Segment: Supermoto
Production years: 2009
The Benelli BX was a line of motorcycles made by Benelli in 2009 in three different versions, Cross, Enduro, and Motard. The line was developed in collaboration with Vertemati, each with its displacement.
The motorcycle line was first presented at the 2006 EICMA Show, and two years later, in 2009, they were released into the market with only a few units manufactured for some motocross teams. They were produced for only a year due to the company's economic problems.
The 2009 Benelli BX 570 Motard had standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small headlight integrated into a small cowl, a single seat, a dual-sided swingarm, an under-seat exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels with road tires.
The bike was built around a single-beam aluminum frame with a 50 mm adjustable inverted fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.
The braking power was achieved by a 320 mm floating disc with a four-piston radial caliper on the front and a 220 mm brake disc with a single-piston floating caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.
As for power, the 2009 Benelli BX 570 Motard had its heartbeat set by a 569cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge. The power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed gearbox and a final chain drive.
