The bike certainly certainly isn’t as small as it looks in the photos. But if you were expecting it to have that ‘big bike’ feel that Benellis are known for, you might be a bit disappointed. That said, it does have some typically Benelli-style oversized components such as the massive 50mm front fork (the same size as that from a Ducati Diavel), a superbike-rivalling 120-section front tyre, and huge 320mm twin front disc brake rotors. Aside from those bits, the Leoncino does feel like a compact motorcycle that’s inviting to short riders as well, thanks to its seat height of just 785mm. The seat itself is quite wide and can accommodate larger riders well too, although the seat does feel a bit on the stiffer side. But since this seat tapers down towards the front and the bike is quite narrow too, straddling it is a very simple affair. The riding position is very upright, thanks to its tall and very wide bars, and should appeal to a wide gamut of riders. So even though you’re seated quite low, the riding position feels commanding, and rather different from other motorcycles you might have ridden. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
