Features of the Benelli TRK 800 2022
The Benelli TRK 800 model 2022 has gained great popularity in these first months of the year. The Italian brand of the
Pesaro company
has maintained its hallmark with the TRK 800: sobriety and capacity in an affordable vehicle with a lot of personality.
Its design follows the characteristics of other models of the same house with an imposing and attractive appearance. Performance is characterized by good quality both on-road and off-road.
It has a 754 cc in-line twin-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder, giving it agility and power for adventure. It has dual 320 mm semi-floating front disc brakes with four-piston parts and a 260 mm rear disc. In addition, its 19” front wheel and spoked rims prepare it for urban and off-road routes alike.
It weighs 226 kg and its seat, although comfortable, can be a bit high for the short segment of bikers: 834 mm height from the ground to the seat. For reference, in a previous

one of our customers tested a Husqvarna Norden 901 (seat height 854 mm) and with a height of 1.70 m he found problems to reach the ground well.
Options for better ground clearance on the Benelli TRK 800
An obvious solution to better reach the ground with the Benelli TRK 800 is to lower the seat height. However, doing this changes the geometry of the bike, which will affect the entire balance of its parts.
There are also kits to lower the height of Benelli motorcycles, as we also explained in this blog post
in this blog post
which consist of connecting rods that make the rear suspension lower by changing the anchor point. The price of this type of kit is around 150€, but you will hardly be able to install it on your own, adding a new expense.
