00:00Guten Morgen, alle anderen, und willkommen zu EICMA.
00:05Willkommen zu der Benelli-Stand und zu unserer offizielle Presse-Konferenz.
00:11Ich bin Roberto Vitali, Benelli-Sales-, Marketing- und Kommunikation-Direktor.
00:17At Benelli, wir glauben, dass Motorcycling eine Erfahrung ist, die jeder kann.
00:24Unsere Mission ist es, die heute Morgen, die Motorcyclisten, zu machen, dankz zu unseren schönsten und akzeptierten Motorcycles.
00:35Die Schönheit gehört zu allen.
00:38Das ist, in diesem Fall, die wir benutzen, um ein paar Monate vorzunehmen, unseren Flagship-Modell, der TRK902.
00:47Beautiful, fully equipped and accessible, TRK902 represents Benelli's values and experience
00:56and has already become the best-selling motorcycle in Italy during its first months on the market.
01:04But, before moving on to our new models, I'd like to focus on something that, although intangible,
01:12has great value for a brand like Benelli, whose history and identity have always been at the heart of its
01:22success.
01:23Our logo. Benelli is entering a new phase with new energy, new projects and a new vision.
01:33That's why unveiling our new logo and visual identity here at ECMA is particularly meaningful for us.
01:42And so, here it is, our new visual identity.
02:28Our new logo.
02:31So, this is the result of extensive research into Benelli's history carried out by our Centro Stile in Pesaro.
02:40It introduces a modern, clean and recognizable design while preserving our most iconic symbols.
02:48A new identity that celebrates our heritage and looks to the future.
02:57But now, let's get back to motorcycles with a quick look at the models receiving updates for 2027.
03:06TRK702 and TRK702X, two key models behind Benelli's recent commercial success.
03:14For 2027, they receive new colors, new graphics, and the richer technology package.
03:22Then, the BKX family introduces a new modern, five-inch TFD dashboard across the range.
03:29And there, the Leoncino Bobber 400 with, for the first time on a Benelli, the new AMT, automated manual transmission.
03:40A system that allows riders to change gears automatically or manually using controls on the handlebar.
03:47And here, in front of us, we have two motorcycles marking our return to the Sport Naked segment.
03:55First of all, the new Tornado Naked 1-2-5 that we are now discovering in the center of the
04:02stand
04:02makes its world premiere, bringing Benelli's Sport Naked identity to the increasingly important 1-2-5-CC market.
04:12Dynamic, sporty, young, and so Benelli.
04:17And next to it, the Tornado Naked Twin 550 in its final production version that will reach dealership in early
04:272027.
04:29We'll return to these two models shortly since they are part of a bigger project.
04:35But now, it's time to unveil the main Benelli novelties at ECMA 2026.
04:41And to do that, I'd like to invite our Technical Director, Marco Bellucci, to join me on the stage.
04:51Good morning, welcome.
04:54Marco, thanks for joining us.
04:56And it's immediately time to unveil our first new motorcycle.
05:02So, let's roll the video.
05:15And it's time to unveil our first new motorcycle.
05:20And it's time to unveil our first new motorcycle.

05:31And it's time to unveil our first new motorcycle.
05:53Ladies and gentlemen, the new TRK-602X
06:06After last year's preview, today we present in the final production version, ready to
06:13hit European roads at the beginning of the season 2027.
06:18The TRK-602X takes the legacy of the TRK-502, a true sales champion, and brings it to a
06:27new level.
06:28Its design is completely renewed with slimmer, cleaner lines while keeping the generous
06:36proportion, wind protection, and riding comfort that made all the TRK family successful.
06:43But the evolution goes far beyond the design.
06:48So, Marco, it's now your turn.
06:51What are the main technical improvements from the engine to the chassis and electronics?
06:56The motorcycle takes the DNA from the original TRK-500, but with the new engine, 550 cc, we
07:04have more torque and stronger performance.
07:07The standard motorcycle will be sold with 48 HP, with the possibility to increase to 56 HP.
07:18The updated chassis and suspension improve the handling, while the lower seat, that is 825,
07:25makes the motorcycle more accessible.
07:27We also have a 5-inch TFT, with the possibility to connect to the mobile phone for incoming message,
07:35incoming call.
07:36We have also two riding modes, and the traction control, and the navigation.
07:42Thank you, Marco.
07:43Perfect explanation.
07:45But now, let's move to the other side of the stage for a Benelli World Premiere, a preview
07:51of a model that will play an important role in Benelli's future.
07:56But I don't want to reveal too much.
07:59Once again, let's let the images speak.
08:26Let's mix the weight of the power Veil.
08:26Oh my 我怕 will.
08:41What is your cursor?
08:42This is your cursor guard.
08:43It must be an cursor in the position of a an passenger.
08:44Just remembering.
08:44And after you say...
08:44This is the pin, this mes patriot before you say...
08:45There where it was.
08:45This is what I'm series saying.
08:48horrible embarrassing serialization.
09:00The Tornado Naked Twin 700.
09:09A sharp machine, just like its unmistakable design.
09:15A strategic model to compete in one of the European most interesting segments.
09:23Mid-size sport naked motorcycle.
09:26But above all, a true Benelli bike that reflects our values and positioning.
09:33But today Benelli is not simply presenting a new motorcycle.
