Benda P51 hybrid boxer specs revealed
Benda is one of the lesser known brands that certainly made an impact at the 2025 EICMA show in Milan, with its P51 hybrid boxer concept a big reason as to why.
Benda used the most famous bike expo on the planet (EICMA) to reveal various new models in November, including a V4-powered Dark Flag 950 cruiser. But that wasn’t all, as its much-anticipated P51 hybrid boxer concept broke cover for the first time in Europe.
The new P51 had previously made its debut at September’s Chongqing International Motorcycle Expo. But the Chinese brand had yet to show its new model outside of China, until EICMA rolled around that is.
Prior to last month’s expo in Milan, Italy, few details were known about the new model. However, we did already know about its compact 250cc horizontally-opposed twin engine with a hybrid drive system.
But further details have since emerged, including its power and torque figures which greatly exceed the output you would expect from a 250cc bike.
The futuristic cruiser concept delivers 62hp (or 61.1bhp) and 74 Ib-ft of torque, with the latter putting it in the ballpark of what you’d expect from a high-powered superbike. Those figures are also enough to get you from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds, says Benda.
The P51 employs a traditional combustion engine with a battery-powered electric motor, and can be used entirely as an electric motorcycle, or as a hybrid which will give you the bike’s maximum power.
“Its neo-retro design takes cues from aviation,” according to Benda. The company also goes on to say that the P51 concept blends “vintage character with futuristic precision”.
The bike has a claimed kerb weight of 178 kg, putting it inline with 300cc models. It also features an “aircraft-inspired” LED headlight, and a dual-seat layout.
The Benda P51 hybrid boxer uses an aluminium frame and telescopic forks that appear similar to what’s used by the Napoleonbob 500.
As part of a social media post, Benda went on to say that “the P51 proves that true innovation isn’t about size. It’s about smart power integration and daring design. This is Benda’s bold step into the future of motorcycling.”
