From a certain scale, a manufacturer does not leave a lone wolf in its range. Even more if a specimen has some success or sees itself becoming a standard bearer. This is the case for the Leoncino of renewal. This nicely designed mid-capacity machine expands its offer: a standard model for strolling on the road, a trail version for "scramblerize", a Sport variation to simulate a café-racer, and for discoverers, a small 250 variation.
By falling to the quarter-liter format, the Leoncino loses in size. You can feel her more frail, almost more shy. But the barely modified pencil stroke allows it to be of the same level of seduction as the 500. The headlight tries to impose itself more but the little lion on the front mudguard will capture more attention..
The engine is entrusted to a mono, stitched to the BN 251 and also officiating in the trail TRK 251. We will have on hand something to play in town and muser in the countryside. The mechanics develop 25.8 horsepower at 9,250 rpm and a small torque of 2.16 mkg at 8,000 rpm. The braking power is readapted to the mini format of the lion cub, with a single brake disc at the front, in petal format with 280 mm in diameter and 4 pistons in the caliper. The rear is entrusted to a 240 mm disc and single piston caliper. Under the supervision of an ABS.
The inverted fork is displayed at the front, also in a reduced format with 41 mm. The tubular steel frame is not that of the 500 Leoncino nor that of the BN 251. It will perfectly suit the claims of this machine..
The two and a half roadster offer at Benelli intends to satisfy two very different characters. You have the BN 251 to take advantage of an aggressive design, or the 250 Leoncino for a more refined style and with a neo-retro look. Cute, not violent and in a price range that is intended to be the most accessible, the Benelli will face the same problem as its competitors: to convince of the virtues of its positioning in displacement.
