Benelli 600RR Sportbike Spotted

The fully-faired Benelli 600RR sportbike was spotted in China.
It’s based on the 600cc naked bike.
It may also share the new TFT screen and keyless ignition.

Seems like the Chinese-Italian brand Benelli dropped a bombshell on us. We had been publishing updates on an upcoming 600cc naked bike, but suddenly pictures of the fully-faired Benelli 600RR sportbike began popping up over the internet.

The picture shows a bike based on the TnT600i platform but wearing the QJiang – for Qianjang Motorcycles (the owners of the Benelli brand) – in China. It’s speculated to be called the 600SRG, after the 600SRK naked bike in the People’s Republic. However, it may be called the 600RR in other markets.

As it’s based on the TnT600 platform, it’s evident that it retains the same engine and chassis. The differences are the underslung exhaust canister of the updated TnT600. There’s no close up shot but it may also include the new TFT screen and keyless ignition system of the new naked bike.

Eagle-eyed observers also pointed out that the 600RR wears reflectors on the fork legs, signaling Benelli’s wish to comply with European laws. The bike currently adheres to the China IV emission standard, which is the equivalent of Euro IV. Benelli would need to work on it to comply with Euro V if they wished to sell the bike in Europe.

It’s also speculated that the inline-Four engine produces 80 hp. That’s puts it in between the Kawasaki Ninja 650 (70 hp) and Honda CB650R (98 hp). However, the Benelli is (much) heavier at 215 kg.

There’s no information on whether Benelli had reworked the engine. During our last tests, the TnT600i had to be revved upwards of 6,000 RPM for any meaningful acceleration. The exhaust was something else, though.

There’s also no word on how much it costs or when it’ll be released in Malaysia, but we’ll keep you updated.

Benelli 600RR Bakal Saingi Pasaran Sports Bike Kelas Menengah

Benelli 600RR merupakan percubaan sulung syarikat Itali/China itu dalam segmen sports bike kelas menengah (middle-weight).

Model tersebut dijangka akan memberi saingan terhadap segmen 650cc lain antaranya Kawasaki Ninja 650 dan CBR650R.

Mengguna pakai enjin 4-silinder yang terdapat pada Benelli 600i, model ini dijangka menawarkan 84hp dan 54Nm.

Pada masa sama, model ini turut dijangka didatangkan dengan fork USD, brek Brembo dan paparan TFT.

Sementara itu, 600RR ini turut didatangkan dengan identiti Benelli apabila menawarkan berat sekitar 215 kilogram – Ninja 650 (186kg), CBR650R (207kg).

Ketika ini masih tiada pengumuman rasmi mengenai tarikh pelancaran model ini untuk pasaran dunia namun kami jangkakan Benelli akan perkenalkan jentera ini dalam masa terdekat. – VisorDown

Spy Shot: Imej Benelli SRK600 Didedahkan – Skrin TFT, Brek Brembo!

Imej ‘spy shot’ tular di internet memaparkan model baharu daripada Benelli, SRK600.

Berdasarkan gambar tersebut, jelas Benelli SRK600 kini berada di peringkat akhir pengeluaran dan hampir pasti akan dilancarkan dalam masa terdekat.

Bagaimanapun, model ini masih lagi mengekalkan kerangka trellis bagi mengekalkan identiti ‘Itali’ yang dibawa jenama Benelli.

Sementara itu, rekaan lampu depan seakan membawa aura Kawasaki Z1000 namun ciri paling menonjol adalah penggunaan skrin TFT berwarna termasuk sistem keyless.

Pada masa sama, sistem penyerap hentakan didakwa mengguna pakai jenama Matsuchi sementara sistem membrek dikendalikan kaliper monoblock M4 Brembo termasuk ABS.

Ketika ini masih tiada maklumat rasmi mengenai pelancaran model ini namun berdasarkan imej tersebut jelas pelancaran akan dilaksanakan dalam masa terdekat bergantung kepada situasi semasa pandemik Covid-19. – Visordown

More Photos of New Benelli 600 and 1200 Leaked

More photos of the new Benelli 600 and 1200 have been leaked online.
The photos also show new premium features on the 600.
The 1200 is currently being offered as a police bike.

More photos of the new Benelli 600 and 1200 have been leaked online.

