2020 Benelli 302R Anniversary Edition Unveiled In China

The 2020 Benelli 302R has been unveiled in China as an Anniversary Edition. While new and updated model launches from Benelli India have been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the India-bound Benelli 302R, in all likelihood with updates to meet the latest emission regulations, including India's Bharat Stage VI (BS6) emission regulations, has been unveiled in China. The full-faired Benelli 302R gets new colour schemes and looks updated, cosmetically, although the basic engine and platform remains the same, with only minor tweaks to make the motor cleaner to meet the latest emission norms.

The 2020 Benelli 302R Anniversary Edition will be offered in four new colours

The engine is still the same 300 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine, but with low emissions, the output seems to have been sacrificed, as well as overall kerb weight. The motor now puts out 34.86 bhp of power and 27 Nm of peak torque, while the outgoing BS4 model had power of over 38 bhp and peak torque of 26.5 Nm. Kerb weight has gone up by 6 kg to 204 kg. The updates to make the engine cleaner will possibly include revised fuel maps, and perhaps an additional catalytic converter to the exhaust system.

Also new are the bright colours and graphics to give the updated model fresh appeal. The new colours, blue, green, red and white give the bike a sense of freshness, although the design overall hasn't been changed. The outgoing BS4 Benelli 302R was priced at Rs. 3.10 lakh (Ex-showroom), and we expect the updated model to be priced at around Rs. 3.25 lakh (Ex-showroom) when the bike is finally launched in India, towards the latter part of 2020.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
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.
