The bike comes with a dual headlamp setup with LED indicators and taillight. The seat height meanwhile stands at 800 mm for the standard TRK, going up to 840 mm on the TRK 502 X.

(The Benelli TRK 502 gets a new 500 cc parallel-twin engine)

Both versions of the Benelli TRK 502 draw power from the same 500 cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine tuned for 47 bhp at 8500 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and uses a hydraulically actuated clutch to reduce lever effort. You also get a gear shift indicator. The bike is suspended by 50 mm USD forks up front that is non-adjustable and a vertically mounted monoshock unit at the rear that comes with rebound and pre-load adjustment. Braking performance comes from 320 mm dual disc brakes at front and a 260 mm at the rear end with dual-channel ABS with the rear unit switchable.

The Benelli TRK 502 rides on 120/70 front and 160/60 rear 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli tyres for the road-spec version, while the off-road friendly TRK 502 X gets spoked wheels with 110/90 18-inch tyre at the front and a 150/70 17-inch tyre at the rear sourced from Metzeler. The bike is offered in three colour options - red, white and graphite grey.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
