Keeway America, the US distributor for Keeway and Benelli motorcycles, showcased Benelli's exciting 2025 model range at the recent EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The historic Italian brand unveiled several new motorcycles, signifying a strong commitment to innovation and design.
Taking centre stage was the 2025 Benelli TRK 902 Xplorer, presented as more than just a motorcycle; rather, a symbol of Benelli's past, present, and future. Designed at the Centro Stile Benelli in Pesaro, this adventure bike boasts a new platform and a powerful 904cc parallel-twin engine generating 100 hp and 66 lb-ft of torque. Showcased in a striking "Jungle Fog" colour scheme, the TRK 902 Xplorer is geared for long-distance travel, featuring integrated fog lights, an adjustable windscreen, a generous 5.8-gallon fuel tank, and long-travel suspension with 7.9 inches of travel at both the front and rear.
Also unveiled was the 2025 Benelli Tornado 550, an upgraded version of the model teased last year. This sporty machine incorporates a 554cc parallel-twin engine producing 61 hp and 40 lb-ft of torque. Its distinctive sculpted fairing and daytime running lights, designed to resemble a lion's canines â a nod to the Benelli brandâs historical symbol â add to its aggressive aesthetic. High-quality components such as Marzocchi suspension and Brembo brakes further enhance its performance, complemented by a large TFT display with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
For the lightweight adventure market, Benelli introduced the versatile 2025 Benelli BKX 300 and BKX 300S. Both models are powered by a 300cc single-cylinder engine and offer adjustable front and rear suspension. The BKX 300S, aimed at road use, features 17-inch wheels, while the BKX 300, designed for off-road adventures, sports a larger 19-inch front wheel.
While US availability and pricing for these new models remain unannounced, Benelli's current US lineup offers a compelling range of options. These include the updated TRK 702 and TRK 702X, making their US debut in January 2025. The TRK 702 (£7,899), with cast wheels and street-focused tyres, and the TRK 702X (£8,499), featuring spoked wheels and knobbly tyres, are presented as affordable and versatile adventure bikes. Available for purchase in December 2024.
The classic Benelli Imperiale 400 (£4,899) continues the brand's heritage, blending modern engineering with retro styling. A homage to Giuseppe Benelli's Motobi Imperiale, this timeless machine will be available in December 2024. Further bolstering the current range are the popular TRK 502 (£6,299) and TRK 502X (£6,699) â Italy's best-selling motorcycle â offering excellent value in the adventure segment. The sporty 302S (£4,799), ideal for both novice and experienced riders, and the fun TNT 135 (£3,199) mini-moto complete the existing range.
