Benelli has updated its mid-size adventure tourer, the TRK 502X, for 2025 in India. The motorcycle now comes with a host of feature additions and small mechanical tweaks aimed at improving comfort, convenience, and long-distance usability. However, these changes come with a price hike. Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and whether the 2025 TRK 502X is a more attractive proposition than before.
Features
One of the most noticeable updates on the 2025 TRK 502X is the brand-new five-inch TFT display. This replaces the outdated LCD console and brings the motorcycle’s cockpit in line with modern touring expectations. The new screen supports:
- Integrated turn-by-turn navigation
- Offline maps
- Smartphone connectivity
- Screen mirroring
- Track-back navigation
Another big upgrade is the addition of TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). This safety-focused feature alerts the rider in case of pressure drops, which can be critical when covering long distances or riding over mixed terrain. It helps prevent poor handling, reduced fuel economy, and tyre damage.
Hardware
Benelli hasn’t stopped at cosmetic or digital upgrades. The 2025 model also gets several mechanical and comfort-related improvements. Heated grips and a heated seat have been introduced—ideal for touring in colder regions or riding early in the morning.
The bike now comes equipped with tubeless spoke wheels, which are a huge plus for adventure tourers. Tubeless tyres are easier to fix in remote areas, saving riders from potential roadside headaches. The swingarm has also been reworked for better handling and weight balance, while a slipper clutch has been added to smoothen aggressive downshifts and prevent wheel hop.
Additional hardware upgrades include:
- New hand guards
- Revised engine plate
These changes don’t just enhance protection but also add to the bike’s rugged appearance and touring durability.
Engine
Mechanically, the engine setup remains unchanged. The TRK 502X continues to use a 500cc parallel-twin, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that delivers 46.9bhp and 46Nm of torque. The motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox, and together with the new slipper clutch, it should offer a slightly more refined ride.
Here’s a quick overview of the engine and core specifications:
| Engine Type | Displacement | Power | Torque | Gearbox | Fuel Tank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DOHC, Twin-Cylinder | 500cc | 46.9 bhp | 46 Nm | 6-speed | 20 litres |
The large 20-litre fuel tank ensures long touring ranges, while suspension duties are handled by USD forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking is managed by dual discs at the front and a single rear disc, assisted by dual-channel ABS.
Price and Colours
The updates do come at a cost. The new TRK 502X is now priced at Rs. 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom), which is Rs. 35,000 more than the outgoing model. This price applies to the standard white and green colour options. For those wanting a bit more exclusivity, Benelli is offering a limited edition yellow paint scheme, priced at Rs. 6.85 lakh (ex-showroom).
| Variant Colour | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| White / Green | Rs. 6.70 lakh |
| Yellow (Limited Edition) | Rs. 6.85 lakh |
Despite the hike, the added features, safety enhancements, and convenience upgrades make the 2025 TRK 502X a stronger competitor in the mid-size ADV segment.
