benelli 180s 2026

The Benelli 180S 2026 is a visually aggressive "naked" streetfighter that brings a premium Italian aesthetic to the entry-level sport bike segment. Designed for urban agility, it is powered by a liquid-cooled, 175.3cc single-cylinder engine featuring a unique triple-spark plug technology (B3SP), which optimizes combustion to deliver a punchy 18 horsepower and 14 Nm of torque through a 6-speed transmission. Its muscular stance is defined by sharp, angular bodywork, an exposed perimeter frame, and a distinctive "alien-face" LED projector headlight that gives it substantial road presence.
Mechanically, it supports this sporty look with inverted (USD) front forks and a rear mono-shock suspension, offering precise handling for city commuting, while front and rear disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power. With a fully digital instrument cluster and fuel efficiency averaging around 40–45 km/L, the 180S serves as an ideal choice for riders seeking a stylish, tech-forward daily commuter that feels larger and more capable than standard 150cc rivals.
