Benelli presented the TRK 800, a brand new adventure bike from the manufacturer based in Pesaro, at EICMA 2022.
The design of the TRK 800 features plenty of aggressive lines, keeping the family feeling of the TRK range, the 800 builds on the look already established with the 502. Elements such as the front end and the front mudguard are more tapered and dynamic, the double-arched headlights are changed to be full LED with DRLs.
The 754cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine is liquid cooled and is the same as the one mounted on Leoncino 800, with 76.2hp(56 kW)@8500rpm and67Nm@6500rpm, in order to ensure pure fun and performance in any conditions. The head is sorted by dual-overhead cams with four valves per cylinder and a 43mm diameter dual throttle body. The torque-assisted wet slipper clutch and 6-speed gearbox are also worth mentioning.
The chassis is based on a tubular trellis frame with a high-strength steel plates, designed to ensure maximum agility and comfort in all conditions. Benelli say the bike’s ergonomics have been carefully considered to easily accommodate both rider and passenger even with side and top cases, ensuring a comfortable, intuitive riding position.
The suspension looks awesome thanks to a Marzocchi upside-down fork with 50mm legs – adjustable in rebound, compression and spring preload – and 170mm travel.

On the back an aluminium swingarm with central monoshock, adjustable spring preload and hydraulic rebound damping, with 171mm of travel at the wheel.
Great care has been taken with the front protection thanks to a large adjustable fairing, hand guards and baffles. Benelli say that attention was also paid to comfort, thanks to a slim, spacious seat, the comfortable, sturdy crown passenger grab handles and standard central stand. Generous fuel tank capacity of 21 litres. The TRK 800 also features an easy-to-use, intuitive dashboard, equipped with a high resolution 7in colour TFT display.
The performance of the Brembo braking system is ensured by the double 320mm diameter semi-floating discs on the front and four-piston calliper, and a 260mm diameter disc on the back with a single-piston calliper. The 19in front and 17in rear aluminium alloy rims respectively mount 110/80-19 and 150/70-17 tyres.
