Technical Overview

2008 Benelli BX 570 Motard Technical Analysis, Chassis Review & Ownership Overview

Built around Benelli's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2008 Benelli BX 570 Motard pairs a 567 cc (34.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal cylinder geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 104.0 x 67.0 mm (4.1 x 2.6 inches), a 12.5:1 compression ratio, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel delivery managed via injection.

On the scales, the BX 570 Motard measures 125 kg (276 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and dimensional geometry center around a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced cornering agility and high-speed highway composure.

Chassis suspension hardware on the 2008 Benelli BX 570 Motard is configured for predictable road feedback with front suspension handled by Upside-down telescopic fork and rear damping managed via Swingarm with linkage and adjustable monoshock. Braking performance is delivered by single disc (260 mm rotor diameter) up front paired with single disc (220 mm) at the rear. Factory rolling stock mounts a 120/70-R17 front tire and a 150/60-R17 rear tire, sizing the contact patch for predictable turn-in grip and replacement tire availability.

Routine workshop maintenance calls for recommended SAE 10W-40 Synthetic 4T (API SL/SN / JASO MA2) engine oil (3.40 litres (3.59 US quarts)), NGK CR8E / CR9E /CR9EH-9 spark plugs, cold tire pressures of 1.5 bar (22 psi) front / 1.5 bar (22 psi) rear. Within MotoLibrary's Benelli catalog, this model lineage spans 2 indexed model years (2008–2010), enabling direct year-over-year comparison of equipment and emissions updates. Buyers cross-shopping the 2008 Benelli BX 570 Motard in the Super motard segment most frequently benchmark its horsepower, seat height, and curb weight against the Yamaha WR125X (2011), Yamaha WR125X (2009), KTM 640 Duke II Black (2005).
