The baby Leoncino eggs you to push harder

- Aadil Naik

I’m quite happy with the latest crop of Benellis to hit our shores. The TRK 502 is a decent tourer, the Imperiale 400 is segment-leading when it comes to ride quality and balance, and the Leoncino 500 has a thoroughly enjoyable engine. I don’t remember being so fond of Benellis back in the day. Well, the younger sibling, the Leoncino 250 is here, and I have gone from having low expectations from the brand to relatively higher ones. Would this bike really impress? Can it hold its own in the hotly-contested sub-400cc space? And is it a bike that can be viewed as something more than a smaller, cheaper, less powerful Leoncino 500?

2025 KTM 390 ADVENTURE

What makes a perfect shot? It's a cocktail of many elements — the right settings, correct gear, and a great environment. But more often than not, the defining factor behind a killer image is a giant pair of cojones — belonging equally to rider and photographer. Naturally, a few loose screws help, too. Thankfully, and rather coincidentally, Manaal and I align on this philosophy. How else would he willingly hoist a 21-inch wheel right up to my wide-angle lens, trusting that neither of us will cross paths catastrophically? We do have enough screws in the right places to not swap positions... Well, at least, that's what we tell ourselves.
