JAKARTA - Two-wheeled vehicle brand from Italy, Benelli officially entered the bobber motorcycle segment by introducing all-new Leoncino Bobber 400.

The naming 'Leoncino' means 'silon cub' in Italian. In addition, this motorbike also takes a number of styling inspirations from its competitors such as Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycles.

Launching from Motorcyclenews, Tuesday, December 24, Leoncino has a filter water installed on the right side of a medium-sized Harley motorcycle that is now adopted by Benelli.

It is not explained from the function of the device, but there is a possibility that manufacturers use it as a practical way to reduce the complexity of caring for this motor. It is explained that filter water can be more accessible without the need to release a 15 liter fuel tank.

This motorbike was built in the framework of a steel doubles mount, combined with a steel swingarm arrangement as standard. Leoncino has a non-adjustable suspension unit with the back utilizing a double shock set-up and the front has a 35 mm inverse fork.

Benelli designed the motorbike with a seating height of 730 mm which is certainly quite friendly for motorists with various postures. What's more, the bobber weighs about 180 kg.

The manufacturer also designed this motorbike to focus its comfort on motorcyclists with a footrest pulled forward and lower bars on the front.

This retro-style motorbike carries an impressive 386.5 cc V-twin engine that has a standard of Euro5+ which is claimed to have 25 dk of power at 8,000 rpm and a peak torque of up to 36 Nm at 4,500 rpm.

Motorcyclists from the country of pizza have not announced the price of Leoncino Bobber 400, but the units will be available in 2025.
