Expert opinion and recommendation

The Benelli Leoncino 250 is a mixed bag that appeals to those looking for a unique, retro-styled motorcycle with a scrambler aesthetic. While it offers a punchy 249cc single-cylinder engine that delivers 26 PS of power and 21 Nm of torque, the riding experience is somewhat marred by its ergonomics. The aggressively rear-set foot pegs and a narrow seat can make for a cramped riding position, especially for pillions. However, the bikes firm suspension, premium Metzeler M5 tyres, and a bassy exhaust note are definite positives. The price, however, is a significant drawback, placing it in competition with more accomplished machines like the KTM 390 Duke and Honda CB300R. If Benelli can adjust the pricing, the Leoncino 250 could be a compelling alternative for those seeking a quirky, stylish ride.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

The Benelli Leoncino 250 is expected to launch in India in February 2025, with a price tag of around Rs 3.00 lakh to Rs 3.25 lakh. This cafe racer will compete with bikes like the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. I think the pricing is competitive, but well have to wait and see how it performs in the market.
November 19, 2024
Benelli has confirmed that the Leoncino 250 will feature a 249.4cc, water-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 26.82 HP at 10,500 rpm and 20.5 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm. The bike will also come with a 6-speed gearbox and dual-channel ABS. The design includes a new LED headlamp and a flat-ish saddle, giving it a sleek look.
October 25, 2024
The Benelli Leoncino 250 is set to be BS6-compliant, ensuring it meets Indias stringent emission norms. The bike will have a fuel tank capacity of 12.5 liters and a certified mileage of 24.4 kmpl. It also boasts a top speed of around 154 kmph. I believe the BS6 compliance is a significant step towards a cleaner environment.
September 30, 2024
Benelli has revealed that the Leoncino 250 will have a high-strength steel tube frame and suspension handled by upside-down forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock. This setup should provide a smooth and stable ride. The braking system includes a 280mm front disc and a 240mm rear rotor.
August 20, 2024
The Benelli Leoncino 250 is expected to be available in two color options: Silver and Pink. The bike features an all-LED lighting system and a fully digital instrument console, adding to its modern appeal. I think the color options are quite appealing and will attract a lot of young buyers.

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Benelli Leoncino 250 comes with an ex-showroom price tag of around Rs 2.5 lakh, which is notably higher than its direct competitors. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can easily cross Rs 3 lakh. This pricing puts the Leoncino 250 in a challenging position, as buyers can opt for more powerful and feature-rich motorcycles like the KTM 390 Duke or the Honda CB300R within a similar budget. The high price makes it a less attractive option for many potential buyers, despite its unique design and premium features.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The mileage of the Benelli Leoncino 250 is decent but not exceptional. Given its 249cc engine and the type of riding it is designed for, you can expect an average fuel efficiency of around 30-35 kml in city riding conditions. On the highway, this can improve to about 40 kml, depending on your riding style and the terrain. While these figures are not bad, they are not particularly impressive either, especially when compared to some of its competitors. However, the 12.5-liter fuel tank provides a reasonable range, making it suitable for both daily commuting and occasional long rides. ABOUT The Benelli Leoncino 250 is the smallest iteration of Benellis Scrambler line-up, designed to offer the same retro charm as its larger sibling, the Leoncino 500, but at a more affordable price. The bike features a 249cc single-cylinder engine, a 6-speed gearbox, and a steel tube trellis frame. It boasts a 41mm USD fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock, along with premium Metzeler M5 tyres. The design is striking, with a pill-shaped LED headlamp, a scooped seat, and a distinctive lion emblem on the front fender. The bike also comes with dual-channel ABS and a bright LED headlight. While it is not ideal for off-road adventures despite its scrambler styling, it handles well on paved roads and offers a unique riding experience. However, the ergonomics and higher maintenance costs are aspects that potential buyers should carefully consider.
