Benelli 302R Review
Overview
Benelli 302R is a bike that begs to draw attention to itself with its powerful engine and captivating looks. The quality of the parts used on the bikes can be trusted beyond measure since the Benelli brand is quite revered and it has a reputation to uphold. The bike also has an efficient braking system, making it quite a value for money product. The only thing that sets this bike back is the limited outlets for the sales and service, but after the partnership between the brand and the Mahavir Group in India, it is expected that this would improve as well. This bike was the first fully faired motorcycle in the company’s lineup after they discontinued the Tornado 1130.
The Benelli 302R is powered by a 300cc inline 2-cylinder, 4-stroke, water cooled, 4 valves for cylinder, double overhead camshaft petrol engine that helps it to produce a maximum power of 38.26 bhp at 11,500 rpm and a peak torque of 26.5 Nm at 10,000 rpm. This engine is connected to a six speed manual transmission, allowing the bike to achieve a top speed of more than 170 kmph and a mileage of around 25-30 kmpl.
The bike is built around a steel trestle and steel tubes and has an exhaust with catalytic converter and oxygen sensors. The instrument panel is all digital except the tachometer which is analogue. The various indicators on the bike help the rider know the vital information about the bike. The bike is supported on 17-inch alloy wheels on both sides and the suspension duties on it are handled by 41mm upside down forks at the front and a hydraulic monoshock absorber at the rear. There are double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear along with 2-channel ABS.
