Since its debut, the BENDA Chinchilla family has followed a clear mission: bringing the joy of cruiser riding to more riders through distinctive design, approachable performance, and innovative engineering. From traditional V-Twin cruisers to groundbreaking CVT-equipped models, the Chinchilla lineup continues to redefine what an entry point into the cruiser world can be.
Chinchilla 300: Where the Journey Began
Introduced in 2019, the Chinchilla 300 marked the beginning of the family and quickly established itself as a unique offering in the market. At a time when small-displacement V-Twin cruisers were rare in the domestic market, BENDA set out to create a motorcycle that combined authentic cruiser proportions, a full V-Twin engine, and an approachable riding experience.
With its long-wheelbase silhouette, relaxed ergonomics, and accessible price point, the Chinchilla 300 introduced a new generation of riders to the cruiser lifestyle and laid the foundation for the entire Chinchilla family.
Chinchilla 500: More Power, More Presence
Building on the success of the 300, BENDA expanded the platform with the Chinchilla 500. Designed for riders seeking stronger performance and greater long-distance capability, the 500 features a larger-displacement V-Twin engine with enhanced torque delivery and a more commanding road presence.
Wider tires, smaller-diameter wheels, a distinctive V-Twin exhaust note, and a comfortable split-seat configuration further elevate the riding experience, making the Chinchilla 500 a comprehensive mid-displacement cruiser for everyday rides and weekend escapes alike.
Chinchilla 125: Cruiser Freedom for a New Generation
The Chinchilla 125 brings the signature styling and relaxed character of the Chinchilla family into the highly competitive 125cc category. Built upon the design foundation of the Chinchilla 300 and powered by a 125cc engine, it offers an authentic cruiser experience while remaining accessible to a wider range of riders.
In many European countries, 125cc motorcycles represent an important gateway into motorcycling. Depending on local regulations, they can often be ridden with an A1 license or, in some markets, with additional training alongside a standard car license. As a result, the segment attracts young riders, urban commuters, and newcomers looking for an approachable introduction to two-wheel mobility.
Chinchilla 350 CVT: A New Chapter in Automatic Cruising
The Chinchilla 350 CVT represents one of BENDA’s most innovative interpretations of the modern cruiser. By combining a V-Twin engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it delivers smooth, uninterrupted power without traditional gear changes, making cruiser riding easier and more intuitive than ever.
The lightweight chassis, responsive low-end torque, and rider-focused electronic safety features create a motorcycle that feels equally at home in urban environments and on open roads. Since its introduction, the Chinchilla 350 CVT Neo version has been gaining strong popularity across European and other international markets, attracting both new riders and experienced cruiser enthusiasts looking for a fresh riding experience.
Chinchilla 250 CVT: Breaking the Routine
As the latest addition to the family, the Chinchilla 250 CVT further lowers the barrier to cruiser ownership and represents BENDA’s vision of next-generation automatic cruising.
Powered by a V-Twin engine paired with a seamless CVT transmission, the motorcycle delivers smooth acceleration, strong low-end torque, and effortless operation. Riders simply twist the throttle and focus on the road ahead, whether navigating busy city streets or enjoying a relaxed weekend journey.
The Chinchilla 250 CVT is preparing to enter Southeast Asian markets.
Returning to the Pure Joy of Cruising
Across every generation, the Chinchilla family has remained committed to exploring new possibilities within the cruiser segment. Rather than simply following convention, each model seeks meaningful innovation while preserving the relaxed spirit that defines cruiser riding.
Whether through accessible V-Twin performance, rider-friendly ergonomics, or pioneering CVT technology, the Chinchilla family continues to create new pathways into the world of cruising—allowing more riders to experience the freedom, confidence, and enjoyment that come with every journey.
