Good news for bikers: Benda Unveils Cruiser with Massive 310mm Rear Tire for the U.S. Market
Chinese manufacturer Benda is preparing to launch the LFC700 in the United States — a motorcycle featuring the widest rear tire ever fitted to a production bike.
Chinese motorcycle maker Benda is gearing up to introduce its LFC700 cruiser to the U.S. market. The model has already been submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for certification for the 2026 model year.
The LFC700’s standout feature is its 310/35-18 rear tire, which is even wider than the rubber found on the Ducati Diavel and Triumph Rocket 3. Power comes from a 676cc inline-four engine producing between 79 and 92 horsepower, depending on the market, with 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque.
The bike rides on a cast-aluminum frame with a 1720mm (67.7-inch) wheelbase. Braking duties are handled by twin 320mm front discs with Brembo four-piston calipers, and a 260mm rear disc. Suspension components include 41mm KYB forks with compression adjustment and a rear monoshock that’s also adjustable. Curb weight comes in at 287 kg (633 lbs), and the seat height is 27.4 inches (696 mm).
Benda also offers a Pro version equipped with an air-adjustable rear shock, allowing the seat height to vary between 25.6 and 28.7 inches (650–729 mm). The Pro model uses a slightly narrower 300/35-18 rear tire.
In the U.K., the base model is priced at £9,199, and U.S. pricing is expected to come in under $12,000.