09:37We are introducing the complete Tornado Naked range.
09:41The 125 and the 550 will both hit the market in the first half of 2027.
09:50Tornado Naked Twin 700 will follow in the second part of the year.
09:56The 700 shares the distinctive design language of the 550.
10:01But introduced a dedicated chassis and an evolved version of the well-known twin-cylinder engine used on the TRK
10:11702.
10:12And we start from this.
10:14So Marco, how has this engine evolved and what improvements does it bring?
10:19The engine has been adapted to the character of a sporty naked motorcycle.
10:24Developed to deliver more power and more torque.
10:28With change to the intake and to the entire exhaust system and to the ECU.
10:34It offers stronger performance while maintaining the smooth accessible character typical of Benelli.
10:41Moreover, it is equipped with a ride-by-wire.
10:45And what makes the Tornado Naked Twin 700 special in terms of chassis and equipment?
10:51We have a dedicated chassis to match different performance of the motorcycle.
10:56On the front, we have a fully adjustable Marzocchi front fork.
11:00We have Brimbo calipers for the brakes.
11:03And in the final release, we will adopt an aluminum swingarm.
11:08We have also a TFT dashboard of 5-inch with cruise control, riding mode, quick shifter, heated grips and heated
11:17seats.
11:18So, thank you Marco. A complete package combining sportiness, technology and everyday usability.
11:26And now, for our final unveiling, it's time for a change on the stage.
11:32So, let's thank with an applause our technical director Marco Bellucci.
11:37Thank you. See you.
11:39And welcome to the director of Centro Steel Benelli, Stefano Casanova.
11:46Good morning everybody. Good morning Roberto. Thank you.
11:50Welcome, welcome Stefano.
11:51So, what we are about to discover here together is the result of the joint work of our Centro Steel
12:00and R&D teams in Pesaro.
12:02Beauty and performance come together.
12:05A true motorcycle laboratory showing what Benelli can achieve today and our ambitions for the future.
12:14I am sure you are all curious to see what's under the cover.
12:21So, Stefano, let's unveil it together.
12:41Ladies and gentlemen, Tornado Naked 3 is here.
12:50Stefano, it almost goes without saying, but we have here a motorcycle of an exceptional beauty.
12:58Not only in its lines, but also in its materials and technical solutions, starting with the heart of this motorcycle.
13:08The three-cylinder engine. An historic return for Benelli.
13:15Correct, Roberto. We have a compact new three-cylinder engine.
13:2056 kilograms, able to rev up to 14,000 RPM.
13:25And another major innovation, Stefano, is the frame.
13:29What makes this frame different?
13:32Yes, correct. As you can see here, we have a completely different architecture.
13:38We have, usually in the industry, when we talk about platform, we refer to a fixed frame that has been
13:45able to fix,
13:46has been able to fit several kinds of motorcycles, sport bikes, naked and crossover.
13:52But this means to face a big geometry compromise about dimension, angles, behavior.
13:57For this reason, we flipped this logic. The structure is composed by three independent modules, front end, rear end and
14:05central bridge,
14:06that allow us to adapt the frame to the bike we need.
14:10And the exhaust is often one of the most distinctive elements of a motorcycle.
14:16Yes.
14:16And on this concept, it is even more important.
14:20Yes.
14:20Stefano, can you tell us why?
14:21We have extreme integration. The exhaust system is completely embedded into the carbon frame.
14:28So, we have a functional component, which becomes also a dominant aesthetic element.
14:34And so, moving from the rear to the front, let's talk about one of the most visible elements for the
14:41rider, the dashboard.
14:42Yes.
14:44We use the technology to minimize and simplify. We have a high resolution dashboard integrated into the upper clamp and
14:51just keep us focused on riding.
14:54And here, just upon our DRL, the signature of the naked family, I see a small windshield with a hole.
15:02What is this exactly?
15:03Correct, Roberto. It is designed to be as a small windshield, but actually, it is a Raymer duct that boosts
15:10our engine directly.
15:13And keep us, once again, here, as in the back, we have aesthetic and performance are the same thing.
15:21And finally, let's talk about one of the most distinctive and surprising feature of the Tornado Naked 3.
15:29These wings. Stefano, please.
15:33Yes. Usually, aerodynamics often burdens the design with massive intrusive devices.
15:39So, for that reason, we develop a retractable winglet that deploys when the downforce is required in the front end
15:50and just close back when they are not needed, keeping the line of the motorcycle pure and clean.
15:56So, here it is happening something very interesting. So impressive, Stefano. Thanks. Thanks a lot for presenting us the first
16:06concept bike in Benelli's recent history.
16:09A technologically advanced motorcycle that looks like it comes from the future, but shows clearly what Benelli is capable of
16:19today.
16:20Before we finish, a quick reminder. The press kit is available through the QR code just behind me.
16:28Simply scan it and access to the content using the username and password.
16:33You can also collect a press kit card at our reception desk.
16:38Coming to the end, I'd like to thank all my colleagues for the hard job we have done together.
16:45And thank you all for your attention and for joining us today.
16:50We look forward to welcoming you to our brand new stand, Trugu, this fantastic ECMA Week.
16:57Thank you. Grazie. Grazie a tutti.
16:59Grazie a tutti.
