The Benda Napoleon Bob 500 is a modern-retro bobber-style cruiser that blends vintage design cues with contemporary engineering. Ideal for riders who appreciate classic motorcycle aesthetics—such as a minimalist body, round headlamp, and exposed frame—paired with modern conveniences like LED lighting and digital instrumentation. This model suits urban commuters and weekend riders seeking a relaxed, stylish ride with accessible ergonomics and manageable seat height. It’s especially appealing to those entering the mid-capacity cruiser segment, offering a distinctive look without sacrificing everyday usability.
In Malaysia, the Napoleon Bob 500 is offered as a single-seat cruiser powered by a 475.6 cc liquid-cooled V‑twin engine delivering approximately 47 hp at 8,800 rpm and 42 Nm of torque at 6,700 rpm. It features a six-speed gearbox with slipper clutch and belt final drive. Suspension comprises upside-down telescopic forks with scabbard-style covers and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Braking includes front and rear hydraulic discs with dual-channel ABS and traction control. The bike rides on 16‑inch alloy wheels (150/80 front, 180/65 rear) and weighs around 215 kg, with a 16‑litre fuel tank, low 695 mm seat height, and 150 mm ground clearance. Available in Black and Grey, it launched in late 2024 with a starting price of RM 27,888 (excluding road tax, insurance, and registration), backed by a two‑year unlimited‑mileage warranty.
