KatadataOTO – Benelli Motor Indonesia successfully captured the attention of visitors at IIMS (Indonesia International Motor Show) 2025. This is because they just launched two new motorcycles at once.
Each from the Keeway and Benda brands. All of them have a very unique appearance.
The Keeway Gleiten offers a chopper-style motorcycle. It features the characteristic high handlebars at the front.
Then a rounded shape on the side, combined with the low seating position typical of a chopper motorcycle.
“We want to offer something new for the entry-level market in Indonesia by presenting the Keeway Gleiten,” said Steven Kentjana, Director of PT Benelli Motor Indonesia at IIMS 2025 some time ago.
Steven explained that his new product relies on a 125 cc engine. It produces 8 hp at 8,000 rpm and 7.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Making it even more unique, the two-wheeled vehicle uses an automatic or CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
If you intend to buy it, the price of the Keeway Gleiten 125 cc is around Rp 27.9 million OTR (On The Road) for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta.
As for the second motorcycle, Benelli is marketing the Benda Napoleon Bob 250. It is the younger sibling of the Napoleon Bob 500.
Thus, both motorcycles have a nearly identical appearance, but with a cruiser theme.
This can be seen from the long wheelbase, low and floating seat, rounded tank, and forward footpeg position.
However, the most interesting part of the Benda Napoleon Bob 250 is the front suspension, which uses a multi-link model.
As for the engine, the two-wheeled vehicle carries a 250 cc liquid-cooled V-twin two-cylinder engine.
The aforementioned engine is claimed to be able to produce 25.83 hp at 9,000 rpm. Then, the peak torque reaches 25 Nm at 5,500 rpm.
All its power is channeled to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission.
For the wheels, it uses 18-inch rims with a 130/80 tire at the front. Meanwhile, the rear uses an 18-inch rim wrapped in a 160/70 tire.
There are a number of modern features on the Benda Napoleon Bob 250, such as a digital TFT meter panel, Slipper Clutch, and Traction Control System.
This motorcycle can already be ordered at IIMS 2025, with a price tag of around Rp 82.8 million in Jakarta and its surrounding areas.
