Rider Profile

Best ForFor experienced riders comfortable with a torquey 123hp triple; not a beginner machine given its weight, power and firm sporting focus.
PurposeA muscular Italian naked built for spirited road riding, fast backroad blasts and confident cornering, with enough fuel range for longer days.
Rider FitUpright roomy naked stance, 810mm seat, 22L tank and sporty geometry; comfortable ergonomics with exposure to wind at speed.
CharacterCharismatic, torque-rich inline-triple with distinctive Benelli exclusivity - punchy, characterful and eager, blending muscle with agility.
Not Ideal ForNot for novices, off-road use, or riders wanting a light commuter or fully faired long-distance tourer.

2016 Benelli TRE 1130 K Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2016 Benelli TRE 1130 K, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
