The trellis frame gives a tuned amount of flex (acting as part of the suspension system at high lean angles) which gives incredible feel and precision, giving the rider supreme confidence.

• FRONT SUSPENSION

In the front, the beefy 41 mm USD forks, finely tuned suspension geometry and tuned flex from its steel trellis upper frame give precise yet stable handling.

• REAR SUSPENSION

In the rear, a laterally mounted shock absorber with adjustable pre-load controls a super rigid, braced swingarm. This accommodates a wide variety of rider weights, and gives the superior suspension feel that Benelli has been know for.

• ENGINE

Cooling is via air/oil and power is put down through a 5 speed gearbox. Like all TNT engines, it offers plenty of smooth, controllable power. It’s just the thing for trolling through the city, or carving your way down an empty back road.
