New Benelli TRK 702 Enjoying Successful Sales In Italy

Benelli, a motorcycle brand that is experiencing rapid growth, is part of the Qianjiang Group in China, with its origins tracing back to Italy. The company continuously introduces new models in the Chinese market, but one model has stood out in the global market, particularly in Italy: the new Benelli TRK702.

The Benelli TRK 702 has achieved an impressive milestone by registering over 1,000 motorcycles in the Italian market in just a little over a month since its debut. This success can be attributed to Benelli’s strategy of offering an affordable middleweight ADV at just 7,490 Euros (about $7,898 USD). This mirrors the approach that made its predecessor, the TRK 502 model, popular in the Italian ADV segment.

Speaking about the success of the new model, Gianni Monni, Benelli’s sales manager in Italy, stated, “We are proud of the extraordinary result that the new TRK 702 is obtaining on the Italian market, in just over a month more than a thousand examples have been registered and, if we consider that all this is happening at the end of the commercial season, the satisfaction is even bigger. In the coming months, we believe we can further increase this performance, not forgetting that all those who had the patience to wait for our model to arrive on the market are the true architects of this success.”

The Benelli TRK 702 features a 698cc parallel-twin engine with liquid-cooling and fuel-injection, offering impressive performance. It generates 75 horsepower at 8,750 rpm and 68.2 pound-feet of torque at 6,250 rpm.

The bike utilizes a frame design based on the smaller 502 model, incorporating a steel trellis structure that enhances stiffness and reduces weight for improved handling. Its suspension setup includes 50 mm inverted forks at the front with 5.5 inches of travel and a preload-adjustable mono-shock at the rear, offering 6.8 inches of travel for versatility across various terrains. Dual-channel ABS is equipped on the bike’s two 320 mm front disc brakes and a 260 mm rear disc brake, ensuring enhanced safety on the road.

New QJ Motor SRK 800 RR Sportbike Under Development In China

QJ Motor, a Chinese motorcycle company under the Qianjiang group, is known for its aggressive expansion in the motorcycle market. The brand has recently launched several models, particularly in the middleweight sportbike, naked, and adventure segments. It is evident that QJ Motor is determined to continue its growth.

In the United States, you may be familiar with Benelli, an Italian brand that is now owned by the same parent company as QJ Motor. With strong connections to automotive industry giants like Geely and Volvo, it is not surprising that QJ Motor is able to produce a large number of motorcycles. Continuing its focus on the middleweight sportbike segment, QJ Motor is developing a new model called the SRK 800 RR. Although this bike has not yet gone into production, multiple sources have confirmed that it is ready and will initially be available in China.

The SRK 800 RR builds upon QJ Motor’s existing SR models, such as the SRK 400 RR with a twin-cylinder engine and the SRK 600 RR with an inline-four engine. The SRK 800 RR introduces a brand-new engine with a displacement of 778cc and features an inline-four-cylinder configuration producing 102 horsepower. It is important to note that this bike is not intended to be a revival of the 750cc supersports category. Instead, its performance is similar to that of middleweight sport-touring motorcycles. The engine reportedly shares similarities with the Honda CBR650R, which is a common practice among Chinese manufacturers.

In terms of weight, the SRK 800 RR is not particularly lightweight, weighing in at 207 kilograms. It has the same wheelbase as the CBR650R, measuring 1,450 millimeters. The bike is equipped with inverted front forks, a rear monoshock, and dual disc brakes at the front with a single disc at the rear. Bosch ABS is expected to be standard. One distinguishing feature of the SRK 800 RR is its fairing-mounted winglets.
