Benelli 502CvsRoyal Enfield Bullet 650

Our AI recommends

Royal Enfield Bullet 650

66% Match

The Bullet 650 undercuts the Benelli 502C by over Rs 2.1 lakh while matching it almost power-for-power, adding a slipper clutch, LED headlamp and digital fuel gauge that the 502C lacks, making it the sharper value buy. The 502C answers back with a liquid-cooled 4-valve motor, upside-down forks, alloy wheels, a full LCD cluster and documented mileage/warranty figures that suit riders wanting a more premium, tech-laden cruiser experience. Choose the Bullet 650 for everyday value and lighter running costs, or the 502C if you want higher-spec hardware and don't mind paying a premium for it.

Benelli 502C

Standard

₹5.8 Lakh

Ex-showroom price

Liquid-Cooled Performance Engine
The 502C uses a liquid-cooled, 4-valve parallel-twin against the Bullet 650's air/oil-cooled unit, enabling a higher 8500rpm power peak and 175kmph top speed.
Premium Suspension Setup
Upside-down 41mm forks with a preload-adjustable rear shock give the 502C more sophisticated chassis control than the Bullet 650's telescopic fork and twin-shock setup.
Full Digital LCD Cluster
The 502C features a digital speedometer, tachometer, and LCD console with dual trip meters, far more advanced than the Bullet 650's semi-digital analogue setup.
