Motor Adventurer Morbidelli T502XR Model 2026 Presents Many Updates
JAKARTA Morbidelli has set up his newest adventurer motor, T502XR, to be released in the first half of 2026 in the Italian and Spanish markets. The model was developed as the successor to T502X with a significant increase in the suspension, feature and off-road sectors.
By design, T502XR appears with a body that is more aggressive and proportional than its predecessor. Front Fascia uses double LED lights with a flanked shape, combined with high windshields that provide better wind protection during long trips.
Area fairing is designed slimmer so that airflow to the engine remains optimal and makes it easier for motorists to move on heavy terrain. The side shows a firm body line with a ramp-shaped panel, asserting the character of the adventure.
The 18 liter fuel tank has a wide contour at the top but narrows down so that it is easier for motorists to maintain control when standing on the ground. At the bottom, there are larger engine protectors, providing additional protection from rocks and off-road barriers.
On the back, the stern design is made more compact with a two-level seat that maintains long-range ergonomics. Small LED back light and minimalist fender add to the modern impression.

Turning to the kitchen runway, T502XR carries a liquid-cooled twin-cylinder 486 cc engine which produces 46.3 bhp of power at 8,500 rpm and a 44.9 Nm torque at 6,750 rpm. The power is channeled through the transmission of six accelerations with a slipper coupling.
The total weight was recorded at 198 kilograms, as reported by Visordown, Monday, November 17. The manufacturer says the bike is designed for the use of 50 percent on-road and 50 percent off-road.
However, the combination of 21-inch and 18-inch front wheels makes off-road characters feel more dominant. Tireless rims are wrapped in CST tires with deep-tread patterns to increase traction in the ground field.
Suspensi also received a major revision, where the 41 mm upside down now has a 200 mm travel, an increase of 20 mm compared to the previous model. The back uses a Prolink monoshock with a 69 mm travel.
Ground clearance reaches 230 mm, while the seat height is at 860 mm, higher than T502X which is at 830 mm. The braking sector uses J.Juan components, with a floating disk of 320 mm and a calibration of four pistons in front and a disk of 240 mm and a Kaliper one piston behind.
The ABS Bosch system is available and can be disabled, including the rear ABS switching off option for offroad needs. In the feature section, T502XR is equipped with a 7-inch TFT screen with connectivity and navigation, seat heating and an electronics thrust.
There are four driving mode options, namely Standard, Rainy, Sport, and Offroad. The last mode is made to maximize control on slippery terrains and allow driving assistance settings separately.
This motorbike carries an 18 liter fuel tank, with tires measuring 90/90 Ring 21 up front and 140/70 Ring 18 behind. With a thorough update on aspects of ergonomics, suspension, and electronic features, the official launch of Morbidelli T502XR is planned next year along with price announcements.
