The Benelli 300 is dynamic enough to not look like a vegetable on the road . Acceleration to hundreds in 6.5 seconds, but there is no excess power, which makes driving comfortable and safe.

Brand history

The STELS brand was created to add originality to the products being developed. The success of the brand concept is now confirmed by fairly wide popularity in Russia and abroad.

By producing high-quality products, Stels bicycles have earned the sympathy of both domestic buyers and recognized experts in the bicycle industry.

Currently, the company is the largest manufacturer of bicycles, not only in Russia, but also in Europe. The production of a large number of bicycles and scooters became possible thanks to the introduction of automated lines into the production process and regular modernization of production cycles.

The largest company Qianjiang Group, known for the high quality of its products, is the main partner of Velomotors in the production of motorcycle equipment.

Through the collective efforts of QJ and Velomotors design engineers, models of equipment with high reliability, excellent quality and an affordable price were designed.

A strong shift in production methods and manufacturing technologies was provided by the purchase by QJ GROUP of the eminent Benelli concern from Italy, which has almost 100 years of experience in the manufacture of motorcycles.

Good quality, reasonable prices, and an extensive range capable of satisfying the most sophisticated needs have made Stels motorcycles very popular among Russian residents over the past few years.

The acquisition of the Italian concern made it possible to begin production of the Benelli motorcycle line.

One of which is the Stels Benelli 300, with an engine capacity of 300 cubic centimeters and a power of 36 hp.

A motorcycle with a classic layout without a semi-fairing (naked) with a reduced proportion of plastic, the Stels Benelli 300 is perfect for both young people and older pilots.

However, the sporty appearance of the device, which encourages aggressive, fast driving, will be especially interesting to young people.

The motorcycle has good ergonomics, providing a comfortable fit; the steering wheel is conveniently located and allows you to keep your back straight.

The double seat is designed to freely accommodate one passenger. The motorcycle's curb weight is 196 kg, allowing you to feel confident on the road.

If we give a general assessment of the technical characteristics of the Suzuki Burgman 650, then it is rather a motorcycle, structurally made in the form of a scooter.

Motorcycle Stels 300 Benelli 2014 review

A motorcycle that is expected by many on the Russian market, the new product promises to bring down prices on the secondary motorcycle market, since it offers them an excellent alternative. Indeed, the price of the new Stels 300 Benelli promises to be at the level of 150,000 rubles, for a fresh model of a motorcycle with a fundamentally new Italian-designed engine and at the same time a simple but progressive suspension and a 300cc engine, which, according to the stated characteristics, does not lag behind the four hundred. This motorcycle is the golden mean between a beginner and an adult motorcycle in all aspects. It is not overly powerful, but at the same time very dynamic and beautiful. The curb weight of the Stels 300 Benelli is 185 kg, as a result of which the motorcycle does not blow away from oncoming trucks. And although a competitor in the same cubic capacity, the Kawasaki Ninja 300, has a maximum speed of 191 km/h, compared to the Stels 300 Benelli, you should not count on achieving speeds over 160 km/h, although it accelerates to 100 in 6.5 seconds.

Thanks to decent quality and reasonable prices, Stealth brand motorcycles have become very popular among Russians in recent years. The range of Stels motorcycles is so extensive that it can satisfy the needs of any buyer. The Stealth line includes light, medium and powerful models, as well as classic, sports and cross-country motorcycles.

presents in the middle-class motorcycle segment the Stels 300 Benelli bike, designed for beginner riders. The aggressive, sporty design of the motorcycle is especially attractive to young people, although the model is perfect for pilots of any age. The naked bike has thoughtful ergonomics, and the European appearance of the motorcycle provides a comfortable fit for riders of both medium and tall height. Externally, the Stels 300 Benelli bike resembles its “big brother”, Stels 600 Benelli. The motorcycle has an elongated two-seater seat designed to comfortably accommodate a passenger.

