The Benelli 302S is a friendly yet fully capable naked motorcycle taking on the role of a just-jump-on-and-ride everyday machine. It’s powered by a 300cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel twin with four valves per cylinder, fed by EFI. Bore and stroke is 65x45.2 mm, and the compression ratio is 12:1, providing peak power of 38 hp at 11,000 rpm, with max torque at 18.9 ft. lbs. at 9750 rpm. Final drive is through a six-speed transmission and chain.
The 302S has a steel-trellis chassis mated to 41 mm inverted fork legs providing 5.3-inches (135 mm) of travel. The rear suspension has a right-side-mounted, linkage-free, single shock with preload and rebound damping adjustability. Braking is performed by dual floating petal-cut rotors with four-piston calipers and stainless, braided brake lines and a single rotor out back.
The LCD digital display features an analogue tachometer showing the sweep of rpms, clock, speedometer, gear selection, odometers, fuel level, and temperature gauge. All lighting is LED, from the multi-beam headlight to the blinkers. Available in Flash Green, Red, and Black. MSRP is $4,899.
