The engine is more powerful when compared to other machines owned by Qianjiang Motorcycle, which can blow 41.5 dk of power at 9,000 rpm.

The Tornado 402 chassis offers several interesting things, such as one-sided aluminum swingarms with lower beams, which perfectly highlight the design of the aluminum rear wheels.

The interesting feature that Benelli offers on this bike is a built-in dashboard camera. This dashboard camera is mounted on the windshield. The recording can be accessed via a device using the app and saved automatically. The camera not only records the journey, but also for safety and safety while driving on the highway.
