DSK Benelli 302R to be launched on July 25th
DSK Benelli 302R should be priced between Rs 3.5 – 4 lakhs (ex-showroom, pan India).
The DSK Benelli 302R was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo and was supposed to be launched in India in 2016. However, after delays due to multiple reasons, Benelli is finally introducing the 302R on July 25, 2017. It is the first fully faired motorcycle from Benelli in India and would have been launched earlier if the BS-IV emission norms hadn't been rolled out. Moreover, the delay was further stretched as the bikemaker decided to launch it with ABS.
The 302R shall be powered by the same four-stroke, in-line two-cylinder, 300cc motor that powers the TNT 300, producing more or less the same power and torque output.
The 302R also features a similar brake setup up front and rear, and while the front suspension would be similar to the one on the naked TNT 300, the rear will feature a mid-set monoshock linked to an all-new chassis, which has been designed from the ground up.
Once launched, the 302R will take on the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 300, KTM RC390 and DSK Hyosung GT250R.
Based on the equipment levels and the safety feature of ABS, we estimate that the DSK Benelli 302R should be priced between Rs 3.5 – 4 lakhs (ex-showroom, pan India).
