Rider Profile

Best ForThis naked triple suits intermediate to experienced riders who can manage a torquey, characterful engine and a fairly aggressive chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a sporty, exhaust-note-driven naked bike for spirited road riding and weekend cornering rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and midweight build make it manageable for average-height riders, though the firm sporty ergonomics reward some physical engagement.
CharacterDistinctive triple-cylinder sound and Italian styling give it a raw, characterful feel that appeals to riders wanting something less mainstream than a four-cylinder naked.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road use, novice riders seeking a forgiving first bike, or those prioritizing plush long-haul touring comfort.

2010 Benelli Tre 899 K Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Benelli Tre 899 K, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
