QWhat is the mileage of Benelli TRK 502X?▾
The Benelli TRK 502X has an ARAI-certified mileage of approximately 24 kmpl. Real-world mixed touring returns approximately 20-25 kmpl. On off-road sections or hilly terrain, economy drops toward 18-22 kmpl. With the 20-litre tank, real-world range per fill is approximately 400-500 km depending on terrain.
QWhat is the difference between Benelli TRK 502 and TRK 502X?▾
Both share the same 499.6cc parallel-twin engine (47.5 PS, 45 Nm). Key differences: TRK 502X has spoked wheels (19-inch front, 17-inch rear), 860mm seat height (vs 830mm), higher ground clearance, knobby off-road tyres, and additional crash protection. The TRK 502 has alloy wheels (17-inch), 830mm seat, road-biased tyres, and is Rs 20,000 cheaper. Choose TRK 502 for tarmac and highway touring; TRK 502X for mixed ADV and trail use.
QDoes Benelli TRK 502X have dual-channel ABS?▾
Yes - the Benelli TRK 502X comes with dual-channel ABS as standard. Both the dual 320mm front discs and 260mm rear disc are independently managed. The ABS is switchable on some versions - off-road ABS deactivation is possible for trail riding where front-wheel lockup is sometimes intentional.
QWhat is the on-road price of Benelli TRK 502X in Delhi?▾
The Benelli TRK 502X ex-showroom price in Delhi is approximately Rs 5,30,000. On-road in Delhi - adding Delhi RTO (~10-11%), third-party insurance, own-damage insurance, and dealer charges - is approximately Rs 6,15,000-6,45,000.
QBenelli TRK 502X vs Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 - which is better?▾
The TRK 502X wins on engine (500cc parallel-twin vs 452cc single), dual front discs, and tank size (20L vs 17L). The Himalayan 450 wins on weight (196 kg vs 240 kg - a 44 kg gap that transforms off-road capability), price (Rs 2.7-3.0 lakh vs Rs 5.3 lakh - Rs 2.3 lakh cheaper), ride modes and traction control, slip-and-assist clutch, and Royal Enfield's nationwide service network. For genuine off-road ADV use: Himalayan 450. For parallel-twin highway touring with occasional gravel: TRK 502X.
QCan the Benelli TRK 502X handle Ladakh and Spiti?▾
Yes - the TRK 502X has handled Ladakh and Spiti routes regularly in the Indian touring community. The parallel-twin's torque at altitude, 20-litre tank for remote stretches, and 860mm seat height for standing on rough patches make it capable. However, 240 kg means recovery from drops is demanding, and the thin Benelli service network means breakdowns in remote areas are a genuine risk. Carry spare clutch and brake levers, and travel with another rider.
QWhat is the top speed of Benelli TRK 502X?▾
The Benelli TRK 502X has an estimated top speed of approximately 155-165 kmph. Real-world cruising at 90-100 kmph is comfortable and relaxed. The knobby tyres create more wind noise and drag at highway speeds than the road-biased TRK 502, making the 502 marginally more comfortable at sustained 100+ kmph.
