The Benelli TRK 502 is a 500 cc offering and we expect it to be priced in the range of Rs. 5-6 lakh (ex-showroom). The TRK 502 will be offered in two variants - Standard - which will be the road biased version with alloy wheels and road spec tyres, while there is also the TRK 502 X that is the off-road spec version and comes with spoked wheels, dual purpose tyres and a longer travel rear suspension. While the TRK 502 will be more affordable, the X variant is likely to be around Rs. 25,000-30,000 more expensive.
