2008 Benelli Tre 1130 K Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Benelli for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2008 Benelli Tre 1130 K relies on a 1131 cc (69 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 123.4 HP (90.1 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 109.1 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,515 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
