Moto Morini X-Cape, Seiemmezzo, & Benelli 502C prices unchanged despite GST hike
Under the recently rationalised GST rates, bikes with a displacement above 350 cc now attract a 40 per cent tax, as opposed to 31 per cent earlier. However, the company has decided to absorb the price hike.
Adishwar Auto Ride India (AARI), the Indian distributor for Moto Morini and Benelli motorcycles, has announced it won’t be hiking prices across its premium bikes despite the GST hike. Under the recently rationalised GST rates, bikes with a displacement above 350 cc now attract a 40 per cent tax, as opposed to 31 per cent earlier. This means the Moto Morini X-Cape and Seiemmezzo range, and the Benelli 502C will not receive a hike in prices.

AARI says it will be absorbing the impact of the tax revision during the festive season, thereby protecting its customers from the 9 per cent hike on premium motorcycles. That said, prices of the Benelli Leoncino 500, TRK 502 and TRK 502 X have been revised. The revised prices are now applicable across the brand’s dealerships across the country.
