hitting global markets in 2026, with production now underway and dealers preparing for deliveries. European releases are expected in late 2026, following its EICMA debut and factory production start.
Australian riders, long familiar with the popular TRK 502 and more recently the larger TRK 702 series— the latter arriving in local showrooms in mid-2024 after preorders opened earlier in the year— can reasonably expect the TRK 602 X to follow a similar pattern of availability. The TRK 702 and TRK 702X reached Benelli dealerships in Australia in late-May 2024, illustrating how new TRK models typically filter into the Australian market several months after their global launch.
Based on this and Benelli’ s global timetable, local availability of the TRK 602 X in Australia is likely to be sometime in late 2026 or early 2027, once homologation, logistics and Australian Design Rules compliance are completed. While exact local pricing and detailed launch timing have yet to be announced, the TRK 602 X’ s arrival is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated mid-capacity adventure motorcycle launches in recent years, especially for riders looking for a balanced mix of performance, technology and value in a globally competitive segment.
