BENELLI TNT 1130 Naked (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Benelli TNT 1130 Naked, a naked motorcycle, as its name suggests, with an aggressive stance powered by a 1,130cc three-cylinder engine.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, like a dual headlight system, aggressive side panels, a two-piece dual seat, a tree-into-one exhaust system with a muffler under the seat, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

The motorcycle's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm brake discs on the front and a 240 mm brake disc on the rear. The front ones were coupled to four-piston calipers, and the rear was tied to a dual-piston caliper.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 50 mm inverted Marzocchi fork with 120 mm of travel on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 115 mm of travel, offering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the power figures, the 2004 Benelli TNT 1130 Naked boasted 135 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm coming from a 1,130cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine fed by a fuel injection system.

The engine was married to a six-speed transmission with a wet multi-plate manual clutch that sent the power to the rear via a final chain drive, launching the bike to a maximum speed of 243 kph (151 mph).
