The fairing allows BN302 to have very sleek lines, for a feeling of great dynamism, even at the sight. Careful and elegant finishes and the light unit, classic and modern at the same time, complete a framework of absolute quality.
The frame is a steel trestle which, together with the size of the vehicle, provides the best manoeuvrability. The suspension system is entrusted to an inverted hydraulic damping shock absorber front fork ø 41mm and to a rear swingarm in steel pipes with rear shock absorber and spring preload adjustment.
The braking system of Benelli BN302 is of the high quality, to guarantee absolute safety in any condition: in front there is a twin disc of ø 260 mm, in the rear a single disc of ø 240 mm. The 17” aluminium alloy rims mount 120/70 and 160/60 tyres. The tank has a good 16 liters capacity.
