Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer riders or those stepping up from a beginner machine who want a manageable, entry-level naked bike.
PurposeIt's built primarily for city commuting and everyday street riding rather than performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA low seat height and modest 196kg wet weight make it accessible and easy to manage for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a friendly, approachable naked-bike personality with enough parallel-twin character to feel engaging without being intimidating.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking high-speed touring capability, serious off-road use, or track-focused performance.

2020 Benelli BN 302 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 2020 Benelli BN 302, 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.
