Both bikes use a new 554cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine delivering 52 bhp and 49 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. They feature a steel trellis frame with an aluminium swingarm, dual 320 mm front disc brakes with Bosch dual-channel ABS, a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth and navigation, heated grips and seats, a 20-litre fuel tank, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The TRK 552 has 17-inch alloy wheels and 190 mm ground clearance, while the TRK 552X gets spoke wheels, a 19-inch front wheel, and 210 mm ground clearance. The updated range includes optional T-BOX connectivity.

Vikas Jhabakh, Managing Director of Benelli India, said the new models build on the TRK range's touring focus with upgrades to performance, comfort, technology and versatility. The TRK 552 is available in Black and White, the TRK 552X in Green and White, and the Limited Edition in Yellow.

Indian Opinion Analysis

The pricing places the TRK 552 family squarely between entry-level and mid-capacity adventure tourers, a segment where Benelli already has a foothold. The Rs 7.22 lakh starting price undercuts some rivals on paper, but the real test will be dealer service and parts availability, which Jhabakh did not address. The specification sheet leaves T-BOX connectivity as optional rather than standard, which may disappoint riders who expected the connected features Jhabakh touted. Bookings begin today, so early order data will indicate whether the upgrade cycle spurs demand.