The Benelli prefix in the model name characterizes the motorcycle engine. The Stels 300 Benelli bike is equipped with a transverse 4-stroke two-cylinder engine with a displacement of 300 cc. cm and a power of 36 hp, which was created according to the developments of the Italian company Benelli. Benelli engines are distinguished by time-tested reliability, efficiency, high performance, and long service life.

Brakes are known to be the most important part of any vehicle. The Stels 300 Benelli bike has a front double-disc hydraulic handbrake operated by a lever located on the right side of the handlebar and a rear foot-operated single-disc hydraulic brake in the form of a pedal on the right.

The Stels 300 Benelli bike is massive - when equipped, its weight is 196 kg. The weight of the motorcycle is partly due to the presence of a fuel tank designed for 16 liters. The heaviness of the bike can be viewed from different perspectives. On the one hand, for a beginner, when learning how to control a motorcycle, it is better to use light equipment that can be actually picked up if it falls. But there is also a flip side to the coin - a heavy bike is more stable, and therefore the risk of it falling is minimized.

In general, the Stels 300 Benelli bike is a copy of the Stels 600 Benelli with a reduced cubic capacity. If you do not need a lot of engine power, but want to master the skills of controlling a bike and accelerating to a decent speed, this model is for you. The Stels 300 Benelli bike compares favorably with its older “relative” with a price that is approximately one and a half times less. For a novice biker, the motorcycle's power is quite sufficient to accelerate well, but at the same time, avoid the temptation to reach safety-critical speeds.

Choosing the first bike

Learning to operate a motorcycle should be taken very seriously, since any mistake can become a threat to the health and life of both the driver and other road users.
A motorcycle, in conditions of congested city roads, will be an excellent option for high-speed travel, but only on the condition that the rider has excellent command of technology. It is believed that the best motorcycles are made in Japan. Japanese motorcycles have excellent driving characteristics and the ability to gain breakneck speed. But, firstly, such speeds are unacceptable within the city, and secondly, it is extremely difficult for a novice pilot to control the aircraft at high speeds. Therefore, as your first bike, it is not at all necessary to purchase fast Japanese cars, which, on top of everything, are also quite expensive. Stealth is the brand that will allow you to buy a decent motorcycle at an affordable price.

The second rule is that when choosing, you should not focus on a powerful engine. A beginner can easily get by with more modest engine parameters. Even a 50 cc power unit will be enough to accelerate to 60 km/h - the maximum permissible speed in the city. Therefore, the 300 cc engine will serve as the best option not only for speed lovers who have not achieved perfection in control, but also for more experienced bikers.

When choosing a bike, you should immediately decide where you plan to ride it. It’s one thing if you don’t expect to travel outside the city, and quite another if you’re traveling long distances or traveling cross-country. The type of model – classic, sportbike, cruiser, etc. – will depend on the nature of the two-wheeled vehicle’s operation.

Motorcycle Stels

When choosing a motorcycle, you should also evaluate the comfort of the pilot. Models of bikes require different positions for the pilot behind the wheel. Some, for example, are designed for landing in a reclining position, which is not comfortable for everyone, and, in addition, requires habit and some experience. Here, it is worth mentioning that, like the human body, motorcycles differ in size and configuration. So, you will have to “try on” the bike for yourself in any case.

Another question that occupies novice bikers is which equipment to choose: new or used. Let us immediately note that there is no single correct solution in this regard, and everything depends on the specific situation. Of course, a new bike is what it is, new: fresh, polished, smelling of newness. Moreover, the new motorcycle has a warranty from the manufacturer and the possibility of regular technical inspection at the dealer.

On the other hand, a used motorcycle is not as painful to scratch as a new one. And scratches and other mechanical damage when learning to ride are inevitable. So, a used bike will not force you to be careful for fear of unnecessary damage, and it will cost less than a new one. At the same time, technology does not last forever, and it is difficult to guarantee that a used bike will not break down faster than you learn how to ride it properly. In any case, choosing a used motorcycle will require you to have good knowledge of motorcycle mechanics.

