Premiere New Benelli with a fresh look
The Italian Benelli (belongs now under the authority of the Chinese QJ Motor) is being built and expanded nicely. Now they have been present here us with a touring enduro, showing something new in the 500cc segment as they already have retro machines and cruisers. The premiere of TNT 500 was held at the Milan salon and this time, a hot naked was unveiled.
Although the 899 was resurrected as a Chinese motorcycle for China, the TNT name sounds good at Benelli anyway, but there is also the entry-level TNT 125. The 500 received the in-line two-cylinder already known from several other models, which is unchanged at 47.6 horsepower. A new frame was made around it, while the chassis remained untouched. With its insect head, high tank and squat build, the shape is in line with current fashion.
According to Benelli's intentions, the TNT 500 will be available from the second half of next year, but the price has not yet been announced.
