For 2026, Benelli redefines the upper edge of the 828U over/under platform with the introduction of three all-new 828U SuperSport A.I. models—shaped by modern Italian engineering tradition and driven by an uncompromising pursuit of performance where expectations are highest.
Developed as the ultimate over/under clay-crusher, the 828U SuperSport A.I. is built around Benelli’s Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel technology— a decisive advancement that delivered tighter shot strings and patterns with up to 50 percent deeper penetration and increased velocity compared to conventional shotgun barrels. The result is unmistakable authority, even as targets stretch distance, speed, and difficulty.
This evolution of the 828U platform marks the first appearance of Benelli’s signature “SuperSport” configuration in the Over/Under series, pairing modern materials with unmistakable Italian refinement. A brushed nickel-plated steel receiver, carbon-fiber wrapped stock and forend, gloss blue barrel finish, and nickel-accented trigger create a restrained yet commanding aesthetic; while Benelli’s ComforTech 3 and Combtech recoil-reduction systems are seamlessly integrated to maintain composure through long sessions and punishing conditions.
The ComforTech 3 system utilizes shock-absorbing chevrons that transform the stock into a dynamic recoil-management structure, while Combtech cheek inserts significantly reduce recoil impact to the face—allowing shooters to remain settled, balanced, and unwavering as the day wears on.
The 828U SuperSport A.I. series includes two 12-gauge models with 3-inch chambers, available in 30-inch or 32-inch barrel lengths, as well as a 20-gauge 3-inch model featuring 30-inch A.I. barrels. Additional features include a steel receiver, steel extractors, steel ported barrels with Crio A.I. chokes in C, IC, M, IM, and F, along with a red-bar front sight.
MSRP for the Benelli 828U SuperSport A.I. is $4,599.
