Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer and intermediate riders thanks to its modest power delivery and forgiving, predictable manners.
PurposeDesigned as an affordable, road-biased adventure-style all-rounder for commuting, weekend rides, and light touring rather than serious off-roading.
Rider FitA tall but manageable seat height and moderate 210kg dry weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may need to plan carefully at stops, though the wide bars and upright stance ease handling once moving.
CharacterA friendly, unintimidating twin that prioritizes comfort and everyday usability over outright performance or sharp cornering ability.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking high-speed thrills, serious off-road capability, or track-focused cornering precision.

2017 Benelli TRK 502 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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 TRK 502, 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.
