MForce Bike Holdings Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of the Benda motorcycle brand, has launched the latest Chinchilla 500 cruiser, joining the two existing models available in Malaysia.

Unlike the previously launched Napoleon Bob 500, the Chinchilla 500 presents a more conventional cruiser design, complete with seating for a passenger.

The Benda Chinchilla 500 is powered by a liquid-cooled 475.6 cc SOHC V-twin engine that produces 47 hp at 9,000 rpm and 42 Nm of torque at 7,200 rpm.

This engine is paired with a six-speed transmission, a belt final drive system, and a slipper clutch.

The cruiser’s chassis is supported by a suspension system consisting of a 41 mm upside-down fork at the front (with a wheel travel of 129 mm) and twin shock absorbers at the rear with preload adjustment (with a wheel travel of 65 mm).

The braking system features a four-piston caliper and a 320 mm single floating brake rotor at the front, while at the rear, it uses a two-piston caliper and a 260 mm rotor.

Standard equipment includes a complete LED lighting system, as well as safety features such as two-channel ABS and traction control.

Additionally, there is a simple round cluster screen mounted on the handlebar, a 16-liter fuel tank, and a seat height of 705 mm.

In the Malaysian market, the Benda Chinchilla 500 is priced at RM27,888.
