2017 Benelli TNT 600

2017 Benelli TNT 600

Popularity in the 600cc sportbike class is amazing. Riders increasingly prefer the naked style, and no naked machine is purer or more visceral than Benelli’s TNT600. With its new upgrades, the TNT600 represents our most advanced 600-class effort to date. Powering the TNT600 is our most advanced engine: a liquid-cooled, double-overhead-camshaft inline-four with 6 speeds and 4-valve cylinder head technology that optimizes power and ride-ability. The chassis is equally modern, using a hybrid frame of cast alloy and steel-tube trellis for light weight and ideal rigidity. Both ends get leading-edge suspension, with a 50mm inverted fork in front and a single shock at the rear paired with an alloy swingarm. Naturally, braking is amazing, featuring race-derived radial-mount calipers up front. If a 600-class sportbike that stirs your soul is what you want, check out the TNT600. This is the 600 worth owning.

• Sound

The legend of the special Benelli "roar" was born in 2004, when the Tornado Naked Tre 1130 was launched. That fantastic, one-of-a-kind sound defines us and sends a shot of adrenaline through us. Hear the TNT600, and its sound is music to your ears! Braaaap!!!

• Engine

Arm-straightening, eye-opening horsepower comes from an advanced 600cc liquid-cooled inline four cylinder featuring dual camshafts and 4-valves-per-cylinder. With a six-speed transmission, riders have a gear for every situation.

• Tires

Offering comfortable ride characteristics and maximum grip, premium Pirelli radial tires are the perfect choice whether you're riding back roads aggressively or spending a day at the racetrack.

• Frame

Sculpted alloy castings and steel tubes laid out in a trellis design come together in the TNT 600’s hybrid frame. Using the engine as a stressed member results in a frame that is lightweight and plenty rigid for class-leading handling.

• Suspension

Up front, adjustable 50mm inverted forks team up with a horizontally mounted rear shock that offers rebound and spring preload adjustability, delivering precise wheel control in any situation – city, backroads or racetracks.
