Design and Style
The Benda Napoleon Bob 500 stands out with its distinctive and muscular design. It carries the true essence of a bobber with a low-slung frame, wide handlebars, and a single floating seat.
The teardrop-shaped fuel tank and short fenders give it a retro vibe, while the LED lighting setup adds a modern touch. The combination of matte black and metallic accents enhances its premium appeal. The bike’s proportions and detailing are designed to grab attention wherever it goes.
Engine and Performance
Under the tank, the Napoleon Bob 500 packs a 475.6cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivers around 47 horsepower and 42 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a smooth 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch and a belt drive system for effortless power delivery.
The hybrid of vintage looks and modern mechanics gives it a unique riding character — smooth in traffic yet powerful on open roads. Its top speed of nearly 150 km/h and refined throttle response make it an enjoyable machine for long rides.
Ride and Handling
Benda has focused on comfort and stability while designing the Napoleon Bob 500. The low 695 mm seat height ensures that even shorter riders feel confident. The telescopic front forks and adjustable rear mono-shock suspension provide a balanced and comfortable ride over various road conditions. With a kerb weight of around 215 kg, the bike feels solid on highways yet manageable in the city.
Braking and Safety
Safety is well taken care of with a 320 mm front disc brake and a 260 mm rear disc brake, supported by dual-channel ABS for confident stopping power. The wide tyres offer excellent grip, while traction control enhances stability on slippery surfaces. These features make the Napoleon Bob 500 a safe and reliable cruiser for everyday rides.
Price
The 2025 Benda Napoleon Bob 500 is priced at around $6,399 (approximately ₹5.3 lakh in India) and RM 27,888 in Malaysia. This aggressive pricing makes it one of the most affordable V-twin bobbers in its class.