But that’s not all. It seems that the 600 will be equipped with the latest electronics that’ve so far graced premium motorcycles. The photos below show a new colour TFT screen, besides a keyless go ignition system. Another photo shows backlit switchgear, although you can already find this feature in another Chinese bike.

Another photo shows the factory floor filled with the new 600cc bike, which is based on the current TnT600i. The different here is the underbelly silencer as opposed to the current underseat design. The bikes are look ready and are awaiting their bodywork.

There’s also a picture of the Benelli BJ1200J police bike, which resembles the BMW R 1250 RT. The Qianjiang Group (owners of Benelli) are hoping to compete with CFMoto and their CF1250J to equip China’s police force.

Benelli has a 1209cc three-cylinder engine based on the previous 1130cc three-cylinder which powered the TreK, Tornado and TnT1130. It produces 134 hp, compared to CFMoto’s 140 hp V-Twin which was based on the KTM 1279cc LC8.

It has to be said that Chinese motorcycle manufacturers are coming into the premium segment. Yes, there are still manufacturers who produce cheap knockoffs, but the premium makers are starting to become like Huawei who’s challenging the likes of Samsung and Apple.

New Benelli TnT600i (BN600i) Pictures Leaked?

Pictures of a new The Benelli TnT600i (or BN600i in other markets) were seemingly leaked over the internet.
The new bike shows aesthetic changes.
Mechanical parts look the same.

Pictures of a new The Benelli TnT600i (or BN600i in other markets) were seemingly leaked over the internet.

The new bike shows aesthetic changes, while the rest of its parts look status quo.

Starting from the front, the “new” bike will have a twin headlamp setup, differing from the current type which has been in circulation for a long time. The fuel tank also appears to have changed.

Apart from that, the exhaust silencers are no longer sited under the seat and are instead underslung under the engine. Doing so may save some weight as well as giving the bike a more centralized center of gravity.

With the silencers relocated, the tailsection looks tidier and a splash guard is mounted on the swingarm. It might carry the number plate plus turnsignals a la MV Agusta Brutale.

There is also speculation that this bike will receive a new TFT screen, which remains to be seen. Benelli has stuck with the conventional analogue RPM meter and an LCD screen for too long.

That howling inline-Four engine looks the same, although the exhaust headers are now aligned and parallel to each other.

We just hope that the previous random starting problems have been sorted.

1,200cc Benelli tourer in the works?

If you’re a fan of Benelli motorcycles, better get yourselves prepared as they’re probably going to release a 1,200cc Benelli tourer sometime in the near future BUT with a more ‘grand tourer’ façade for those who are keen on travelling long distances in comfort and style. (more…)

Benelli Bakal Perkenalkan Jentera Grand Touring 1200cc

Baru-baru ini, Benelli membuat kejutan apabila mendedahkan bakal memperkenalkan beberapa model baharu tahun ini antaranya TRK800, 600RR dan 600GT.

Bagaimanapun, jenama motosikal Itali itu – meskipun dikilangkan di Wenling, China – dikhabarkan akan menghasilkan sebuah motosikal jenis touring yang tampak seiras dengan BMW RT1250.

Menggunakan enjin 1200cc, model baharu ini – yang dilabelkan sebagai QJ1200-3 – didakwa menghasilkan 134hp dan dijangka akan diperkenalkan di EICMA, hujung tahun ini.

Berdasarkan maklumat yang disebarkan, jentera terbabit berkemampuan mencapai kelajuan maksima sekitar 220km/j.

Difahamkan, jentera ini akan dipasarkan pada 2021.

Adakah rakyat Malaysia akhirnya akan mendapat sebuah jentera segmen GT namun dengan harga mampu milik berbanding yang ditawarkan jenama lain?

Benelli Bakal Perkenalkan TRK 800, 600 RR Dan 600 GT Tahun Ini

Zhejiang Qianjiang Motorcycle Group Co – pemilik jenama Benelli – mendedahkan beberapa perkara bagi tahun 2020 ketika sesi penyampaian syarikat itu, baru-baru ini.

Selain daripada mendedahkan kerjasama dengan Harley Davidson dalam menghasilkan HD 338, Qianjiang Motorcycle turut bakal memperkenalkan beberapa model baharu – Benelli TRK800, 600RR dan Imperiale 530.

