The King of the Pride

The "Lion of Pesaro" has grown up. Introducing the Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail, the most powerful and capable scrambler in the Benelli lineup. While it shares the neo-retro DNA of its smaller sibling, the 800 Trail is a completely different beast, engineered for riders who demand premium performance, higher horsepower, and serious off-road specifications.

Powered by a responsive 754cc twin-cylinder engine and equipped with top-tier components from Marzocchi and Brembo, this motorcycle bridges the gap between a stylish urban commuter and a rugged adventure machine. With its distinctive high-mounted exhaust and rally-inspired aesthetics, the Leoncino 800 Trail doesn't just look the part—it dominates the terrain.

Pay homage to over 100 years of Italian history. The Forest Green finish connects the Leoncino 800 Trail to the classic racing machines of Benelli’s past. This deep, rich matte green contrasts beautifully with the gold-anodised outer fork tubes and the silver exhaust pipes. It is the quintessential scrambler look—timeless, elegant, and ready for the wild.

Key Features & Upgrades

Step up to the big league with Benelli’s advanced 754cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Producing a thrilling 76.2 HP (56 kW) at 8500 rpm and 67 Nm of torque, this engine offers massive mid-range punch for overtaking on highways or powering out of gravel corners. It features a slipper clutch for a lighter lever feel and smoother downshifts.

Premium Off-Road Suspension

The 800 Trail is built to handle the hits. It features massive 50mm Marzocchi upside-down forks that are fully adjustable (rebound, compression, and preload). The rear is handled by a central monoshock, also adjustable. With increased suspension travel (140mm), this bike floats over rough terrain that would rattle lesser scramblers.

Superbike-Level Braking

Stopping power is supplied by the best in the business. The front end boasts dual 320mm semi-floating discs gripped by Brembo radial-mount monobloc callipers. This setup provides incredible bite and feedback, ensuring safety on wet roads and control on loose dirt.
