- V-twin engine produces 72bhp and 68Nm
- Single-sided aluminium swingarm and twin underseat exhausts
- Vinster X 700 gets a larger 19-inch front wheel and taller seat
Benda did also unveil the new Vinster 700 and Vinster X 700 at EICMA 2026 marking its entry into the middleweight roadster segment. Both these motorcycles share a 692cc V-twin engine, chassis and suspension components, but take different approaches to design and riding ergonomics. While the Vinster 700 follows a conventional roadster layout, the Vinster X 700 adopts a more rugged, scrambler-inspired character.
Vinster 700 is the more conventional motorcycle of the two with its sculpted teardrop-shaped fuel tank, long and relatively flat seat and a compact rear section. The circular LED headlamp and exposed mechanical components give it a traditional roadster appearance. That single-sided aluminium swingarm adds a more contemporary element. Perhaps the coolest design detail is the exhaust arrangement with two short silencers positioned high beneath the seat.
Vinster X 700 builds on the same design with several changes to give it a more adventurous appearance. It gets a high-mounted front mudguard, handguards, engine protection and a small windscreen positioned above the circular headlamp. Benda has also included a tank-mounted luggage rack and provision for a side bag. The overall appearance is closer to that of a traditional scrambler.
Powering both motorcycles is a 691.66cc liquid-cooled 65-degree V-twin. It produces 72bhp at 9,000rpm and 68Nm of torque at 6,500rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. The chassis is a double-cradle frame with the distinctive aluminium single-sided swingarm. Suspension is handled by upside-down telescopic front forks offering 135mm of travel and a hydraulic rear shock absorber with 120mm of rear wheel travel.
The biggest mechanical difference between the two motorcycles concerns their wheels. The standard Vinster 700 rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends, fitted with 120/70-section front and 170/60-section rear tyres. Vinster X 700 retains the 17-inch rear wheel but receives a larger 19-inch front wheel with more pronounced tyre tread. Standard Vinster 700 has an 830mm seat height and a claimed kerb weight of 195kg. Vinster X 700 features a considerably taller 865mm seat and weighs 200kg.
