Engineered by Benelli for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2011 Benelli TNT 899T relies on a 899 cc (54.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 118 HP (86.1 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 88 Nm (64.9 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 131.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 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 TNT 899T measures 199 kg (439 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.69 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 1,443 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.
