2020 Benelli 302 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Benelli's naked motorcycle platform, the 2020 Benelli 302 S relies on a 300 cc (18.3 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 37.6 HP (27.4 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 25.6 Nm (18.9 lb-ft) at 9,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 125.3 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (9,750 rpm) and peak power (11,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the 302 S measures 185 kg (408 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (4.92 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,410 mm (55.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
