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.

  • 46.8 bhp twin-cylinder engine gives it strong listed output for weekend rides.
  • 810mm seat is lower than the listed rivals, helping shorter riders reach the ground.
  • Switchable ABS provides anti-lock braking assistance, with the option to turn it off.
  • 320mm front disc with a four-piston caliper provides substantial front braking hardware.
  • Adjustable rear preload lets riders tailor the suspension setting.
  • LED projector headlamp and LED lights provide modern lighting.

What we like

  • Lowest seat height among the listed rivals.
  • Strong power output, narrowly below the Brixton Crossfire 500 XC.
  • Disc brakes at both ends with switchable ABS.
  • Pillion seat has footrests and a grab rail.

What could be better

  • At 207kg, it is a heavy motorcycle to manoeuvre.
  • Its 12.7-litre tank is smaller than the Brixton Crossfire 500 XC and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 tanks.
  • No phone connectivity, navigation or USB charging.
  • Priced above the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC and BSA Scrambler 650.

Best for: Buy it if you want a powerful scrambler with a comparatively low seat and are comfortable with its weight and limited connectivity.
