Italian motorcycle maker Benelli had earlier introduced the Benelli TRK 502 and 502X bikes in February 2019. The company revamped its Indian operations in partnership with the Mahavir Group. The Benelli TRK 502 range of motorcycles was the first to come from their stable.

While the Leoncino has been shown in three variants – the standard, Trail and Sport – India is initially only expected to get the standard variant. However, Benelli India has said that it will consider bringing the Trail variant to the country based on the feedback from the market.

The Benelli TRK 502 and TRK 502X were perhaps the most affordable ADVS in the 500cc twin-cylinder mid-range segment. Benelli Leoncino 500's price is expected to be lower than the TRK 502 (Rs 5.10 lakh) and TRK 502X (Rs 5.50 lakh). In USA, the Benelli Leoncino 500 cost Rs 6.3 lakh. However, in India we expect the Benelli Leoncino 500's price to be cheaper and around Rs 4.5 lakh.
