2017 Benelli TNT 600 GT Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Benelli's sport touring motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Benelli TNT 600 GT relies on a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 85 HP (62 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 54.6 Nm (40.3 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 141.7 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the TNT 600 GT measures 243 kg (536 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 27-liter (7.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
