Overview

Introducing the 2017 Benelli TNT 600, a striking naked bike that embodies Italian flair and engineering prowess. Positioned as a middleweight contender in the competitive motorcycle market, the TNT 600 offers a thrilling blend of performance, comfort, and style for riders seeking both daily commuting and spirited weekend rides. With its aggressive stance and sharp lines, this model stands out as a unique alternative within its category, appealing to those who crave individuality and excitement on two wheels. At the heart of the TNT 600 lies a robust 600cc inline-four engine that delivers a spirited 80.5 horsepower at 11,500 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration and an engaging ride. The engine’s remarkable torque output of 52 Nm at 10,500 RPM provides a robust mid-range punch, making it responsive in a variety of riding conditions. The liquid-cooled powerplant, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, ensures smooth shifting and a seamless power delivery, allowing riders to unleash its full potential with confidence. With a compressed ratio of 11.5:1, the TNT 600 strikes a perfect balance between spirited performance and efficiency, making it equally suited for urban landscapes and open highways. The TNT 600 is packed with features that enhance both its performance and rider experience. The bassinet frame not only contributes to its eye-catching design but also provides superior stability and handling. An upside-down front fork and a telescopic rear suspension system work in harmony to absorb bumps and ensure a smooth ride, even on less-than-perfect roads. Safety is prioritized with double disc brakes in the front and a single disc at the rear, offering impressive stopping power when you need it most. Plus, the electric starter ensures easy ignition, while the variety of color options—black/red, white/red, and green—allows riders to express their personal style. **
