What is the Benda Rock 707?
The Rock 707 is a newly launched middleweight cruiser from Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Benda. The cruiser is positioned as a flagship model of the brand’s “Rock” lineup. The motorcycle combines classic cruiser proportions built on a modern 692cc V-twin platform, aimed at riders looking for classic cruiser characteristics with modern amenities.
What colours and design options are available?
The Benda Rock 707 blends a classic cruiser aesthetic with modern lines such as a low seat, muscular tank and exposed V‑twin, with contemporary touches like compact tail section styling and modern LED lighting. Riders can choose to remove the pillion seat, giving it a more Bobber esque aesthetics.
The Rock 707 is offered in four paint schemes: Knight Black, Sandy Grey, Windy White and Armour Green.
What type of frame, suspension and braking hardware is offered?
The Benda Rock 707 is built on a cradle‑type tubular steel frame paired with an aluminium swingarm, giving it a conventional cruiser chassis layout. Suspension duties are handled by an upside‑down fork at the front, and a dual‑chamber electronically controlled air suspension at the rear, which automatically adjusts ride height and firmness based on load and road conditions.
Braking hardware consists of a single 320 mm front disc with a radially mounted four‑piston calliper and a 260 mm rear disc with a radially mounted two‑piston calliper.
What are the key features?
The Benda Rock 707’s key features centre on two headline technologies plus a modern electronics and comfort package. The two headline technologies are an adaptive dual-chamber air rear suspension and BEC MK-III electronic clutch. Along with other comfort features such as:
- 3.6‑inch TFT instrument cluster
- Electronic ride-by-wire throttle
- Dual Channel ABS
- Traction Control
- LED Lighting
- Optional chrome‑plated aluminium luggage rack
- USB‑A and USB‑C charging ports
- Cruise Control
What are the engine and performance figures?
The heart of the Rock 707 is an in‑house developed 692 cc, 60° V‑twin engine with eight valves, liquid cooling and electronic fuel injection. This 692 cc V-twin produces about 71 hp at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a six‑speed gearbox and a toothed belt final drive.
What is the BEC MK‑III electronic clutch?
The BEC MK‑III is Benda’s third‑generation electronically controlled clutch system. The BEC MK‑III aims to make the Rock 707 easier to ride in stop‑and‑go traffic and on long highway stints by reducing clutch effort. It allows riders to upshift and downshift without pulling the clutch lever.
