Conclusion - what sticks

The Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail is a real fun bike. It not only looks chic, but the driving also brings you a real mood. There are hardly any points of criticism except for the brake, the machine looks valuable and well processed. The driving performance does not overwhelm anyone, but you can also accelerate and have fun if necessary.
 
The price of this machine is excellent. You get a lot of motorcycle for little money. The rather clear technical equipment of the Benelli fits well to a Scrambler. If you like this type of bike, you should visit a Benelli dealer as soon as possible and take a test ride. Bring real mood, you'll see!

Conclusion - what sticks

The announced comparison to the T100 and the Street Twin is almost imperative here. The T100 is even more classic in terms of appearance and the Street Twin is not only cheaper, but visually also a bit more modern, which is mainly due to the normal rims. The Scrambler with its spoke wheels, bellows and the Scrambler exhaust is visually a bit more "riotous". It is a bit more stable or less manoeuvrable due to the 19" front wheel, but it gives the driver more control due to the wider handlebars.
 
So if you like it classic, you can use the T100, if you are looking for a stylish naked bike that fits into today's world, take the Street Twin and if you want to look a little on the poop, you can use the Scrambler. All three machines have their justification and deliver a lot of driving fun due to the great 900 twin - really!
