The Leoncino 500 revived a historic Benelli name as a scrambler-style roadster from the company's Chinese-owned era. It pairs a 500 cc liquid-cooled parallel twin with an exposed steel trellis frame, round LED headlight and a lion badge on the front mudguard. The upright riding position and good low-rev pull aim it at city and mid-range everyday use.
