About the Benelli Leoncino 250
Benelli’s Leoncino 250 is a compact, neo-retro motorcycle that aims to offer big-bike character in a more accessible, quarter-litre package for Nepali riders. With distinctive scrambler-inspired styling, a modern liquid-cooled engine and ABS-equipped disc brakes at both ends, it is positioned as an urban style statement that can still cope with Nepal’s mixed road conditions. Benelli has listed the Leoncino 250 for Nepal, but the model is not yet on sale and pricing has not been announced at the time of writing.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 08 Sept 2026.
Design & styling
In its top Leoncino 250 variant, this motorcycle leans heavily on classic scrambler cues blended with modern detailing, which should appeal to Nepali car buyers looking at two-wheelers as lifestyle accessories rather than just commuting tools. The round LED headlamp, sculpted fuel tank and compact tail give it a premium, European-inspired look, while the upright stance and relatively generous ground clearance make it visually suited to our broken city roads and occasional gravel shortcuts. The steel tube frame and exposed mechanicals add a rugged, mechanical character that many enthusiasts favour over fully faired sport bikes in this segment. Overall, it comes across as a motorcycle that would look at home parked next to a mid-size SUV, projecting a similar mix of toughness and urban sophistication.
Engine & performance
The Leoncino 250 uses a modern, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve DOHC engine of around 250 cc, tuned to deliver its power higher up in the rev range, which should translate into a willing, free-revving feel when pushed on open stretches. International specifications indicate output in the mid‑20 hp bracket with torque in the low‑20 Nm range, figures that place it broadly in line with other 250 cc premium motorcycles and suggest enough performance for confident highway cruising between major Nepali cities, provided the rider is comfortable sustaining higher revs. A six-speed gearbox and chain drive are standard on this top variant, giving flexibility for both slow, traffic-heavy sections and faster intercity runs. Given this configuration, buyers can reasonably expect performance that is more engaging than a basic commuter while still manageable for those upgrading from 150–160 cc machines.

- Benelli Nepal has an authorized service presence in Kathmandu, which supports after-sales confidence for some buyers.
- Spare parts available on Daraz but OEM ones costly

Owners in India have lived with this for 6 years 9 months
The Benelli Leoncino 250 has been on sale in India longer than in Nepal, so owners there have answered questions Nepali owners are only starting to. This sits alongside the Nepali sentiment above — it does not replace it. It is sold there as the Benelli Leoncino 250.
- Indian reviews consistently describe the Leoncino 250 as a 249–250cc single‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled engine with around 25–26 hp and 21 Nm, 6‑speed gearbox and standard ABS; if the Nepal version uses the same engine and frame but differs in tyres, suspension tuning or equipment packages, owner feedback related to those differing parts (for example, braking feel with different discs or ABS calibration) may not fully carry over.
Resale value, service and spare-part costs, warranty terms and charging coverage are set by each market — different duty, different dealer networks, a different used-car market. Read these as context on the vehicle's reputation, never as figures for Nepal.
- Indian reviewers repeatedly note the Leoncino 250 is considered far too expensive relative to rivals in India, but this price judgement is specific to the Indian market and does not apply to Nepal.
- One Indian owner complains that service costs are unnecessarily high, which reflects local labour rates, dealer policies and taxation rather than the inherent vehicle design.
- Comments about resale value and difficulty recommending the bike due to price are tied to Indian buyer preferences and competition, and cannot be directly applied to Nepal.
- Service costs are reported to be high in India, which may not reflect service costs in Nepal.
- The Leoncino 250 is considered slightly pricey in the Indian market; pricing may differ in Nepal.
