The Benelli Leoncino 250 is a discontinued 249 cc liquid-cooled motorcycle with a 6-speed gearbox. BikeDekho lists 25.8 PS @ 9250 rpm maximum power and 21 Nm @ 8000 rpm maximum torque. It has a 12.5 L fuel tank and a 162 kg kerb weight.
The Benelli Leoncino 250 is a cafe racer motorcycle from Benelli. It was launched in 2019 and has since been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Café racers take their look from 1960s British racers: a low handlebar, a slim tank and minimal bodywork. With a 249 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.
Power comes from a 249 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 25.8 PS at 9,250 rpm and 21 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (72 mm x 61.2 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 159 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 114 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet clutch.
It is built around a steel trellis frame. Suspension is by 41 mm USD telescopic forks at the front and Pre-load adjustable rear suspension at the rear. Braking is by a 280 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 110/70-ZR17 at the front and 150/60-ZR17 at the rear.
The seat is 810 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 162 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 170 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,030 mm long, with 1,380 mm between the axles. It carries 12.5 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp and daytime running lamps. Safety equipment includes low fuel indicator.

₹4,999
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 280 mm and Disc, 240 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 110/70-ZR17 / 150/60-ZR17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