When buying your first motorcycle, keep in mind that you will also be required to pay additional expenses - vehicle registration and insurance, motorcycle equipment, maintenance, the cost of which depends on the class of the bike. If your choice falls on a secondary market item, immediately take care of finding a good motorcycle service center.

Specifications

Stels Benelli 300 is another guest from the Middle Kingdom, intended primarily for novice motorcyclists. However, it stands out from the whole horde of Chinese small-capacity motorcycles due to its very good technical characteristics. In the end, Chinese motorcycle manufacturers have long learned to diligently copy old Japanese engines and successful design ideas, but they rarely produce anything truly interesting, and usually in those cases when designers refuse blind copying and invent something of their own.

Stels Benelli 300 is exactly that case. Externally very similar to its “big brother” Stels Benelli 600, it looks fresh and modern. Moreover, the appearance of this motorcycle does not reek of anything “Chinese” at all, if we talk about stereotypes, and at the same time it does not try to be like its Japanese competitors, as, for example, the Genata GM250YZF-R does. The motorcycle looks, to be honest, very nice and modern. But, of course, the most interesting thing is not the appearance, but what is inside, although one cannot help but pay attention to the appearance.

Since the Stels Benelli 300 is an inexpensive and budget motorcycle, you shouldn’t expect any innovations here. However, after reading the sheet of its technical characteristics, you understand that this model is not inferior to similar budget models from Japanese manufacturers, or almost not inferior, while being sold for much more modest money. In addition, everything that is on this motorcycle is made very well and reliably, again dispelling the stereotype that everything Chinese is necessarily bad.

The frame of the motorcycle, of course, is steel - what else can you expect from an inexpensive small-capacity bike? But a quite decent 2-cylinder 8-valve injection engine is inserted into it. The maximum power of the Stels Benelli 300 is 37 hp. (at 11,500 rpm), maximum torque - 27 Nm (at 9,000 rpm). For dynamic driving, the engine must be “twisted”, since at low speeds it accelerates quite sluggishly, as you would expect from a 300 cc motorcycle. But upon reaching optimal speed, the dynamics of the Stealth begin to surprise and delight. The motorcycle can accelerate up to 160 km/h.

This is partly due to the completely modern 6-speed transmission. Yes, yes, this “Chinese” has six full gears. Considering the modest cubic capacity, this means that you will have to actively work with the gearbox foot when driving around the city, since the gears are quite short, but this technical solution adds dynamics. In general, the Stels Benelli 300 is quite capable of competing with, for example, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 - their acceleration dynamics are comparable.

Another plus in favor of this Chinese motorcycle is its excellent chassis. How many budget motorcycles can you name that can boast of an inverted fork? But the Stels Benelli 300 has just such a fork. A classic monoshock absorber is installed at the rear. The suspensions work well, however, if a passenger sits in the back, this immediately affects the behavior of the motorcycle in a negative way - the bike “sags” and handles noticeably worse. But this is, after all, a compact small-capacity car, not a luxury tourer.

The motorcycle weighs little; the curb weight of the Stels Benelli 300 is only 196 kg, and the dry weight is about 175 kg. The gas tank holds 16 liters of fuel, which is more than enough for any purpose - the “Chinese”’s gas consumption is low, and besides, it readily consumes AI-92, which is available at any gas station. The classic seating position is also pleasing, but a tall or particularly long-legged motorcyclist will most likely feel cramped on this example of the Chinese motorcycle industry. Even the aforementioned Stels Benelli 600 is not distinguished by its respectable dimensions, what can we say about its “younger brother”?

But for urban conditions, the nimble and sneaky Chinese motorcycle is perfect. It is ideal for weaving through traffic jams - lightweight, pleasant to drive and with sufficient traction for all necessary maneuvers, the Stels Benelli 300 will be an excellent vehicle for everyday driving. You just have to keep in mind that outside the city it still doesn’t have enough power reserves for overtaking, and it’s noticeably blown away by side winds, but as a motorcycle for the city it’s quite good. And it’s inexpensive, so it has every chance of taking away some of the potential buyers from Japanese manufacturers with their Yamaha YBR-125, Honda CB 250F and others.
