Benelli has officially unveiled the 2020 model of the 302R fully-faired sports bike in China with a price tag of CNY 32,800 (INR 3.52 lakh, approximate, direct conversion). The updated version is expected to launch in the Indian markets by the end of this year. As expected, the MY2020 Benelli 302R has not been imparted with any major changes when compared to its last-gen version.
Apart from the new shades, the 2020 model features almost identical design language in comparison to the 2019 model. The sports bike is now available in four new colours: White with Green frame, Sports Red with Red frame, Space Blue with Neon Green frame, and Crystal Green with Silver frame.
