The motorcycle not only promises smooth performance, it also comes ensuring a superior quality riding experience. It is not sure if Benelli will bring this model here in India, but if it does, that would be the nicest thing from the Italian brand.

Speaking about its design, the 2018 Benelli 402S features a design that is very close to the Ducati XDiavel. If you look at the side profile, it looks like a modified XDiavel. However, the Benelli won’t leave you complaining as it bears the distinctiveness as well. The headlamp is certainly a Benelli thing as it bears resemblances with TNT 300, but with uniqueness.
