2026 Benda Rock 250 CVT First Look: 10 Automatic Fast Facts

The move to cater to new riders who may not be familiar with a clutch or gear shifting continues with the 2026 Benda Rock 250 CVT. As the name reveals, this contemporary cruiser motorcycle features a fully automatic transmission. While specs are sparse, that won’t stop us from telling you what we know about this beginner-friendly ride.

2026 Benda Rock 250 CVT First Look: V-twin

  1. CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission. A belt-and-pulley design changes the ratio of the engine speed to the bike’s velocity automatically. There’s no clutch to pull or gears to shift. It’s a technology typically used on scooters. Final drive is also belt.
  1. The motor is a 249cc V-twin. The liquid-cooled powerplant is slightly undersquare, with each cylinder featuring a 53.5mm bore and 55.4mm stroke. Each head has three valves and a compression ratio of 11.8:1, and traction control is standard.

  1. The 2026 Benda Rock 250 CVT puts out enough power to hit a claimed 80 mph. It develops nearly 26 horsepower at 9000 rpm and over 18 lb-ft of torque at 5500 rpm.
  1. The seat height is 28.3 inches, and the curb weight is 454 pounds. That will make the Rock 250 accessible for most adults.

  1. The wheelbase is a roomy five feet even. We don’t have rake or tail numbers.

  1. The wheelset is unusual. There’s a 16-inch front and 15-inch rear. CST rubber is employed. A 130/90 is in the front, and a 150/80 puts the power to the ground.
  1. Disc brakes are employed at both ends of the 2026 Benda Rock 250 CVT. We don’t know the disc sizes, and the calipers are unbranded. ABS is standard.
