Benelli India has launched the Imperiale 400 in India for Rs 169,000. The retro-classic design and the pricing of the bike seems to place it directly against the Royal Enfield 350 series and Jawa motorcycles.
The Imperiale 400 gets an all-new 374cc, SOHC, single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled BS IV engine with electronic fuel injection. The engine develops 21hp at 5500rpm, with torque output of 29Nm at 4500rpm. The front gets a 41mm telescopic fork while the rear gets preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers.
To highlight the reto look, the bike gets chrome exhausts, round headlight and teardrop-shaped tank. Meeting modern safety norms, the classic bike features a 300mm disc on the front with a two-piston floating calliper and a 240mm disc with single-piston calliper at the rear, with dual-channel ABS.
Vikas Jhabakh, managing director, Benelli India, said, “We are delighted to launch a series of exciting models in the last two months in the Indian market, which clearly proves Benelli’s commitment to India.
