Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and early-intermediate riders thanks to its approachable power delivery and manageable weight.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a fun, affordable urban and commuter naked bike rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light 185 kg weight make it easy to handle for riders of most sizes, including shorter riders.
CharacterA friendly, revvy little twin that rewards spirited riding in town and on twisty backroads without being intimidating.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting serious highway touring comfort, passenger-friendly range, or any off-road capability.

2019 Benelli 302 S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2019 Benelli 302 S, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
