2026 Benelli BKX 300

BKX 300: Benelli’s new adventure model that takes the BKX family to the next level. An easy, lightweight and intuitive motorcycle, designed for riders who want to expand their range and experience every journey with greater intensity. A versatile companion, engineered to deliver maximum handling and control in any context, from off-road riding to everyday use, always with maximum riding enjoyment.

Its design, created by the Centro Stile Benelli, carries over the same styling language introduced with the BKX 125, while built on a different technical platform: balanced proportions, clean surfaces and compact volumes that place the rider at the centre of the experience. The raised riding position, with footpegs adjustable in two positions, 19” front and 17” rear spoked wheels, and long-travel adjustable suspension all contribute to defining a modern, functional and immediately recognisable motorcycle, ready to tackle any route with a true spirit of exploration.

The BKX 300 is powered by a modern 292.4 cc, liquid-cooled, Euro 5+ single-cylinder engine, delivering 28.6 hp and 24 Nm of torque. A responsive and flexible engine, ideal for A2 licence holders, designed to provide an engaging yet easy and manageable riding experience. The braking system, featuring a 300 mm front disc with a radial four-piston caliper, paired with a 240 mm rear disc, ensures power and control in all riding conditions. Thanks to its dimensions, ergonomics and low weight, the BKX 300 guarantees excellent handling and full control on any surface.

Built For Adventure

The BKX 300 features a steel closed double cradle frame, paired with adjustable suspension offering 180 mm of travel, and spoked wheels with a 19” front and 17” rear setup. The chassis, solid and well-balanced, provides a wide range of adjustments, allowing every rider to find the ideal setup to tackle both asphalt and off-road terrain with stability and confidence.

Style And Personality

The design of the BKX 300 conveys a sense of motion even at a standstill, immediately expressing its exploratory spirit. Sharp lines and well-balanced proportions blend with functional elements typical of the adventure world, shaping a motorcycle with a strong, instantly recognisable character. A style that goes beyond aesthetics, becoming an integral part of the riding experience and the spirit of discovery that defines it.

A High-Performance Engine In Every Situation

The BKX 300 steps up in displacement thanks to a new 292 cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, Euro 5+ single-cylinder engine (bore x stroke: 78 x 61.2 mm). Delivering 28.6 hp (21 kW) at 8,750 rpm and 24 Nm (2.5 kgm) at 7,250 rpm, it offers strong flexibility, ensuring an engaging and enjoyable ride in all conditions.

A Distinctive Lighting Signature

Attention to detail and styling is also reflected in the BKX 300’s lighting system. The modern DRL, defined by its two iconic light blades and shared with the road-focused S version, shapes the front end, while at the rear the brake light and turn indicators are integrated into a single unit. Front indicators built into the handguards complete a cohesive, refined and instantly recognisable look.

Ready For Any Scenario

Designed to deliver a more complete and versatile riding experience, the BKX 300 expands its range, allowing riders to confidently tackle a wide variety of conditions and routes. Dynamic and safe, it offers enhanced performance and greater comfort even on longer journeys, while remaining easy to ride and accessible. BKX 300: always at ease, from daily commuting to more demanding routes.
