Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with a punchy, torquey triple and aggressive naked bike ergonomics.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited street riding and twisty road carving, with enough attitude for occasional track days.
Rider FitA moderately tall seat height and firm, sporty riding position demand decent physical confidence and leg reach, though the naked upright bars ease wrist strain compared to a full sportbike.
CharacterDistinctive Italian styling, a growling in-line triple, and a trellis-and-tub frame give it a raw, characterful personality that stands out from mainstream naked bikes.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, pillion-friendly luxury, or any off-road capability.

2011 Benelli TNT 899T 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 899T, 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.