Berdasarkan penyampaian tersebut, Benelli akan melancarkan TNT600i pada Februari, TKR 502X 2020 pada Mac dan Leoncino 800 pada hujung April tahun ini.

Bermula bulan Mei ke atas, Benelli akan memperkenalkan beberapa model baharu antaranya 600N dan 600RR.

Sementara bulan Jun akan menyaksikan pendedahan dua model baharu, HD 338 dan sebuah motosikal 250cc – maklumat terperinci tidak didedahkan.

Bagaimanapun, bulan September bakal menjadi fokus utama apabila Benelli akan memperkenalkan TRK 800 selepas mendedahkan Leoncino 800 di EICMA, November tahun lalu.

Difahamkan, TRK 800 akan menggunakan enjin parallel twin 754cc yang menghasilkan 81hp.

Kemudian pada bulan November, Benelli akan memperkenalkan 600RR versi touring yang dinamakan 600GT.

Lebih 63,000 Unit Dijual Bagi 2019, Benelli Atasi Penjualan Ducati

Meskipun tidak semegah jenama motosikal Itali lain seperti Ducati dan Aprilia namun Benelli berjaya merekodkan penjualan lebih 63,000 unit bagi tahun 2019.

Siapa sangka jenama yang suatu ketika dulu menghasilkan senapang patah, kini berjaya merekodkan penjualan lebih tinggi berbanding Ducati bagi 2019.

Meskipun DNA Itali semakin pudar – setelah dimiliki Qianjiang Motorcycle – angka penjualan terbabit membuktikan orang ramai tidak peduli dengan senario tersebut.

Malah, jumlah penjualan tersebut turut meningkat berbanding 59,750 pada 2018.

Kos pengeluaran yang rendah – susulan dikilangkan di China – sekaligus membawa kepada harga mampu milik termasuk rekaan jentera moden membolehkan Benelli semakin mendapat perhatian ramai.

Menariknya, langkah ini juga kini diekori pengeluar lain antaranya KTM, Triumph dan kini Harley Davidson yang bekerjasama dengan Qianjiang Motorcycle dalam menghasilkan jentera yang lebih kecil.

Bagaimanapun, tidak dinafikan, Benelli merupakan pengeluar motosikal Eropah pertama yang mengambil langkah berani ini.

Pembukaan kilang di India – pasaran motosikal terbesar dunia – juga dilihat akan terus memacu penjualan Benelli bermula dengan Benelli 302S yang akan dilancarkan dalam masa terdekat.

Bagi tahun 2020, Benelli dijangka akan memperkenalkan Leoncino Trail 800 selepas diperkenalkan kepada dunia di EICMA, November tahun lalu.

Segmen 500cc turut rancak di Malaysia tatkala Benelli menawarkan dua model menarik, TRK 502 dan Leoncino 500 – kedua dua model ini juga ditawarkan dalam versi 250cc.

2020 Benelli Leoncino 800 and 2020 Benelli Leconcino 800 Trail Launched

The 2020 Benelli Leoncino 800 and 2020 Benelli Leconcino 800 Trail were launched at EICMA 2019.
Both share the same engine and frame.
The Trail has a 19-inch front wheel.

As expected, the 2020 Benelli Leoncino 800 and 2020 Benelli Leconcino 800 Trail were launched at EICMA 2019.

Pictures of the bike were leaked a couple of months back, but they didn’t indicate that there will be two variants. Both bikes share the same engine and frame platform. They are powered by a754cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin which produces 81.6 bhp at 9,000 RPM and 67 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. It’s power may not be as high as its contemporaries but the 2,500 RPM spread of power between maximum torque and horsepower shows that the engine has a wide powerband — “flexible” as we usually call it.

Both “Lion Cubs” (that’s what “Leoncino” means) use Benelli’s signature steel trellis frame.Stopping duties are handled by Brembo (instead of Benelli) monobloc brake calipers and 320 mm discs up front. ABS is standard.

The base version feature 17-inch wheels front and rear, while the Trail sees a 19-inch front and 10mm more suspension travel. The Trail’s most significant design cue are the twin upswept exhaust pipes.

The Leoncino pair are rather heavy. The base, street-oriented variant tips the scales at 220 kg, while the Trail is 224 kg.
