BENELLI TNT 899 Café Racer (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Benelli TNT 899 Cafe Racer, a middle-weight motorcycle that started to make its way into the European market, offering all the goodies provided by the Italian brand.

The bike was unveiled at the 2009 EICMA Show and was presented with a gold Marzocchi front fork, 320 mm front brake discs squeezed by Brembo calipers, and an 899cc three-cylinder engine with upgraded components.

The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by standard features, such as a fork-mounted headlight with a small wind deflector, a single seat, a three-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted under the seat, and five-spoke allow wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm inverted Marzocchi telescopic fork with 120 mm travel on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 120 mm travel, offering excellent handling and suspension performance.

The braking power was achieved by dual 320 mm brake rotors clamped by four-piston Brembo calipers on the front and a 240 mm brake disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear.

In terms of performance, the 2010 Benelli TNT 899 Cafe Racer had its soul brought to life by an 899cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, delivering 118 hp with a peak at 9,500 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
