Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who are comfortable with a powerful, aggressive in-line triple and razor-sharp sportbike geometry.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and track days where its high power-to-weight ratio and sharp chassis can be fully exploited.
Rider FitExpect an aggressive forward-leaning riding position with high footpegs and low bars that places real strain on wrists, shoulders and lower back over long stints.
CharacterA characterful, exotic Italian triple with a distinctive exhaust note and razor-edged handling that rewards commitment and precise inputs.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, relaxed commuting, long-distance touring, or anyone seeking a plush, upright, all-day comfortable ride.

2011 Benelli Tornado Tre 903 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 2011 Benelli Tornado Tre 903, 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.
