Positioned in Benelli's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Benelli BX 250 Motard pairs a 249.2 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 BX 250 Motard measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.6-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
