The Benelli Motard 250 was especially created to be the perfect motorcycle for less experienced riders. When designing the bike, Benelli’s engineers have spent a lot of time to make it easy to maneuver, light and also strong enough to offer a fun riding experience.
At its heart lies a single-cylinder, 4 stroke, liquid cooled, 4 valves, double overhead camshaft, fuel injected engine that puts out a maximum output of 18 kw (25 cv) at 9000 rpm and 21 Nm (2,14 kgm) of torque at 7000 rpm. All this power is kept in leash by a six speed gearbox with wet clutch.
The engine is wrapped by a stiff frame made of resilient tubular steel which sits on a set of comfortable suspensions. Talking about suspensions they consist of a ø 50mm front fork with hydraulic adjustment and a rear single shock-absorber with progressive link.
