LFC 700 PRO (MY2026)

Chinese Muscle, Chopper Soul

The Machine's Character

A cruiser built around an inline-four: that's the whole point of Benda's LFC 700 PRO. The 677 cc liquid-cooled four makes 86 hp at 10,300 rpm and sits in an aluminum twin-spar frame, finished off with a 300-section rear tire on an 18-inch wheel. That's sportbike-derived hardware under black-and-gold muscle cruiser bodywork. The equipment list runs deep: upside-down fork, electronic suspension, ABS, traction control, and a TFT display with smartphone connectivity and navigation. With a 27.3 in (693 mm) seat, it sits low. Exactly as a cruiser should be.

Read the numbers and the intent is clear. Peak torque of 44 lb-ft arrives at 8,600 rpm, so on paper this engine is built to rev rather than lug. The upright posture, mid-forward foot controls, adjustable seat height and 4.5 gal (17 L) tank point to real distance, not just a run down the boulevard. The known-issues record shows what the look costs: the oversized rear tire limits agility in corners, the rear brake offers little for mid-corner corrections, and low-speed fuelling is abrupt. This is a bike for you if you buy with your eyes, want four cylinders, and accept the trade. It's a showpiece first.

A long, straight paved road stretches toward the horizon through agricultural fields in Vermont. Power lines and a mailbox are visible along the roadside. Lush green vegetation, cumulus clouds, good daylight conditions. The landscape is flat to gently rolling. Asphalt pavement appears to be in good condition. Rural American setting.

  • Handling difficulties due to oversized rear tire

    chassis common

    The wide rear tire contributes to very difficult cornering and limited agility, significantly impacting handling precision.

  • Throttle response and low-speed fuelling issues
