The Hindu
Benelli India hikes prices across its entire line-up in India by ₹ 2,201 and ₹ 27,000. The bike maker’s portfolio in the country currently includes the likes of the TRK502 range, Imperiale 400, 502C, Leoncino 500 and TRK251
The price of TRK 502 and TRK 502 X motorcycles in India goes up by ₹ 16,000 each. The TRK502 now costs ₹ 5.11 lakh, while the TRK 502X costs ₹ 5.55 lakh. The road-biased TRK 502 features alloy wheels and road-biased tires, while its adventurous twin, the 502X, comes with more off-road-oriented wire-spoke wheels.
The Leoncino 500 prices get hiked by ₹ 27,000, with the range now starting at ₹ 4.96 lakh, compared to the previous ₹ 4.69 lakh. The 502C, the cruiser in the Benelli range, gets a hike of ₹ 5,000 and the range now starts from ₹ 5.25 lakh, compared to the previous ₹ 5.20 lakh.
The 502 twins, 502C cruiser, and the Leoncino 500 scrambler, both come with the same 499.6cc, parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine producing 47.5hp at 8,500rpm and 46Nm of torque at 6,000rpm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The Imperiale, Benelli’s retro roadster model that squares up against the Royal Enfield Classic 350, gets a price hike of ₹ 2,201, which brings its current prices to ₹ 1.92 lakh. Last, the recently launched TRK 251 gets dearer by ₹ 3,000, taking its price to ₹ 2.54 lakh from the previous ₹ 2.51 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).
The revision of price by Benelli has not resulted in any change in specification or addition in terms of fitment, and the bikes remain largely the same.

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
