Benelli Tornado 252R Launched in China

BENELLI HAVE LAUNCHED THE 2021 ITERATION OF THEIR QUARTERlitre sport bike in the Chinese market. The 252R is powered by a 249-cc parallel twin that turns out 26 hp and 24 Nm of torque and the motorcycle is wrapped in attractive bodywork with a fair share of cuts and creases worked into the new design. Although it boasts of proper big-bike looks and is endowed with a USD fork, slipper clutch, adjustable levers, and more, its accessible 785-millimetre seat height means that beginner riders will not be intimidated. Benelli may consider bringing this to India; however, we think it’s more likely that we’ll see the 302R here instead, since that would be a better fit for our market.
