Adventure-Ready at First Glance
With its tall stance, chunky bodywork, and aggressive lines, the TRK 502X continues to ooze that big-bike ADV presence that fans have always admired. But a closer look reveals some thoughtful enhancements. The white and green colourways complement the rugged silhouette, and the newly introduced Yellow Limited Edition with golden spoke wheels is a head-turner for sure - built for those who want to stand out on the trails and on the streets.
Upgraded Cockpit: Modern & Functional
The rider's point of view sees the biggest transformation. Gone is the dated LCD unit - in comes a crisp 5-inch TFT display that not only looks premium but brings with it integrated navigation, offline maps, screen mirroring, and a track-back function. The interface feels smooth, intuitive, and is a major step up in both aesthetics and utility.
Add to that the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) and you now have a screen that not only informs but actively enhances ride safety. These upgrades bring the TRK closer to the tech-rich segment leaders without losing its old-school ADV charm.
Comfort in Every Climate
Whether you are slicing through chilly mountain passes or dealing with early morning winter commutes, the heated seat and grips ensure you are not freezing your way through the ride. They're neatly integrated, don't stick out visually, and work without fuss - a welcome addition that reflects Benelli's increased focus on rider experience.
Subtle but Effective Hardware Tweaks
While the basic frame and layout remain familiar, there are notable tweaks underneath. The aluminium swingarm has been reworked - slightly lighter and tuned for better weight distribution and agility. The introduction of a slipper clutchensures downshifts are smoother, especially while cornering or descending tricky slopes.
You will also notice new hand guards and a beefed-up engine bash plate, adding both form and function. The spoked wheels are now tubeless, a significant convenience for any long-distance tourer dealing with unpredictable road conditions.
Riding Dynamics: What Hasn't Changed
Despite these improvements, the heart of the bike remains the same. It continues to be powered by the 500cc, twin-cylinder engine that delivers just under 47bhp and 46Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. Its a proven setup, smooth and reliable for most touring needs, but some might have expected a power bump or a newer engine platform, especially since Benelli showcased the next-gen TRK 552 globally.
That said, the 20-litre fuel tank, dual-disc front brakes, USD forks, and monoshock rear ensure the bike's touring credibility stays intact.
Visual Appeal
The 502X still demands attention wherever it goes. With redesigned fairings, bold decals, and a more refined stance thanks to adjustable handlebars and revised ergonomics, it looks more in tune with modern ADVs. The Limited Edition variant, especially, feels like the visual flagship of the range.
Worth the Price?
At Rs. 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom), and Rs. 6.85 lakh for the Limited Edition, the 2025 TRK 502X does come at a premium. But what you get in return is a blend of rugged looks, comfort-focused upgrades, and adventure-readiness. It may not be a full-blown next-gen update, but visually and functionally, its a refined and more confident version of an already capable motorcycle.

Verdict
This is not a radical departure, but a thoughtful evolution - one that keeps the spirit of the original intact while subtly turning the TRK 502X into a more serious contender in the ADV segment.
