The beating heart of the Imperiale 400 is the new single-cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled engine with SOHC and electronic fuel injection. Its maximum power is 21PS @ 6000 RPM with peak torque of 29 NM @ 3500 RPM.
The effective and balanced braking system of the Imperiale 400 features a 300mm disc upfront with a two-piston floating calliper and a 240mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper. The spoked rims have different diameters: 19″ on the front and 18″ at the rear, respectively mounting 100/90 and 130/80 section tubed tyres.
Chrome inserts accentuate the vintage style of this new Benelli motorcycle, reinforced by the round front headlight – typically retro – and the teardrop tank.
