Benelli
Benelli is one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in the world. Benelli racing motorcycles were renowned in the 20s & 30s winning a number of Italian and World Championship titles. The factory, destroyed in WWII, was completely rebuilt, the company restructured, and again in the 50s and 60s returned to its championship position in world racing. By the 60s it was producing 300 motorcycles per day and was a leading innovator in motorcycle design.
In 2002 the company produced the 900 TRE "sport" engine, a unique three-cylinder engine with revolutionary, sports performance. This new engine is now one of the elements which guarantees top performance from their bikes and is a unique distinguishing features of all of their products. A three-cylinder engine completely designed, developed and produced in Italy.

TNT Cafe Racer 1130
The design idea used for the development of the Cafè Racer was that of creating a TNT inspired by the racing bikes of the past, but with a series of unique, sophisticated details to make it modern and effective.
The result is a motorcycle with an extraordinary personality - a bike which simultaneously offers riding comfort and extreme performance thanks to its exceptional components: a higher and more protective windscreen for greater aerodynamic protection, lower clip-on handlebars in aluminium alloy, single seat ballypan and tailpiece to experience the thrills of riding a true racer alone, eccentric foot board adjustment system, carbon parts and seat support.
As with the design, the colour was also inspired by the past for an exceptional aesthetic impact and to make the Café Racer even more exclusive in the world gamma of the Streetfighters.

Tornado Naked Tre
This is the definition of Trinitrotoluene, better known in its abbreviated form as TNT: a powerful but stable explosive that is insensitive to friction and jarring and needs a detonator to set it off.
Benelli admitted at the time it presented the new TNT - Naked/Cafe Racer that it aimed to combine the dynamic qualities of the Tornado 900 Tre supersports bike and the new three-cylinder 1130 cc engine developed by the firm. The result was to be the most explosive and powerful bike, but also the most enjoyable and exciting on the market.
But the bike also had to be a logical continuation of the Tornado range. It had to retain the latter's unique character and style, an unmistakable Benelli trade-mark.

Naked Tre Sport.
New colours and even more exclusive components for the TNT Sport, inspired by the super bike motorcycles for the most enthusiastic sports riders.
For stability and manageability in every road condition and for more precise steering, the Benelli technicians have worked long and hard on the suspension setting: up front, the Marzocchi fork with reversed, 50 mm rods, adjustable in spring compression, extension and preload.
The settings provide a more progressive action of the shock absorber to guarantee safer, more stable riding when changing directions, both on the road and on the track

Tornado Tre 1130
The Tornado's frame has been completely revised to meet the new power and torque characteristic of the engine, without loosing any input from the original Tornado project.
REAR RADIATOR
This is one of the characterizing features of the Tornado. 50% of the weight is distributed to the front chasis of the bike in all riding conditions. The advantage being increased precision when riding and when entering bends.
REAR SUSPENSION
The shock absorber and the links have benefitted from recent racing experience. The measurements have been slightly modified to make the frame easier to manage adapting it to the new increased power and torque values.

Trek 1130
More than just an adventure bike, the Benelli Trek's unique rigid frame, grunty motor and supple suspension make it a rewarding ride on all types of roads, from outback tracks to sweeping mountain curves. It truly is a bike for all occasions.
At the heart of the Trek is the same triple cylinder engine that powers both the Tornado and the TnT so you know it's got the heart of a sportsbike. Retuned for torque and smooth power delivery, the engine management system features a "power" button that allows you to tame the beast for poor road conditions should you desire.
The Trek is a motorcycle for the rider who wants one bike to do it all.
