Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-power naked bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive, immediate throttle response.
PurposeBuilt for hard, fast street riding and spirited cornering rather than utility or long-distance comfort.
Rider FitA moderately tall 820mm seat height combined with a firm, sporty riding stance demands reasonable rider fitness and confidence at stops.
CharacterA muscular, torque-heavy triple-cylinder streetfighter with sharp handling and race-derived chassis components, delivering an aggressive and visceral riding experience.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for beginners, off-road use, or riders prioritizing long-haul comfort and passenger-friendly ergonomics.

2011 Benelli TNT R160 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2011 Benelli TNT R160, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
