Benelli TRK 552 and 552X Prices, Specs and Key Differences in India

Benelli’s TRK 552 range pairs a 554cc parallel-twin engine with touring equipment such as a TFT display, heated grips and a heated seat. The choice between the two main models comes down largely to where you expect to ride: the TRK 552 is set up for paved roads, while the TRK 552X adds a taller, more adventure-oriented wheel and tyre package.

Benelli India lists the TRK 552 at Rs 7.22 lakh, the TRK 552X at Rs 7.74 lakh and the TRK 552X Limited Edition at Rs 7.90 lakh. Those are ex-showroom prices in India. Bookings open on October 22, 2026, through authorised Benelli Keeway dealerships. The standard 552X costs Rs 52,000 more than the road-focused model; the Limited Edition adds another Rs 16,000 over the regular 552X.

One engine, shared touring equipment

All three versions use the same liquid-cooled, 554cc DOHC parallel-twin, rated at 52 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 49 Nm at 6,500 rpm. A six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch are standard. That shared specification means the price step between the TRK 552 and 552X buys a different chassis setup for varied terrain rather than a change in engine output.

The new bikes extend the touring approach of the TRK 502 and TRK 502X. Each has a tubular steel trellis frame, aluminium swingarm and 20-litre fuel tank. Benelli lists kerb weight at 235 kg for both models, a figure buyers will want to consider alongside the extra clearance and taller seat of the 552X when assessing low-speed handling and day-to-day use.

Suspension is shared: a 50 mm Marzocchi upside-down fork at the front and a rear monoshock with adjustable preload. Braking comes from twin 320 mm floating front discs and a 260 mm rear disc, with Bosch dual-channel ABS fitted to both. The common hardware gives the pair a similar foundation for touring, while their wheels and dimensions set their intended routes apart.

Road wheels or more clearance

The TRK 552 uses 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels at both ends. Pirelli tyres measure 120/70ZR17 at the front and 160/60ZR17 at the rear. Its ground clearance is 190 mm and seat height is 835 mm. Benelli gives both bikes a 1,505 mm wheelbase.

For the TRK 552X, Benelli switches to spoke wheels: a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear. Metzeler tyres are sized 110/80R19 at the front and 150/70R17 at the rear. Ground clearance rises to 210 mm, while seat height increases to 860 mm. That geometry and wheel combination point toward riders who plan to leave paved roads more often. The higher seat may also make it harder for some riders to put both feet down, so the 552X’s extra clearance comes with a practical fit consideration.

Colour choices distinguish the versions too. The TRK 552 comes in Black and White. The regular 552X is listed in Green and White, while Yellow is reserved for the Limited Edition. The source does not specify what additional equipment, if any, comes with that edition beyond its colour and higher price.

Navigation and comfort features

A 5-inch TFT console brings Bluetooth connectivity and navigation functions, including route planning, turn-by-turn directions, offline navigation and trackback. Benelli also lists navigation screen mirroring, a gear indicator, USB charging and illuminated switchgear. A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is fitted to both bikes, while T-BOX connectivity is optional.

Heated grips and a heated seat come standard across the range, alongside redesigned seats with additional padding. Riders can adjust the handlebar to tailor their position, and new hand guards add protection. These features give the bikes a touring focus on paper; the value will depend on how the seating, wind protection and controls suit riders over longer days, details that the listed specifications alone can’t establish.

Benelli India Managing Director Vikas Jhabakh said the company had focused on performance, comfort, control, technology and versatility for long-distance riders. For buyers comparing the two models, the clearest decision is the terrain trade-off: the TRK 552 has the lower seat and road-oriented alloy wheels, while the 552X costs more for spoke wheels, a larger front wheel and 20 mm of additional ground clearance. The Limited Edition’s Rs 7.90 lakh price makes it the top-priced choice, with the available source information identifying Yellow as its distinguishing colour.

The launch adds a more powerful engine and updated connectivity to Benelli’s existing TRK touring formula. With the core powertrain, suspension and braking shared, the wheel setup, ground clearance, seat height and price are the main factors to weigh before choosing between the 552 and 552X.
