Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an exotic, high-strung Italian triple best suited to experienced riders who are already confident with aggressive sportbikes.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited backroad blasts and track-day work, trading everyday usability for outright performance and razor-sharp handling.
Rider FitThe low clip-ons, high rearsets, and firm 810mm seat demand a fit, flexible rider comfortable committing to an aggressive forward-leaning posture for extended periods.
CharacterA rare, characterful in-line triple with a boutique Italian pedigree, offering a raw, mechanical, and emotionally engaging riding experience over refined modern polish.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a practical, low-maintenance everyday or long-distance touring machine.

2009 Benelli Tornado Tre 1130 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Benelli Tornado Tre 1130, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
