2016 Benelli Tornado Naked T Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2016 Benelli Tornado Naked T naked motorcycle, Benelli features a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.7 HP (8.5 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 93.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Tornado Naked T measures 121 kg (267 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.34 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. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
