New Ride

The proportions of Benelli’s new scrambler Leoncino look similar to the Ducati, but there are differences in powertrain and other features. The Leoncino boasts a 500 cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. Built on a trellis frame, it gets USD forks and a monoshock with preload adjustment at the rear. ABS comes standard and, true to scrambler tradition, there are knobblies and spoke wheels as well.

Bling it on!

Montegrappa’s Ca$h Pen takes a wry look at the culture of bling. As showy as a stretch limo, only pocket-sized, it features a cap and barrel adorned with raised dollar signs. Available in three trim colours—palladium, rose gold and all-black ruthenium—as accents to the black barrel and cap. The Ca$h Pen is available as a fountain pen with a choice of three nib writing grades, a rollerball and a twist-action ballpoint. Even the packaging speaks of excess: A box that looks like a stack of $100 bills!
