The Benelli TRK 552 & TRK 552X will be available at authorised Benelli Keeway dealerships across India from 22nd October 2026, The TRK 552 is priced at ₹7,22,000/- and the TRK 552X is priced at ₹7,74,000/-. The TRK 552X Limited Edition is priced at ₹7,90,000/- (All prices ex-showroom, India). Bookings will commence from 22nd October 2026. through authorised Benelli Keeway dealerships.
The two motorcycles have been developed around distinct riding propositions. The TRK 552 is designed for riders who predominantly explore paved roads and undertake long-distance touring, while the TRK 552X extends the platform’s adventure capability with spoke wheels, greater ground clearance and a more off-road-oriented wheel and tyre configuration, similar to its predecessors, the TRK 502 and TRK 502X.
Building on the TRK’s established touring DNA, the new generation combines a 554cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with enhanced chassis hardware, upgraded rider technology and a comprehensive suite of touring-focused features. The new powerplant delivers 52 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 49 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission and slipper clutch, giving riders a combination of strong performance and smoother control during downshifts.
The updated TRK platform also introduces a more comprehensive rider interface, featuring a 5-inch TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation and T-BOX connectivity, bringing greater functionality into the cockpit. For riders who see touring as more than simply covering distance, the new TRK 552 and TRK 552X bring together technology, comfort and capability to make the journey itself an integral part of the experience.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Vikas Jhabakh, Managing Director, Benelli India said, “The TRK name has become synonymous with the spirit of touring and exploration, and the new TRK 552 and TRK 552X take that philosophy into a new generation. We have focused on the aspects like performance, comfort, control, technology and versatility, which matter most to riders who travel long distances. With the new 554cc engine, upgraded chassis components, connected features and enhanced touring equipment, the new TRK 552 family is designed to give riders the freedom to explore further, whether their journey stays on the highway or takes them beyond it.”
The new TRK 552 and TRK 552X have been developed around a tubular steel trellis frame and aluminium swingarm, complemented by a 50 mm Marzocchi USD front fork and a preload-adjustable rear mono shock. The suspension combination is designed to provide stability and allow riders to tailor the motorcycle’s setup according to the riding conditions and load. Braking performance comes from twin 320 mm floating front discs and a 260 mm rear disc, supported by Bosch dual-channel ABS.
The updated TRK range receives a significant technology upgrade centred around its 5-inch TFT instrument cluster. The system incorporates Bluetooth connectivity and navigation, essential for route planning, turn-by-turn directions, ofline navigation, smartphone integration and trackback functionality. Both the variants come equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), providing riders with tyre-pressure information and alerts when abnormal pressure is detected. The result is a cockpit designed to put essential information and connected functionality directly within the rider’s field of view, while retaining the practical focus expected of a long-distance adventure motorcycle.
Long-distance comfort is a defining element of the new TRK 552 family. Both motorcycles feature heated grips and a heated seat, along with newly designed double-threaded seats with additional padding. An adjustable handlebar allows riders to customise their riding position, while newly designed hand guards provide additional protection for the hands. The 20-litre fuel tank further supports the motorcycles’ touring intent, while the combination of rider-focused ergonomics and comfort is designed to reduce fatigue over longer journeys.
While the TRK 552 and TRK 552X share their core engine, brakes, electronics and comfort package, their chassis configurations reflect different riding priorities. The TRK 552 is equipped with 17-inch aluminium alloy wheels, with 120/70ZR17 Pirelli front and 160/60ZR17 Pirelli rear tyres. Its 190 mm ground clearance and 835 mm seat height are configured around road-focused touring, offering a balance between long-distance capability and everyday usability.
The TRK 552X takes the platform further into adventure territory with spoke wheels, a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel, and Metzeler 110/80R19 front and 150/70R17 rear tyres. Its 210 mm ground clearance and 860 mm seat height provide additional clearance and an adventure-oriented stance for riders looking to venture beyond paved roads.
