New arrivals

Special editions seem to be the flavour of the festive season

BENELLI LEONCINO 250

After the Leoncino 500, Benelli has launched a 250cc variant of its neo-retro scrambler. In fact, the Leoncino 250 is the most affordable Benelli in India today. It gets a 249cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that was first seen on the now defunct TnT 250. It makes a healthy 25bhp and 21Nm and should make for a sprightly experience, considering the Leoncino 250 weighs just 162kg. The 250 gets a dual-tone paint scheme and a new cluster. The seat height is more than the 500 as well. Benelli has gotten rid of one front disc and the monoshock isn’t remotely adjustable as well. But we think the 250 will still be able to hold its own. Review? Coming soon!

BMW R 1250 RT

BMW’s flagship tourer received the 1250 boxer treatment last year and India will finally get a taste of it. First seen on the R 1250 GS, the 1254cc air/liquid-cooled motor gets VVT as well. The Touring package also gets you electronic suspension, heated seats, audio system and keyless ride. The R doesn’t skimp on electronics bringing you a coloured infotainment system as well.
