Design & Features

Meanwhile, the company will offer a muscular fuel tank, LED headlamp with DRLs, Leoncino badging on the side panels, etc. on the all-new Leoncino 800 as well as the Leoncino 800 Trail. However, the Leoncino 800 Trail is more of an offroad oriented motorcycle.

On the other hand, the Trail variant gets Marzocchi setup both at the front as well as rear. Meanwhile, it comes equipped with a 19-inch tire at the front unlike the Leoncino 800 that gets 17-inch wheels at either end.
