Power and performance
The 2020 Benelli TNT 600 borrows the 600cc four-cylinder engine from the outgoing variant. However, it produces comparatively lower power and torque output, which is reportedly due to the compliance of emission norms. The motor, which comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, now churns out 81.6bhp of power and 51Nm of peak torque.
Safety
Benelli TNT 600: On the road
On the safety front, the Benelli TNT 600 comes equipped with 320mm disc brake on the front, 260mm disc brake on the rear, along with dual-channel ABS for better grip on the road. The motorcycle houses 50mm inverted telescopic forks on the front and a monoshock unit on the rear for improved damping control.
