2026 Benda LFC700 in Starry Black Benda Motorcycles, which is based in Hangzhou, China and distributed in the U.S. by Keeway America, launched three cruisers in the U.S. market earlier this year. For its 2026 lineup, the brand is adding a larger, sporty muscle cruiser to its lineup, called the Benda LFC700.  Unlike the Chinchilla 300, Chinchilla 500, and Napoleon Bob 500, which are all powered by V-Twins, the LFC500 is powered by a liquid-cooled 677cc inline-Four. It has a compression ratio of 11.4:1, and the cylinders have a bore and stroke of 67 x 48mm. Max power is listed as 85 hp at 10,300 rpm, and max torque is 44 at 8,600 rpm.  2026 Benda LFC700 in Iron Veil The LFC700 features a cast-aluminum frame that uses the engine as a stressed member. Suspension includes a nonadjustable KYB fork and shock. Brakes are provided by Brembo and include dual 4-piston front calipers pinching 320mm discs, and ABS is standard.  Creating the muscle-cruiser stance of the LFC700 are a few factors. Notably, the rear wheel is a massive 310mm-wide unit more likely to be seen on a car than a motorcycle. The bike also has a long wheelbase of 67.7 inches. Its low-slung seat sits 27.4 inches above the ground, and the bike offers forward foot controls and bar-end mirrors. Curb weight is listed at 633 lb.  2026 Benda LFC700 in Misty Titanium The bike also comes with a 5-inch TFT display, traction control, and ride modes.  The 2026 Benda LFC700 will be available in Starry Black, Iron Veil, or Misty Titanium. Pricing has not yet been announced, but we’ll update this post as more information becomes available.
