TNT 1130 R

2012 Benelli TNT 1130 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Benelli's naked motorcycle platform, the 2012 Benelli TNT 1130 R utilizes a 1131 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 157.8 HP (115.2 kW) at 10,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 120 Nm (88.5 lb-ft) at 8,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 139.5 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (8,400 rpm) and peak power (10,200 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 TNT 1130 R measures 218 kg (481 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.72 HP/kg (1.38 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,443 mm (56.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
