Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a powerful, torque-heavy triple and an aggressive naked-bike chassis.
PurposeIt's built primarily for spirited road riding and canyon-carving, with strong straight-line performance and sharp handling rather than long-distance comfort.
Rider FitThe compact wheelbase, sporty riding position, and 780mm seat height demand an engaged, athletic riding posture and decent physical fitness for extended rides.
CharacterThe Tornado Naked Tre has a raw, characterful in-line three engine note and premium Italian sportbike DNA wrapped in an aggressive, muscular naked-bike silhouette.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not well suited to new riders, those seeking plush touring comfort, or anyone needing off-road capability.

2008 Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 899 S 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 2008 Benelli Tornado Naked Tre 899 S, 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.
