Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer riders or those upgrading from a small-capacity machine who want a manageable step into naked-bike ownership.
PurposeIt's built primarily for city commuting and weekend backroad fun rather than long-distance touring or track dominance.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable curb weight make it accessible to riders of average and shorter stature.
CharacterThe TNT 300 has a peppy, high-revving V-twin character that rewards riders who like to work the gearbox and rev it out.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders seeking serious highway touring comfort, big passenger accommodation, or off-road capability.

2017 Benelli TNT 300 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Benelli TNT 300, 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.
