Benelli Leoncino Overview
The Leoncino stands out for combining a low seat relative to its listed scrambler rivals with a strong 500cc twin-cylinder engine. Its 810mm seat is the lowest among them, which may make getting on and putting a foot down easier for shorter riders. The stepped pillion seat, grab rail and footrests provide a defined place for a passenger, while switchable ABS offers anti-lock braking assistance that can be turned off.
Its 207kg kerb weight is substantial, and the 12.7-litre tank is smaller than those of the Brixton Motorcycles Crossfire 500 XC and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. The Brixton is slightly more powerful and lighter, though its seat is higher. The Leoncino is priced above the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC and BSA Scrambler 650, and its console lacks phone connectivity and navigation. It suits buyers prioritising engine performance and a lower seat over light weight or connected features.
