Designed for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a lightweight, nimble ride, the TNT 135 offers a vibrant mix of Italian flair and Chinese craftsmanship. With its aggressive styling, modern technology, and vibrant color options, this bike stands out on the streets, making it an attractive option for urban commuting, weekend adventures, or simply zipping around town. At the heart of the TNT 135 is its lively 134.7 ccm engine, which delivers a torque of 10.8 Nm at 7000 RPM, ensuring a responsive ride that retains a playful spirit. The 4-valve fuel-injected setup, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, allows for seamless gear changes and a thrilling acceleration that promises to keep riders grinning. The bike's lightweight frame, tipping the scales at only 116 kg (255.7 lbs), combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1075 HP/kg, makes it agile and fun to maneuver through tight corners and city traffic. The oil and air cooling system maintains optimal engine temperatures, ensuring consistent performance during longer rides. The Benelli TNT 135 is equipped with a range of modern features that enhance both comfort and safety. The telescopic forks at the front provide 120 mm of travel, while the rear suspension is oil-damped to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrains. Stopping power is assured with a robust braking system that includes a 220 mm single disc at the front and a 190 mm disc at the rear, both managed by responsive 2-piston calipers. Additional conveniences like electric start, a comfortable seat height of 780 mm, and a fuel capacity of 7.20 litres ensure that this minibike is not just fun, but also practical and user-friendly for everyday use. **

Pros
