Key Features

Chinchilla 500 โ€” Modular Frame Platform

Modular Frame Platform

Benda builds the Chinchilla on a modular frame designed to extend and adapt โ€” the same platform philosophy that lets one architecture carry several very different motorcycles.

Chinchilla 500 โ€” 475.6 cc Liquid-Cooled V-Twin

475.6 cc Liquid-Cooled V-Twin

35 kW at 9000 rpm and 42 Nยทm at 7200 rpm from an 8-valve liquid-cooled V-twin, tuned for usable midrange rather than a peaky top end.

Chinchilla 500 โ€” Belt Final Drive

Belt Final Drive

A belt runs quieter than a chain, needs no lubrication and asks almost nothing of you between services โ€” the right answer for a cruiser that gets ridden, not maintained.

Chinchilla 500 โ€” USD Fork and Twin Discs

USD Fork and Twin Discs

An upside-down fork with 129 mm of travel and 320 mm twin front discs, with ABS and TCS as standard.

Chinchilla 500 โ€” 1550 mm Wheelbase

1550 mm Wheelbase

A long wheelbase and a 705 mm seat height give the Chinchilla stability at speed and confidence at a stop โ€” big-bike presence without big-bike intimidation.

Chinchilla 500 โ€” Full-Colour Round LED Display

Full-Colour Round LED Display

A 3-inch round full-colour display keeps the classic cruiser silhouette while showing everything a modern rider expects.
