Positioned in Benelli's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Benelli TNT R160 relies on a 1131 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 155 HP (113.1 kW) at 10,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 120 Nm (88.5 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 137 HP per liter and a 2,300 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,300 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 R160 measures 208 kg (459 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.75 HP/kg (1.34 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 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 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
