Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a powerful, torquey triple with sharp, direct responses.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and cafe-racer styled backroad blasts rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe tall seat height, forward-leaning cafe racer stance, and firm suspension demand a reasonably fit rider comfortable with an aggressive riding position.
CharacterIt has an aggressive, characterful personality defined by strong midrange torque, a raspy triple exhaust note, and eager handling from its trellis-and-alloy chassis.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good fit for new riders, those seeking plush comfort, or anyone planning frequent two-up or long-haul touring rides.

2011 Benelli TNT 1130 Cafe Racer Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Benelli TNT 1130 Cafe Racer, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
