Benda was the first Chinese brand to implement TCS (Traction Control System) and slipper clutch technology in cruisers. The TCS system significantly enhances riding safety, while the slipper clutch provides smoother gear shifts and better control, reducing drag during shifting and enhancing the overall riding experience. In addition, Benda integrates electronic throttle control and idle shutdown technology to reduce engine heat and improve efficiency.

The V4 cruiser reaches a top speed of 145 km/h (around 90 mph).

A V4 engine uses a more compact V-shaped cylinder layout, which can help shorten the wheelbase and improve weight distribution—ideal for cruisers or performance-focused bikes. Inline-4 engines, on the other hand, are longer and often provide smoother, high-revving performance, which makes them common in sport and touring bikes. Benda develops both types depending on the riding experience we want to deliver—V4 for compact power with character, and inline engines for smooth and linear performance.

V4 engines are typically found in large-displacement motorcycles. They offer smooth power delivery, good high-speed stability, and strong performance. However, they also tend to be more complex, heavier, and more expensive to manufacture and maintain than simpler engine types like parallel twins or singles. At BENDA, we wanted more riders—including those new to cruisers—to experience the unique feel of a V4. So we developed V4 engines for mid- and small-displacement motorcycles. This makes BENDA one of the few manufacturers in the world focused on advancing small-displacement V4 technology, helping more people enjoy its benefits without the bulk or high cost of larger bikes.
