Benelli, under KTM International Trading Pvt Ltd did what numerous other new comers couldn't in the Nepali cruiser club. While numerous new contestants in the business attempted to keep their head above water, Benelli, a worldwide organization revived from close powder, courageously swam out of the waters with their head held high. The moniker increased quick ubiquity among bike devotees and it shimmied into a respectable position among its associates. In Nepal, a significant part of the achievement must be ascribed to the TNT 300; a bare games bicycle with a motor note so sweet it should be what might as well be called a Chris Cornell song (RIP).
Benelli, in any case, have adhered to carrying stripped cruisers into the market with the littler TNT 135, the TNT 25, and the stunningness commendable TNT 600i… as of not long ago. Benelli have at long last turned out with their first completely faired bike as the 302 R.
Presently, times may have changed, however a larger part of cruiser fans still love full faired bikes, particularly ones that guarantee to go quick. This implied the 302 R from Benelli immediately made a buzz. Furthermore, we were really energized as well; not just in light of the fact that it was a completely faired issue additionally on the grounds that it wasn't only a TNT 300 with new garments on. Yes, it is only a marginally distinctively tuned motor lifted from the TNT 300 however separated from that it is a totally new machine… another machine we were anxious to stretch as far as possible.
STYLING
The most discernible part of the 302 R is the good looking sash that tenderly circular segments towards the rider, introducing itself as a modernized adaptation of games bicycles of the 90s. While it might not have an excessively forcing aura it oozes a glimmer of animosity that cloak a formed character.
That is the plan thought that appears to move all through the whole cruiser, not plainly forceful but rather good to go at a drop of a cap. The sides get spotless lines and deltas and outlets in all the correct spots. The topsy turvy fork is obtained from the TNT 300 however fits in well with the whole outline of the 302 R. A totally new trellis has the motor as a vital piece of the entire frame, which gives this Benelli a superior 50:50 front to raise weight circulation.
Keep in mind how the TNT 300 had a balanced stun? All things considered, the 302 R has selected a traditional situation. The concealed debilitates likewise discover their place on the correct profile as twin fumes outlets. A strongly molded tail gets a MV Agusta styling which complements the backside of the 302 R which incidentally, is the best edge from which to see this bicycle.
The instrument group is really clear with an amalgamation of advanced and simple support. Generally, this is a delightfully composed cruiser that gives this bike a major bicycle feel.

Execution
Controlling this magnificence is a similar motor from the TNT 300 the 300cc, fuel-infused, fluid cooled parallel twin. In any case, a couple of changes have been incorporated. Right off the bat, the rigging proportions have been modified to suit the completely faired nature of the 302 R. Besides, the motor has additionally been retuned to coordinate this new character – principally another motor guide.
Swing your leg over the bicycle and you'll wind up in an energetic position that isn't viciously forceful nor excessively laid back like a tourer. It finds a sweet spot in the middle of which makes it a treat in the city and the open streets.
The inline twin truly becomes animated when you venture up the revs. We would have cherished it on the off chance that it was somewhat sprightlier from a stop however it compensates for it with its higher end control. Despite the fact that it doesn't have the throaty thunder of its exposed kin it sounds truly average as you develop the revs. The 302 R will energetically get you to the three-digit stamp and joyfully wander further.
Suspension is solid so you will feel the street undulations, yet that enables the 302 R to order more control over corners alongside greater consistency. 260mm twin petals embrace the braking obligations in advance and a 240 mm circle assumes the liability in the back. Joined with the grippy Metzellers, the cornering and halting ability of the Benelli 302 R is exact.
Decision
With an Italian legacy joined with the Chinese generation it is a mix that motorcyclists have invited with open arms. We adored the TNT 300 and the 302 R does not frustrate. The 302 R is a bike with an energetic identity that still supports simplicity of riding over inside and out speed. It doesn't set out to be strongly athletic, however to give regular mold melded fulfilling speed.
