Benda LFC 700 2025
The Benda LFC 700 is a bike that deliberately defies categorisation. With its brute appearance, the emotional in-line four-cylinder engine and the spectacular tyre combination, it is more show than sport, more character than reason - and that is precisely its strength. It demands a lot from the rider physically, but in return offers a riding experience that you can hardly get from any other bike. Those who understand it will love it. Those who judge it with classic cruiser logic will fail.
Unique design with concept bike character
Emotional, throaty in-line four-cylinder sound
Surprisingly high-quality brake system with Brembo components
Fully adjustable suspension (KYB) with good comfort
Low seat height & secure footing for smaller riders
Very good rear-view mirrors with wide visibility
Strong performance at a comparatively fair price
Rough throttle response at low revs
Handling at low speeds sluggish and power-intensive
Handlebar position unfavourable when manoeuvring - especially for shorter riders
Passenger seat only suitable for short journeys
Creaking tank panelling detracts from the high-quality impression when stationary
Benda Napoleonbob 500 2025
The Benda Napoleonbob 500 impresses with its striking bobber look, a deep 695 Millimetre seat and low-maintenance belt drive. Its relaxed riding performance, comfortable saddle and solid braking system with ABS make it a pleasant cruiser. With a tank capacity of 16 litres, the range is also suitable for everyday use.
However, it does not have much maximum lean angle, it quickly comes to a standstill and is rather sluggish due to its wide tyres and long wheelbase. The throttle response is also rough and there may be a lack of storage space for some.
A stylish bobber for relaxed touring - but nothing for sporty riders or tight bends.
Striking looks: attracts a lot of attention, especially in the city, wide 180 rear tyre and coherent bobber aesthetics
Low seat: at 695 Millimetres, very accessible even for smaller riders
Pleasant cruising: relaxed riding style with good smoothness
Belt drive: easier to maintain than a chain and cleaner
Comfortable saddle: even longer rides are possible, no seating problems
Easy to ride: intuitive handling, especially for cruiser beginners
Good price-performance ratio: € 7.490 for a unique look and solid engine
16-litre tank: sufficient for longer rides without constant refilling
Poor maximum lean angle: touches down very quickly, especially on bumps in corners, little agility
Handling somewhat sluggish: wide tyres and long wheelbase make it more cumbersome in corners
Throttle response somewhat rough: needs a sensitive hand, can be stubborn in corners
Front braking performance limited: a single disk has natural limits, strong delay only in combination with rear brake
No storage space: must be retrofitted with tank bag or side bags
