QJ Motor is one of the very large two-wheeler manufacturers in China. Correspondingly, the manufacturer presents itself with ever new models under ever new brand names. With the Chase 700, the Chinese have presented a model that also fits well into the model range of Benelli would fit.

The Chase 700 comes with a tubular steel bridge frame that integrates a parallel twin with a displacement of 693 cubic centimeters as a load-bearing element. The two-cylinder, which comes from the production of CF Moto and there in the CF Moto 700 CL-X is installed, develops 76 hp at 8,750 tours and delivers its maximum torque of 68.2 Nm at 6,250 rpm. This shows that the Chase is on par with a Yamaha MT-07, which it also emulates in terms of the overall concept.

Her 17 inch front wheel has an adjustable USD fork from KYB. The Japanese also provide the directly hinged central spring strut on the hindquarters. Bremspower supplies a double disc brake system with 320 discs in combination with Brembo four-piston calipers. A 260 disc works at the back. ABS is also on board.

The small lamp mask bundles two LED headlights in an insect look, and above it are two LED daytime running lights in a V shape. The lines of the tank-seat configuration are also strongly reminiscent of the Yamaha MT-07. An LC display in the cockpit provides information.

Should the Chase 700 actually come to Europe as a Benelli, it would be added to the model range Benelli 752 S. meeting that offers almost identical performance data and a similar overall concept. The 752 S, however, embeds its two-cylinder in a neat tubular space frame.
