Benelli Imperiale 400 Design Highights
Similar to the rest of Benelli’s products sold in India, this price hike does not add any cosmetic or mechanical changes to the motorcycle. Thus, it continues to get the same retro styling. Imperiale is a quintessential retro motorcycle. It retains the round headlamp with a chrome casing along with a round, chrome-finished turn indicators. The motorcycle also gets more chrome on the tail lamp, mirrors, levers, and spoke wheels. Built on a steel-double cradle frame, it holds a peanut-shaped fuel tank and a split-seat setup. Benelli has also equipped the motorcycle with a twin-pod instrument cluster with chrome bezels that give it a retro look.
Benelli Imperiale 400 Mechanicals
The motorcycle continues with the 374cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. The performance output of the engine reads as 20.7 BHP of power and 29 Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. The feature list remains the same. The key highlights include a halogen headlight, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and dual-channel ABS. Suspension duties are taken care of by 41mm telescopic forks up front and preload-adjustable twin shock absorbers at the rear. Meanwhile, braking power comes from a 300mm disc brake up front and a 240mm brake at the rear. Dual-channel ABS is a standard fitment for the motorcycle. As for the color options, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is available in three color options. These are, namely, black, red, and silver.
