The Benelli TRK 502 has been a popular mid-sized adventure touring motorcycle in Europe for the Chinese-owned Italian motorcycle brand. In fact, the TRK 502 has been a popular model not only in Italy, but around the world. Now, Benelli, owned by China’s Qianjiang Group, is getting ready to expand the TRK range of adventure touring models with a new TRK 702 model, which is powered by a 693 cc, parallel-twin engine. Images of the upcoming Benelli TRK 702 have surfaced, with the brand filing the upcoming model for type approval.

The images reveal one-of-a-kind sporting alloy wheels with 17-inch alloy wheels at both the ends.
The TRK 702 however is not a smaller version of the Benelli TRK 800 that was unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan last year. Unlike the 754 cc twin used in the TRK 800, which is shared with the 752S Roadster and Leoncino 800, the TRK 702 uses a 693 cc twin that is used in machines from the Chinese market sister brand, QJmotor . The design, though similar to the TRK 800, is also all new and the bike is also built around a new steel trellis frame. The 694 cc, parallel-twin engine is expected to generate around 75 Bhp.

Type approval images reveal at least two versions of the Benelli TRK 702, one with wire spoke wheels, and the other with alloys. The wire spoke wheel variant uses a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel combination, while the alloy wheel variant gets a smaller 17-inch front wheel. The images reveal that the bike is nearing production, and we expect Benelli to reveal the production model in the coming months. As of now, there is no word on any plans of launch in India.
