It’s a look you can’t ignore: Muscled up. Narrow waisted. Lovely curves. Sensuous frame tubes. Skimpy bodywork. And that amazingly powerful engine, with a trio of stainless exhaust pipes curving dramatically under and behind that sensational powerplant.
The emotion has only one name: Benelli TNT 1130 R. A real gem for performance and style, a motorcycle with strong character, able to conquer the genuine bikers.
It all starts with that incredible engine – an oversquare 1131cc, liquid-cooled inline triple cylinder with 4-valve heads, double overhead camshafts capable of an amazing power of 158 hp ar 10,200 rpm. That power ripples the pavement via a superbly balanced chassis, featuring a cast/tube-trellis hybrid frame that showcases a 50mm fully adjustable front Marzocchi forks, Sachs fully adjustable rear shocker working through a beautifully crafted tube-trestle swingarm, front twin 320 mm floating wave disc brakes with radial mounted Brembo monoblock 4 piston calipers and rear single 240 mm wave disc brake matched to a Brembo twin piston caliper.
The Benelli TNT 1130 R. A real italian legend.
The 1130 R’s three-cylinder inline engine is a marvel of power production and drivability, giving owners the high-rpm power of an inline-four combined with the grunty midrange of an open-class twin. It’s the perfect streetbike engine, and it sounds like n
Frame
Curved tubes of the highest quality steel are employed, and connect to a lovely alloy casting section in back to form a strong yet lightweight cage that uses the amazing three-cylinder engine as a stressed member.
Styling and Body
The 1130 R represents the very best of Italian design, with curves, angles and colors that blend perfectly together. There’s nothing like the TNT 1130 R, and you won’t be able to take your eyes off it.
Suspension
A 50mm inverted fork featuring rebound, compression and spring-preload adjustability mates with a similarly adjustable single-shock system in back for an amazingly compliant ride and superb wheel control at any speed.
