Overview

It carries the name Century Racer and it’s already a classic. Undeniably elegant, the motorcycle comes in the 100th anniversary colour recalling Benelli’s competition models, bikes that have made racing history with riders the likes of Renzo Pasolini. Even the logo that sits on the tank is the glorious design of the Sixties, emphasizing the unique history and immortal fascination of a motorcycle manufacturer that has given two-wheel enthusiasts a century of excitement and awe-inspiring machines.

The TNT 1130 Century Racer pays tribute to Benelli’s anniversary celebrated in 2011, but on the road it is simply and indisputably a super sport bike that makes no compromises.

The maximum power of 129 HP (95 kW) at 8500 rpm and 110 Nm (11.2 kgm) torque at 5250 rpm are specs that signify great performance and riding ecstasy. The attention paid torefining the chassis and inline three-cylinder engine have further accented the character of this model, which carries an additional distinctive element, the fully adjustable fork: spring preload, hydraulic compression and rebound damping are all parameters the rider can adjust to his liking, just as he can with the ZF Sachs rear shock absorber, which makes a fundamental contribution to transmitting the horsepower of this three-cylinder right to the ground.

For the TNT 1130 Century Racer, Benelli makes available a set of special, non-standard accessories that are truly unique, including: carbon muffler, front and rear mudguards in carbon, carbon belly pans, carbon chain casing, adjustable brake/clutch levers in ergal, handlebar ends in ergal, dry clutch kit, frame sliders, racing tank filler cap, carbon single- seat tail, motorcycle covers and semi-rigid panniers.
