Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with abrupt power delivery and high-speed handling.
PurposeIt's built primarily for aggressive sport riding and spirited road use, with track-day capability rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider FitA firm, forward-leaning naked-bike stance and 830mm seat height demand decent reach and core strength during hard cornering and braking.
CharacterThe TNT R is a fierce, characterful Italian streetfighter with a howling inline-triple and premium chassis hardware that rewards a committed riding style.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for new riders or anyone wanting a plush, relaxed commuter or long-haul touring machine.

2015 Benelli TNT R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Benelli TNT R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 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.
