BENELLI TNT 899S (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Benelli TNT 899S, a sporty road motorcycle that mainly addressed those riders searching for a zero-compromise bike when it came to performance.

The Benelli TNT was a road motorcycle derived from the Tornado Tre 900 super sports motorcycle, which was presented in 2004 and continued production until 2016. It was made In different versions with different displacements.

The bike's TNT designation was an acronym for "Tornado Naked Tre." Tornado came from its engine and frame derived from its faired sister, Naked from the lack of fairings, and Tre from its three-cylinder engine. In addition, it packed the same frame as the Tornado Tre model but a different swingarm.

The 2007 S version packed standard features, such as a fork-mounted headlight, side panels with integrated turn signals, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a three-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted under the seat, and five-spoke alloy wheels.

The bike was made around a steel and aluminum frame with a 50 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and a preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

Regarding power, the 2007 Benelli TNT 899S was set in motion by an 899cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 120 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 88 Nm (65 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
