Technical Overview
2011 Benelli Century Racer 1130 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2011 Benelli Century Racer 1130 naked motorcycle, Benelli pairs a 1131 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 135.4 HP (98.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 110 Nm (81.1 lb-ft) at 7,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.7 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,750 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Century Racer 1130 measures 208 kg (459 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 HP/kg (1.54 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,419 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
