Benda Chinchilla 350 CVT 2026

The Benda Chinchilla 350 NEO is a bold cruiser that deliberately breaks new ground with its CVT transmission, creating one thing above all else: maximum accessibility. It is easier to ride than almost any other bike in this class and is clearly aimed at beginners, returning riders and anyone who wants to cruise in a relaxed manner without having to worry about shifting gears. Even if some of the classic V2 emotion is lost in the process, the overall package impresses with its suitability for everyday use, its comfort and, above all, a concept that works surprisingly well.
