Rider Profile

Best For	Well suited to newer riders and those moving up from smaller bikes thanks to its modest power and manageable weight.
Purpose	Designed primarily as a stylish, retro-inspired urban roadster for commuting and weekend fun rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	A relatively light and low-slung machine that most riders will find easy to handle at a stop and manage in traffic.
Character	A characterful neo-retro middleweight that blends scrambler styling with everyday practicality and a punchy twin-cylinder engine.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or high-speed track performance.

Units

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Benelli Leoncino 500, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
