Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Benda officially launched its cruiser, the LFC700, a year after unveiling it at China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition as a concept.

Interestingly, the production-ready LFC700 looks pretty similar to CIMA’s concept and comes in two variants, Standard and High-Power.

The Benda LFC700 s powered by an 680cc inline-four liquid-cooled engine with the Standard making 84.4hp @ 10,000rpm and 60Nm @ 8,000rpm while the High-Power offers 92.5hp @ 11,000rpm and 63Nm @ 8,500rpm.

According to Benda, the base variant can reach a top speed of 170km/h and 195km/h for the flagship version.

While both variants get a 20L fuel tank, only the High-Power variants come equipped with a slipper clutch.

Unlike the concept, the production version does not come with a ride-by-wire and cruise control function, which we assume keeps the cost low.

The High-Power variants also get an inverted front fork and rear monoshock from KYB, Brembo callipers (Nissin for the Standard variant) and ABS dual-channel.

Other notable features include:

• all LED lighting
• TFT display with navigation function
• 310mm rear tyre
• 235kg (kerb weight)

You can get your hands on the all-new LFC700 for a starting price of CNY38,800 (RM24,000) for the Standard and CNY45,800 (RM29,400) for the high-end model.

Meanwhile, the LFC700 is expected to be available in selected countries across Asia and Europe soon.

In July, the Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, Benda, is expected to reveal the company’s latest model, the LFC700.

Firstly introduced as a concept cruiser last year with the codename LF-01, Benda will pull the wrap over the new model in an official event scheduled at Xi’an, China.

While China motorcycle brand is known to copy other established motorcycle in the market, Benda puts in an original design altogether.

Combining a futuristic element, the LFC700 is powered by a 680cc inline-four engine capable of producing around 97hp, making it the most powerful motorcycle ever produced by Benda.

Based on the concept bike, the LFC700 is expected to offer a full TFT display, assist and slipper clutch, ABS, and a hill start assist.

To make things even better, the LFC700 is expected to be priced at around CNY50,000 (RM31,800), making it very desirable for new and experienced riders.
