About the Benelli Leoncino 500
Benelli’s Leoncino 500 arrives in Nepal as a premium, style-led middleweight motorcycle. It will appeal to car buyers looking for something more emotional and exclusive than an entry SUV. With a 500cc twin-cylinder engine, international-brand cachet and pricing at Rs 13,00,000 ex-showroom, it sits in the aspirational bracket where buying decisions are as much about lifestyle and image as raw numbers. It targets urban professionals and enthusiasts who want a distinctive weekend machine that can still cope with Kathmandu traffic and occasional highway runs on Nepali roads.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 18 Jul 2026.
Design & styling
In its current form, the Leoncino 500 sold in Nepal is a retro-modern scrambler-inspired motorcycle. It blends classic silhouettes with clean, contemporary lines. The round LED headlamp, minimalist tail section and compact fuel tank create a tighter, more European look than most mainstream commuter bikes. That gives it a strong visual presence in city traffic. Details like the sculpted seat, 17‑inch alloy wheels and the signature "Leoncino" badge reinforce that this is the top variant. The focus is design as much as performance. For a car buyer used to SUVs and crossovers, the Leoncino 500 feels like the two-wheeled equivalent of a stylish premium crossover. It is not a basic utility motorcycle.
Engine & performance
The Leoncino 500 for Nepal uses a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 500cc parallel-twin engine, paired with a 6‑speed gearbox. Power delivery is smooth and predictable for both city and highway use. Output is in the mid‑40s horsepower range with torque also in the mid‑40s Nm band. That keeps performance brisk without being intimidating. The twin-cylinder layout offers refinement and a richer exhaust note than typical single-cylinder Nepali bikes in this price band. It also feels more relaxed at higher cruising speeds on stretches like Kathmandu–Pokhara. In practice, the Leoncino feels torquey enough for inclines and mixed road surfaces. It stays manageable in stop‑go traffic, provided the rider respects its higher power compared to commuter machines.

“The Benelli Leoncino 500 combines classic style with modern performance. Its retro design appeals to riders looking for a distinctive look, while its 500cc parallel-twin engine delivers a balanced blend of power and efficiency.”
“I have been using leoncino500 for the past 3 years and drove 10k +kms. Very good bike in the 6L range.. with 500cc non-Indian brand. Good design and a less fiber body. The bike body is strong and you feel heavy, but while riding you won't feel any weight.”
