In 2020, Benda introduced Chinchilla300, marking a pivotal moment for the company and igniting a trend for sport cruisers in the domestic market. Chinchilla300 sparked a trend for sport cruisers in the domestic market and captured the attention of global enthusiasts. Unlike naked bikes and scooters, cruisers are known for their classic, muscular retro look that emphasizes industrial design aesthetics.
Benda’s design for Chinchilla300 perfectly balances performance and aesthetic appeal. It features a low-positioned straight handlebar and forward foot pedals that create an ideal riding triangle. Its rugged yet stylish stance quickly won over many young Chinese riders. Beyond its striking design, the bike is powered by a V-twin engine with twin cylinders and 8 valves, enhancing its performance.
Building on the success, Benda launched the LFC700 the following year, setting a new standard for sport cruisers, and introduced the Rock300 as an entry-level American-style retro cruiser. The LFC700 not only features a larger engine and increased power but also advances in design, earning the Red Dot Award for Motorcycle Design in 2024 and gaining a global fan base. The company continued to expand with innovative cruiser models such as the Napoleonbob 250, Napoleonbob 500, and Dark Flag 500, making Benda synonymous with sport cruiser motorcycle supplier in the Chinese market. When discussing cruisers, Benda is a name that cannot be overlooked.
In addition to engine variations, the Chinchilla family has been adjusted to cater to different user needs. Notably, Chinchilla500 incorporates an innovative liquid-cooled V2 engine platform, which effectively reduces overheating of the rear cylinder, enhancing riding comfort. It also features an optimized slipper clutch for the smoothest shifting experience, ensuring every gear change is seamless.
The Chinchilla series remains a legendary product line for Benda. The company continues to design and develop an expanding range of exceptional cruisers. We look forward to sparking a global wave of Benda cruisers in the near future.
