Benelli TRK 251 open pre-bookings

Benelli India has started pre-bookings for the TRK 251. The motorcycle will be the entry-level adventure touring vehicle in the company’s Indian portfolio. Interested buyers can reserve a unit of the bike through Benelli’s website for a symbolic fee of Rs 6,000. The quarter-liter adventure bike will take on models like the KTM 250 Adventure, the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the Hero XPulse 200 4V in the Indian market.

Ducat Desert X unveiled

Ducati has finally unveiled its most anticipated motorcycle: the Desert X. This adventure touring car was inspired by Ducati’s Paris-Dakar era. The Desert X will sit below the brand’s Multistrada lineup, but will be a true enduro instead of an adventure sport. The company claims that the brand has worked on many aspects to make the Desert X user-friendly on the road as well as off-road.
