Benda Darkflag 500i V4 2025

The Benda Darkflag 500 is a unique, bold cruiser that stands out with its V4 engine and air suspension. It demands compromises, but also offers a riding experience that is unique in this class. The Chinese have shown courage; for individualists and riders looking for something special, the Darkflag is an exciting proposition.

Innovative chassis concept

low centre of gravity

good manoeuvrability

independent engine character

solid braking performance

many features such as USB connection or cruise control as standard

Setup of the sport mode of the air suspension could be improved

maximum lean angle is limited by the frame touching down

poor pillion comfort

cruise control difficult to operate, relatively high fuel consumption

Triumph Speed 400 2025

Triumph Speed 400 2025

The Speedy 400 is a really smart A2-class naked bike at a low price. The engine could be a little more agile, but the small Speed 400 offers a nice torque plateau in the mid-range. Thanks to its low weight, the handling is perfectly fine and the suspension offers an appropriate compromise between comfort and sport - with a tendency towards comfort. Although the brakes only have one disc at the front, they are really effective. Finally, the electronics also score points, with even a disengageable traction control system on board.
