Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior motorcycling experience who want a versatile, non-intimidating adventure-styled bike.
PurposeDesigned as a retro-styled scrambler/adventure crossover for mixed on-road riding with light gravel and trail capability rather than serious offroading.
Rider FitA tall-ish seat height and moderate 220 kg dry weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find low-speed handling and tip-toe stops a bit demanding.
CharacterOffers a characterful parallel-twin engine with modest but usable power delivery, favoring relaxed, engaging rides over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking serious off-road prowess, high-speed touring comfort, or track-focused sport performance.

2023 Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail ES Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 834mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2023 Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail ES, 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.
