BENDA has unveiled the Bluestone 500 R2 and Supernovae 1000 DL at EICMA, with both models scheduled to enter the EU market in Q1 2027. Expanding BENDA’s European powersports range, the ATV and UTV are designed around the practical demands of work and recreation. From the compact, manoeuvrable Bluestone 500 R2 to the full-cabin Supernovae 1000 DL, both models combine purposeful design with the capability, carrying capacity and comfort needed for demanding days of work.
Essentials that Work
Bluestone introduces a dedicated utility ATV family with a clear focus on working capability and the essentials of getting the job done. While the Redstone family brings together performance, comfort, and recreational versatility, Bluestone focuses on practical functionality and equipment designed for demanding working environments. Its design reduces outer layering to make functional elements more visible, integrating bumpers, front and rear racks, a winch and lighting into a purposeful working package. Beneath the bodywork, high-strength frame materials, selected aluminium components, cooling ducts and two-stage filtration support its functional design philosophy, captured in the guiding principle, “Essentials That Work.”
The Bluestone 500 R2 takes a more compact approach, pairing a 448.5cc V-twin engine with selectable two-wheel and four-wheel drive, front and rear differential locks, electric power steering, and an integrated winch. Its narrower dimensions and 3-metre turning radius make manoeuvrability a central asset of its proposition, while heated handlebars and a heated seat add comfort in colder conditions.
Designed by BENDA’s European Design Centre, the Bluestone 500 R2 takes a more direct approach to ATV design. It is the lightest and most compact ATV in the BENDA range, sitting below the Redstone family as an accessible entry into the brand’s V-twin ATV line-up. Its design follows the simple principle of a rugged, functional machine without unnecessary decoration. Power comes from a 448.5cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine producing 32 kW (44 PS) and 42 Nm of torque. Selectable two- and four-wheel drive, electrically engageable front and rear differential locks, and three-level electric power steering provide flexibility across different working and recreational conditions.
The Bluestone 500 R2 also comes equipped with an integrated 1.134kg electric winch, front and rear load racks, ABS, Matrix LED lighting, a 5-inch TFT display, heated handlebars, and a heated seat. With a 218kg payload capacity and braked towing capacity of 790kg, it combines a compact footprint with practical everyday utility.
Big Tasks. Accomplished Days.
The Supernovae 1000 takes BENDA’s design-led approach into the utility side-by-side vehicle segment. Created by BENDA’s global design leadership, the model carries forward the futuristic design language seen in the Redstone 550 R2 and Redstone 1000 R2, translating it into a practical vehicle developed for work and recreation.
The Supernovae 1000 DL brings a fully enclosed cabin to BENDA’s utility vehicle range, combining a futuristic design with features intended for demanding working environments. Its cabin includes electric windows, an electric front windscreen, electric wipers and a standard heater blower, helping make extended periods behind the wheel more comfortable.
Its 997.1cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine produces 72 kW (99 PS) at 7.500 rpm, and 103 Nm at 5.000 rpm, with the vehicle’s utility-focused package designed to prioritise usable pulling power alongside outright performance. A 450kg cargo box, 1.150kg towing capability, 2.041kg electric winch and multiple storage areas provide practical capacity for transporting equipment and handling everyday tasks.
Further features include three-mode electric power steering, 254mm of suspension travel and more than 340mm of ground clearance. The fully enclosed DL is displayed at EICMA alongside the ET version, which features half doors, with both configurations planned for the European market.
Expanding BENDA’s powersports offering
The arrival of the Bluestone 500 R2 and Supernovae 1000 DL broadens BENDA’s European offering with two vehicles developed around different needs. Both models have completed EU homologation and are expected to reach the European market between the end of 2026 and Q1 2027. Further details on availability and pricing will be announced closer to launch.
Unleash the Ride.
