Little Lion, All Brawny: Benelli Leoncino Bobber 400 2025

The Bobber, developed at the Centro Stile Benelli, showcases a classic cruiser style in a sporty-aggressive outfit. Characteristic of the model is the low profile with a 15-liter fuel tank and a single seat, which visually and functionally reduces the vehicle to the essentials. Accordingly, the rear frame is short, omitting a pillion seat. Other striking design elements include the side-mounted air filter and the LED headlight, which shows a certain Milwaukee inspiration.

A cruiser needs a V-twin, right? The Leoncino Bobber 400 is equipped with a newly developed V-twin engine. This is the first model from Benelli to feature a V-60° layout. The liquid-cooled engine has a displacement of 384.5 cc, delivering a power output of 234.5 hp at 8000 rpm and a maximum torque of 36 Nm at 4500 rpm. The power is transmitted via a belt drive.

The chassis is based on a steel tube frame with a rear double shock absorber. Up front, a Ø35 mm telescopic fork is used, equipped with a floating 300 mm brake disc and a four-piston brake caliper. A dual-channel ABS provides additional safety. The seat height is 730 mm, and the position of the foot pegs along with the wide handlebars support an upright seating position. Wide tires (front 130/90-16, rear 150/80-16) and bar-end mirrors give the vehicle the typical bobber look.
