The Benelli TRK502 employs dual disc paired with 4-pot radial callipers for braking system. For smoke exhausting, the company chose a compact exhaust over a upswept exhaust which are considered one of the best arrangements for off road riding or water-logged roads. The compact exhaust ends behind the right foot peg which could look very organized and well ordered, however, it has it’s own drawback when riding off-road and on water-logged roads. Talking about the seating, the rider gets to sit at 800mm above the ground while the split-seat design allows the ‘pillion passenger’ sit above the rider’s seat for the clear front view from behind the rider.
Talking about the tyres, it features Pirelli touring tyres mounted on the 17-inch alloy wheels.
