Benelli 502C Review (Baujahr 2022)

Test of the Italo A2 cruiser for less than 6,000 euros

The Benelli 502C looks very similar to a Ducati Diavel. This is certainly no coincidence and at the same time a compliment, because the A2 cruiser from Pesaro actually looks great. Whether the first good impression is confirmed while driving, Markus and Dietmar have checked.

Black Beauty

The Benelli 502 C, which has been available since 2019, costs only 6,000 euros. The machine was developed and designed in Italy and is manufactured in China, otherwise this price would hardly be conceivable. If you think that the 502C is an economy pack, we can reassure you: Nothing here seems cheap or cobbled together in a hurry. They are only available in one color: matt black, which fits perfectly with this type of motorcycle for our taste. There are some nice details such as the short rear, the double tube that seems to have been sawn off, a beautiful matt black tubular frame and the license plate holder attached to the axle. The Italians really know how to design!

Dimensions and seat ergonomics of the Benelli 502C
The dimensions of the data sheet also confirm the first visual impression. This machine not only looks powerful, it is actually very large: length 2.24m and wheelbase 1.58m - a Ducati Diavel is not much bigger. The seat height is 795mm, which is rather high for a cruiser. The handlebars are ultra-wide and the footpegs are placed far forward. All this results in a typical cruiser sitting posture that invites you to glide along casually. You actually want to start rolling right away.

That's what it's like to sit on the Benelli 502 C - casual cruiser style.
