    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Don't worry, I will certainly continue with feedback on the bike here, but for ride reports I will change to the relevant section.

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Good idea, but do you get TPMS just for bikes? The ones I saw were all for cars and look a bit bulky. Mounting space is a real issue for me

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Thanks doc, some food for thought for the future when I have more time on my hands. At the moment I have at most two days a week on which I can ride, so it doesn't really justify the effort, but I...

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Haha, I am catching up fast. Already ordered a new Metzeler tyre to be safe, as well as spare tubes. Just need to invest in some tools and patch kit, but I'm getting there. This is good experience...

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Ok, after an eventful trip to Wuxi, I can confirm that my tubeless wheels on the 502X indeed have tubes. On the way back to Huzhou this afternoon, the rear tyre met with a screw, just as I pulled...

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    I had a look today and the wheels are indeed tubeless. Did another very pleasant ride along Taihu, beautiful road with almost no cars. Growing really fond of my bike, a real pleasure to ride

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Paid my bike today, now waiting for registration, but looks like I will get it on Wednesday. I took it for a quick spin around the shop and while it indeed feels heavy, it becomes surprisingly easy...

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Looking at the Benelli TRK 251 too. Seems a better choice for my needs, but can't get the launch date confirmed. Bike shop says early next year, internet says Sept-Nov.

    Re: New Benelli TRK502X with spoke wheels

    Why don't you like the Benelli? I am looking at buying one, for lack of choice as it seems to be the only available adventure bike in my area. Would like some opinions before I buy. Also in two...
