Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level minibike best suited to beginners, learners, or those wanting a fun, low-stakes second bike.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, playful commuting, and general messing around rather than any serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 12-inch wheels, low seat height, and light dry weight make it extremely easy and unintimidating for smaller or less experienced riders to handle.
CharacterIt has a cheeky, scooter-like street-fighter styling with a peppy little single-cylinder engine that rewards revving rather than outright speed.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for highway commuting, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger any real distance, or anyone seeking genuine sport-bike performance.

2017 Benelli TNT 135 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Benelli TNT 135, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
