Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders who have moved beyond a beginner bike but don't need a full-blown supernaked's power delivery.
PurposeA scrambler-styled naked bike built for everyday street riding with a dash of retro attitude rather than serious off-road or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height and moderate 212kg weight make it manageable for riders of average to taller height, though it's not the lightest bike to paddle around at a standstill.
CharacterCharismatic and stylish with classic scrambler looks, it delivers a torquey, approachable twin-cylinder power delivery suited to relaxed, confident riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking genuine off-road capability, high-speed track performance, or a dedicated long-haul touring companion.

2024 Benelli Leoncino 800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2024 Benelli Leoncino 800, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
