We were impressed with that Benelli TRK502<\/a> and TRK502X<\/a> Adventure \/ Sport \/ Touring bikes that we tested this year. The two brothers had good performance and handling. However, they were also heavy and apparently overbuilt, so we wanted a larger engine in a heavy chassis. For 2022, Benelli is making one step better. The brand new 2022 Benelli TRK 800 has a bigger engine and fresh chassis with improved hardware. While it’s not yet confirmed for the United States, that doesn’t stop us from taking a closer look at this fascinating motorcycle.<\/p>\n

  1. Benelli motorcycles are built in Pesaro, Italy, as they have been for 110 years.<\/strong> The kicker is that the resulting motorcycles are made by. be built Qianjiang motorcycle<\/a> in Wenling on the Chinese Pacific coast, which Benelli owns and builds the engines. In turn, Qianjiang Motorcycle is owned by Geely<\/a>, which also owns several automobile brands including Volvo, Lotus and Smart. Geely’s annual sales are nearly $ 15 billion. International finance is fascinating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. The 754cc engine on the 2022 Benelli TRK 800 is completely new, although it has a familiar configuration. <\/strong>Benelli opted for a short-stroke design for the DOHC twin – the stroke is shorter than that of the 502 engines. The 75-horsepower peak comes in at 8500 RPM, with a maximum torque of 49 ft-lbs at 6500 RPM. A pair of 43mm throttle bodies power the liquid-cooled cylinders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. The six-speed gearbox is coupled with a clutch with assist and slipper functions. <\/strong>All that’s missing is a quickshifter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n
        1. The steel lattice frame uses an aluminum swing arm. <\/strong>The chassis has a spacious 60+ inch wheelbase, although we don’t have rake and trail numbers. The seat height of 32.8 inches corresponds to that of a Honda CB500X, making the TRK 800 accessible to a wide range of riders. However, it is still on the heavy side and weighs roughly the same as the BMW R 1250 GS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. The Marzocchi fork is an example of the beefy nature of the TRK 800.<\/strong> We liked the action and feel of the TRK502s 50mm fork, but not the weight. The 502 fork is non-adjustable, while the 800 is fully adjustable and named Marzocchi. The damper is self-supporting – no linkage – and the rebound damping and spring preload can be adjusted. The travel is a moderate 6.7 inches at both ends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              \n
            1. Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires signal that the 2022 Benelli TRK 800 has a legitimate interest in straying from the sidewalk. <\/strong>The wheels are wire spokes with aluminum rims, in an ADV standard 19\/17 inch tire combination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"2022<\/a><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Braking is serious, with radially mounted Brembo calipers and 320mm discs up front.<\/strong> The rear end also gets the Brembo treatment, along with a 260mm washer. ABS is standard; We don’t have any details on the off-road ABS modes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                1. The fuel tank holds nearly six gallons, and the 2022 Benelli TRK 800 is rated for over 50 mpg. <\/strong>In true adventure style, the 300 mile range knocks on the door between refueling sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                    \n
                  1. A seven-inch TFT dash greets the driver. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      \n
                    1. With the LED lighting giving the designers some freedom, the Italian styling is fantastic. <\/strong>The Chinese engine is optically the weak link, so it is blackened and remains inconspicuous to the colorful plastic and the rims. The finish on the TRK 800 looks amazing in the photos, but we need to reserve final judgment until we see one in person.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      1. Accessory side cases and a top case are available and fulfill the promise of the TRK 800 as an adventure tourer.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                          \n
                        1. The 2022 Benelli TRK 800 will only be seen in showrooms around the world in the second half of 2022. <\/strong>We hope that SSR Motorsports, the Benelli importer in the United States, will bring the TRK 800 as soon as possible. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
