Benelli TNT Century Racer

To celebrate its 100th anniversary this year, Benelli has unveiled two TNT Century Racer special editions.

The TNT899 Century Racer has an 898 cc three-cylinder engine that produces 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS) and 88 Nm (64 lb/ft) of peak torque. Upgrades from the standard bike include 50 mm diameter Marzocchi upside-down front forks and wavy brake discs with Brembo radial calipers.

For those wanting more power there’s the TNT1130 Century Racer, which will be built on request. Its larger capacity engine still has three cylinders, but outputs are up to 127 bhp (95 kW / 129 PS) and 110 Nm (81 lb/ft). While also enjoying the chassis improvements of its smaller brother, it takes them one step further by having fully adjustable front and rear suspension.
