2026 Benelli Leoncino 800

The Leoncino 800 is aimed at riders who want retro styling with modern riding dynamics. The 754 cc parallel twin responds cleanly, delivers strong midrange power, and revs freely without becoming twitchy. In corners, it turns in neutrally, remains stable, and the dual front brake provides clear and controllable stopping power.

Direct competitors include Ducati Scrambler Icon, Yamaha XSR 700, and Triumph Trident 660. The Ducati is lighter and more agile but less planted at speed. The Yamaha is lively and practical but lacks premium feel. The Triumph is highly balanced and precise but more expensive.

Within the Leoncino lineup, the 800 is the more powerful and mature alternative to the smaller 500 models.
