The Benelli TRK 502 lineup has been updated for 2025 without much fanfare, and while the prices of these bikes have gone up, the bikemaker has also added in some new features and made some changes to the hardware. The TRK 502 lineup consists of the regular TRK 502 and the TRK 502X.

2025 Benelli TRK 502 Lineup Launched; Details
There are not a lot of changes that have taken place, and hence that is where we shall focus first. Both bikes now come equipped with a new 5-inch TFT screen with bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, a tyre pressure monitoring system and adjustable brightness. Both bikes now also come with a lighter, aluminium swingarm, which should probably help negate some of the weight issues.
The TRK 502X continues with the 19-inch front and the 17-inch rear wheeel setup, along with the upswept exhaust system, considering its more hardcore, off-road focused nature. However, it now gets tubeless tyres with spoke rims. Meanwhile, the TRK 502 retains the 17-inch wheel setup and the underbelly exhaust system signifying its road-biased applications.

The TRK 502 and the TRK 502X remain unchanged in terms of design, but they may not very look familiar considering they aren't very commonly seen out on the road. They are also unchanged in terms of the powertrain, featuring the same 500cc, twin-cylinder mill, producing 46.9bhp at 8500rpm and 46Nm of torque at 6000rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
While the TRK 502 is priced at Rs 6.20 lakh, the TRK 502X can be had from Rs 6.70 lakh onwards. These bikes will go up against the Honda NX500 and the Kawasaki Versys 650 (all prices ex-showroom).

Verdict
Benelli may finally be starting its resurgence in the Indian market after having stayed silent for a long time. The TRK 502 and the TRK 502X have been the first of the lot to receive updates, and we suspect there must be more headed our way in the near future.
