A Legacy in the Making
Founded in 2016, Benda made waves in the motorcycle industry with the launch of Benda Chinchilla 300 in 2020. This groundbreaking model reinvigorated China’s cruiser market, transforming a once niche segment into one of the hottest categories. Riding on this success, Benda introduced the Chinchilla 500, and over the past five years, the Chinchilla family has achieved a remarkable milestone—over 220,000 units sold in China alone. This unprecedented achievement has set a new benchmark in the Chinese motorcycle industry for large-displacement models.

With its growing influence, Benda expanded into global markets, bringing Benda Chinchilla 300 and Chinchilla 500 to riders worldwide. In response to specific regulations in Europe, where riders with a Category B driver’s license face fewer restrictions when operating motorcycles up to 125cc, Benda introduced the Chinchilla 125. Maintaining the classic Chinchilla styling, this model caters to market preferences while reinforcing the Benda Chinchilla family’s global footprint as a rising force in the cruiser segment.

Offering a fresh perspective for cruiser enthusiasts, the Chinchilla 350 is set for a global release in 2026, with previews at international exhibitions throughout the year.

The Art of Balance in Design
Benda’s philosophy is to create motorcycles that seamlessly integrate into people’s lives—not just as machines, but as emotional and interactive companions. Guided by the core values of Frontier, Genuine, and Uncompromised, Benda infuses these principles into the design of the Chinchilla series, pushing the boundaries of traditional thinking.
Take Benda Chinchilla 300’s round headlight, for example. While it embodies a warm and full aesthetic, a perfectly circular shape can sometimes feel overly complete—like a house without windows. To introduce a touch of asymmetry and visual balance, designers added an off-center logo badge, subtly breaking up the uniformity while enhancing character.

The fuel tank design of the Chinchilla 500 follows a similar philosophy. Its sleek acceleration curves seamlessly complement the tightened and robust shoulder lines, embodying the Eastern philosophy of balance between structure and flow—just like life itself, where harmony and coordination form the foundation of existence.
When designing the Chinchilla’s riding ergonomics, Benda’s team meticulously refined the triangle geometry to accommodate riders of various heights. From seat angle adjustments to optimized grip and handlebar positioning, every detail was carefully considered. Rather than making isolated modifications that could disrupt the bike’s delicate equilibrium, the designers pursued a holistic approach—preserving the bike’s pure and effective balance.

A signature feature of the Benda Chinchilla family is the sculpted recess on the sides of the fuel tank, paired with a teardrop-shaped protector. Designed with the joy of riding in mind, this element enhances grip comfort and seamlessly blends into the overall aesthetic. This is the essence of design harmony, an experience we believe our riders will genuinely appreciate.

Power Meets Precision
Chinchilla 300 is powered by a robust V-twin engine, featuring a 8-valve structure with an actual displacement of 298cc. Delivering a maximum power output of 22.5kW at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 25.3Nm at 7,000rpm, this model ensures a thrilling ride with seamless power delivery. Complemented by a smooth and stable belt drive system from Continental, acceleration remains fluid and efficient. A single-side dual exhaust, finished with high-temperature-resistant ceramic coating and brushed stainless steel for corrosion resistance, amplifies the bike’s signature sound, making every journey an exhilarating symphony.
Chinchilla 500 elevates the performance further with a new-generation V-twin engine. It offers significantly enhanced torque output, unlocking greater freedom on the road. The advanced liquid-cooling system efficiently reduces rear-cylinder heat buildup, ensuring a more comfortable ride over long distances. With cutting-edge technology and optimized efficiency, the Chinchilla 500 embodies the powerful and unmistakable character of Benda’s V-twin platform.
