Imperiale 400 arrives in all Benelli dealerships with a series of technical and aesthetic innovations designed to improve rideability, performance and enhance its vintage style. The classic bike of the Leoncino Company, a reinterpretation of a historical model of the Benelli-MotoBi range produced in the 1950s, is updated with new graphics capable of underlining its retro-soul: a three-dimensional Benelli logo in Silver colour stands out from the tank, the texture on the tank pads changes as well as the logo positioned under the seat, giving it an even more elegant and captivating look.
Imperiale 400 offers 19" front and 18" rear wheels which now mount Maxxis Promaxx 100/90 tyres at the front and 130/80 at the rear, capable of guaranteeing maximum reliability on the road in any condition, even in the wet.

Controls
Everything you need, nothing that you don't. Simple controls and easy to read analogue dials ensure the Imperiale is straight forward to ride.
Engine
The beating heart of the Imperiale 400 is the all new single-cylinder, four-stroke, aircooled engine with a single overhead camshaft timing system and electronic fuel injection offering maximum fuel economy in any riding conditions. Its maximum power is 20.4 hp (15.5 kW) at 5500 rpm, with torque of 28 Nm (2.95 kgm) at 3500 rpm. The high torque figure makes riding the Imperiale super easy.
Brakes and wheels
The effective and balanced braking system of the Imperiale 400 features a 300 mm diameter disc on the front with two-piston floating calliper and a 240 mm disc with single-piston calliper at the rear, thus ensuring full control of the bike. The aluminium alloy rims have different diameters: 19" on the front end, 18" on the back, respectively mounting 110/90 and 130/80 tyres.
Classic style
Chrome inserts accentuate the vintage style of this new Benelli motorcycle, reinforced by the round front headlight – typically retro – and the teardrop tank, which bring out the motorcycle's true essence. A thoroughly modern piece of engineering wrapped up in a timeless classic design.
