With its robust presence and sharp aesthetics, this bike is designed not just to turn heads, but to dominate the streets with confidence and flair. At the heart of the TNT 1130 R lies a powerful 1131cc in-line three-cylinder engine, which delivers a staggering 158 horsepower at 10,200 RPM and a torque of 120 Nm at 8,400 RPM. This engine, with its 12.5:1 compression ratio and precise fuel injection system, offers a thrilling acceleration that is both exhilarating and addictive.

The TNT 1130 R is not just about raw power; it also boasts a host of features and advanced technology. Its decomposable frame combines a sturdy steel trestle front with a lightweight aluminum alloy rear, ensuring both resilience and performance. The suspension system includes a 50 mm upside-down Marzocchi fork at the front and a Sachs rear shock, both of which are fully adjustable for rebound, compression, and preload. Coupled with double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, the bike offers exceptional stopping power when you need it most. With a fuel capacity of 16 liters, riders can enjoy extended journeys without frequent stops, making it a versatile choice for both everyday commutes and weekend adventures. **
