BENELLI TNT 1130R (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Benelli TNT was a line of motorcycles derived from the Tornado Tre 900. The TNT designation was an acronym for "Tornado Naked Tre," Tornado came from the engine and chassis derived from its faired sibling, Naked denoted its lack of fairings, and Tre from its three-cylinder engine.

Although the frame was identical to the one of the Tornado Tre model, the swingarm was different. The bike was sold in two displacements, 1130 and 899cc, with different designations, like Sport, Sport EVO, Cafe Racer, Titanium, R160, R, 899, and Century Racer.

In 2013, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Benelli TNT 1130R, a motorcycle created by Benelli engineers for those riders who wanted a zero-compromise bike for performance.

As for power, the 2013 Benelli TNT 1130R had installed a 1,130cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine mounted at its core, delivering 158 hp with a peak at 10,200 rpm and 121 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque at 8,400 rpm.

The bike's braking power was handled by two 320 mm brake rotors with four-piston calipers mounted on the front wheel and a single 240 mm brake disc with a dual-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel.

As for the visual department, the bike was characterized by standard features, such as a fork-mounted headlight, a small wind deflector, a two-piece dual seat, a three-into-one exhaust system with an under-seat silencer, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
