Rider Profile

Best ForThis naked triple suits intermediate to experienced riders comfortable with strong midrange power and a firm, sporty chassis.
PurposeBuilt for spirited road riding and weekend canyon carving, blending sportbike-derived performance with an upright naked-bike stance.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 215kg wet weight demand a reasonably fit rider, though the naked ergonomics are less punishing than a full sportbike.
CharacterIt has an aggressive, characterful in-line three engine note and rewards confident, engaged riding with sharp handling and strong brakes.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for off-road use, long-distance touring comfort, or riders seeking a relaxed, low-effort commuter.

2009 Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 899 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 2009 Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 899, 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.
