2006-2008 Benelli Tornado Tre 1130 K Review

Additional Models

2008 Benelli Tre 1130 K Amazonas

Completing the Benelli lineup from 2007 is the Tre 1130 K Amazonas model, a motorcycle that apparently looks like a Yellow and Black simple version, but underneath its beautiful shell hides many goodies which once uncovered will set it apart from the bike we’ve earlier studied.

The engine and transmission are exactly the same, but the modular frame is entirely made out of tubular steel trellis and, as well, features rear aluminum alloy casting. Suspension equipment on the newer model is yet even more suitable for the unpaved roads as it offers bigger stroke at both ends. In the front, an Ø48 mm upside-down fork, with hydraulic rebound, compression and spring preload adjustments offer 175mm of stroke instead of 150mm while at the rear, the same tubular steel trellis swingarm, progressive rear damper with hydraulic rebound and spring preload adjustment comes with 180mm stroke instead of 144mm.

Also, for dealing better with any eventual obstacle that may try to ruin your day, the Benelli Tre 1130 K Amazonas is equipped with a 19” front wheel.

This additional model is one that definitely stands out as being more of an off-road adept and that is mostly due to its enlargement. Longer (+17mm), higher (+50mm) and a bit heavier (+3kg), the Amazonas won’t necessarily dedicate its success to these features, but more to what comes along with them. The 25mm higher seat and 15mm longer wheelbase will require the rider a slight bit of effort to flat foot the ground, but enjoyment will surely come on the, not necessarily upgraded, but more enthusiastic approach of this model.

Price

The fact that it is a stand-out model can also be noticed when finding out that the MSRP with which it is tied up to is $15,699. Those who will ever twist its throttle or, even more, take it on the dust will remain caught up and understand why the price significantly grows.
