Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some prior experience who want a torquey, easygoing twin without extreme power to manage.
PurposeDesigned as a versatile scrambler-adventure crossover for mixed road riding with light off-road capability rather than serious dirt work.
Rider FitThe tall seat height and 224kg dry weight mean shorter or less confident riders may find it a handful at a standstill, though weight distribution helps once moving.
CharacterA characterful, retro-styled parallel-twin that favors relaxed, torquey delivery and all-round usability over outright speed or track focus.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road prowess, sportbike-level cornering performance, or a lightweight, low-seat commuter.

2020 Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 818mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail, 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.
