Overview

Introducing the 2015 Benelli TNT 899, a striking representation of Italian design and engineering in the naked bike category. With its aggressive styling and muscular stance, the TNT 899 stands out in a crowded market dominated by both seasoned brands and newcomers alike. Benelli has carved out a niche for itself, offering riders a unique blend of performance, style, and an intoxicating riding experience that sets it apart from the competition. Whether you’re gliding through city streets or carving up twisty mountain roads, the TNT 899 promises an exhilarating ride that motorcycle enthusiasts can’t resist. At the heart of the TNT 899 lies an in-line three-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 899cc, delivering a robust 120 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a torque output of 88 Nm at 8,000 RPM. This powerful engine configuration not only provides thrilling acceleration but also ensures a smooth and responsive ride. The liquid-cooled powerplant is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, allowing for quick gear changes and a dynamic riding experience. Riders will appreciate the 12.5:1 compression ratio and the efficient fuel injection system with three throttle bodies, which contribute to an engaging throttle response that brings the road to life beneath you. The balanced weight distribution, coupled with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5854 HP/kg, enhances maneuverability and stability, making the TNT 899 a joy to ride in various conditions. The Benelli TNT 899 is packed with features and technology that elevate its performance and comfort. Its decomposable frame combines a robust steel trestle front with a lightweight aluminum alloy rear, ensuring both durability and agility. The suspension system features a Ø43 mm upside-down fork at the front and a progressive rear dumper, both of which are fully adjustable for compression, extension, and spring preload, allowing riders to tailor the ride to their preferences. Stopping power is provided by double floating wave discs at the front and a single wave disc at the rear, ensuring confident braking performance. The bike's sleek design is complemented by a selection of striking color options, including white, black, and red, making a statement wherever you go. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The 899cc three-cylinder engine delivers impressive power and torque, ensuring exhilarating performance on both the highway and winding roads.
  • Customizable Suspension: Fully adjustable front and rear suspension allows for personalized tuning, providing an optimal riding experience tailored to individual preferences.
  • Stylish Design: The aggressive naked bike styling is visually striking and commands attention, appealing to riders who value aesthetics as much as performance.

Cons

  • Weight: At 205 kg (451.9 lbs), the TNT 899 is on the heavier side compared to some of its rivals, which may affect agility in tight corners.
  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 830 mm (32.7 inches), it may not be the most accessible option for shorter riders, potentially limiting its appeal.
  • Fuel Capacity: The 16-liter fuel tank may require more frequent stops on longer rides, which could be a consideration for touring enthusiasts.
