Key Features
Bobber Soul, Café Racer Stance
The Napoleonbob blends bobber proportions with café-racer sport styling — a silhouette that reads as neither, and is better for it.
Floating Short Tail
The floating short tail is the visual signature of the bike: a clean break behind the seat that gives the profile its tension.
475.6 cc Liquid-Cooled V-Twin
42 N·m at 7200 rpm from an in-house 8-valve liquid-cooled V-twin, delivered through a belt final drive.
1550 mm Wheelbase
Long enough to settle on the highway, compact enough for the stop-and-go rhythm of city traffic.
Belt Final Drive
Quiet, clean and effectively maintenance-free between services — no chain to adjust, lubricate or replace.
ABS, TCS and LED Display
ABS and traction control are standard, with a 3-inch round full-colour LED display behind the bars.

Its 695mm seat height and 215kg curb weight are on the accessible end for a 500cc-class cruiser, making it a reasonable step up for riders moving on from a smaller-displacement bike — though any rider should confirm fit and licensing requirements with a Benda dealer.
