Voge AC525X & Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail - Which one should you choose?

Exploring the blend of nostalgia and adventure in two contemporary motorcycles.

In the world of motorcycles, adventure and style often find themselves in a harmonious blend, and few bikes encapsulate this dual charm better than the 2024 Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail and the Voge 525 ACX. These two machines, though similar in displacement and purpose, offer distinct experiences that cater to different types of riders seeking adventure or nostalgia.





The Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail is a commendable representation of Benelli's expertise in crafting a motorcycle that is both aesthetically appealing and capable on all terrains. This modern-classic bike has been designed with a renewed focus on providing an engaging and dynamic riding experience. With a 500cc, two-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that adheres to the Euro 5 norms, the Leoncino 500 Trail pushes out 47.6 hp and 46 Nm of torque. These specifications ensure that the bike delivers power smoothly across the gears, whether you're cruising on the tarmac or tackling more challenging off-road scenarios.

The Leoncino Trail's design is a testimony to Benelli's craftsmanship, featuring a sporty yet elegant appearance emphasized by silver graphics on the tank and its iconic Lion model on the front mudguard. The combination of its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear Metzeler Tourance tires ensures that the Trail remains stable and playful, ready to conquer diverse riding surfaces. With adjustable suspensions and a rigorous braking system comprising a 320 mm double disc with ABS on the front, the Leoncino Trail is built to inspire confidence in its riders.


On the other hand, the Voge 525 ACX, also known as the "Advanced Classic," is an ode to motorcycling's golden era, deftly blending past elegance with cutting-edge technology. The bike embodies this seamless fusion of classic aesthetics with modern engineering, making it not just a mode of transport but a tribute to the heritage of two-wheeled innovation. Sporting the same engine capabilities as the Benelli, with 48 hp and 45 Nm of torque, the Voge 525 ACX also adheres to Euro 5 regulations, ensuring it is environmentally conscious while delivering robust performance.

The Voge's appeal lies in its scrambler style, beckoning riders who appreciate the allure of retro design melded with present-day advancements. It’s a motorcycle that prompts admiration, built to turn every head as it cruises along both city streets and scenic byways. With features such as a steel tube frame and electronic injection system, the 525 ACX maintains a reputation for reliable performance, harmonizing beauty with power in equal measure.

Choosing between the Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail and the Voge 525 ACX is akin to deciding which path of motorcycle enjoyment one wants to pursue. For riders inclined towards adventure, the Leoncino Trail is undoubtedly the more suitable choice, thanks to its competence over rugged terrains and its practical yet stylish approach to everyday rides. Meanwhile, for those who cherish a sense of nostalgia and crave a head-turning city commuter with the essence of retro charisma, the Voge 525 ACX is the embodiment of elegance and current technology.

Ultimately, both motorcycles present stellar opportunities for riders to explore their passion through different lenses, encouraging them to embrace the road ahead, albeit in distinct ways. With prices hovering around £4999 for the Benelli and £5499 for the Voge, the decision boils down to whether one's spirit dances to the tune of adventure or the rhythm of history.
