Sinuous and at the same time sculpted line. Classic traits with current solutions. The new Benelli Leoncino 800 is the protagonist in a film proposed by Benelli on Youtube.

The specialised farming model

The style that recalls a tradition is embellished with connotative details. Sculpted and clear features with a characteristic arched element which can be found by looking at the LED front light unit and the sheet steel tank 15 liters. Also interesting is the symbolic Lion on the front mudguard, together with an aluminum side panel extending towards the tank, a Leoncino logo under the saddle, the design of the saddle designed for rider and passenger and an exhaust system characterized by balanced proportions.
The specimen is equipped with a TFT instrument panel with an equally modern and distinctive aesthetic.
