Benelli TNT600i

The Benelli TNT 600i features a stunning sporty look that showcases the brand’s modern styling, deviating from the usual Benelli retro design language that its cousins have adopted. At the front, it has a single flat LED head lamp and a pair of indicator lights for top-notch visibility. It has an aggressive-looking side view that is enhanced by sharp lines and curves on its engine tank and side fairings as well as light-coloured motorsport decals. Its visible racy rear suspension, which follows a tornado-like pattern, also lets people know that it is engineered to perform on the track. Behind, it also has an LED tail lamp and turn indicators. Its hindlook also has that assertive sporty vibe courtesy of its under-seat twin-pipe exhaust system.

Meanwhile, drivers have access to a fully-digital instrument panel, which displays the tachometer, speedometer, tripmeter, temperature, along with important indicators for its ABS, check engine, malfunction, high beam, and turning. It comes with a well-textured split-type seat that is not the most plush out there but effectively offers decent cushioning and enhances riding posture. One downside with this bike’s architecture, however, is that its under-seat twin-pipe exhaust system tends to heat up immediately. As a result, the rider and passenger’s seat often feels hot, thus limiting the comfort level of their riding experience.

In terms of dimensions, the Benelli TNT 600i measures 2,140 mm in length, 800 mm in width, and 1,100 mm in height. It has a 1,480 mm wheelbase and a 170 mm ground clearance. This naked bike runs on 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

The Benelli TNT 600i utilizes a suspension setup that consists of an inverted fork at the front and a mono-shock-absorber at the rear. Thanks to this suspension setup, you’ll be able to enjoy this bike’s impressive traction on different kinds of roads. It handles really well even when hitting turns or corners at high speeds. However, its heavy weight can usually be felt by the rider when maneuvering through traffic and tight spaces in the city. But, overall, this bike is very easy and comfortable to ride both in the city and on the highway.

The Benelli TNT 600i is powered by a 600 cc in-line 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, 16-valve engine that produces a maximum power output of  81.6 PS (60 kW) and a maximum torque of 55 Nm. It runs on a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox. 

This naked bike’s powertrain doesn’t buffer when it comes to accelerating. Its transmission system is very responsive. It is very powerful yet efficient at the same time. Hence, this would make a practical daily rider in the city. You will definitely have no problem riding this at high speeds out on the open road. 

The Benelli TNT 600i uses dual discs for front braking, while a single disc for the rear. Its front dual disc brake is equipped with an anti-lock braking system, ensuring the rider and passenger’s safety wherever they go. As mentioned before, it also has precautionary indicators for its ABS, check engine, malfunction, and high beam.

The Benelli TNT 600i offers a sweet spot for riders who are looking for a freeway-legal bike that delivers impressive performance and produces an astounding engine roar without compromising practicality and reliability for everyday use. This explains why it remains one of the most competitive naked bikes in the country.
