Benelli
TNT Titanium
Benelli’s
goal was clear: create an even more explosive racing bike. And that is exactly
what the TNT Titanium is: inspired by racing bikes but with the handling and
versatility that only the Naked bikes can offer.
The
exhilaration of riding a true racing bike is guaranteed by the exceptional
equipment:
carbon fairings, titanium exhaust system, totally adjustable suspensions at low
and high speeds, dry clutch, forged wheels, radial brake system, an eccentric
system for complete footboard adjustment.
An important innovation in the motor: as in all of the TNT model year 2005
versions, the Titanium offers the
possibility of modifying motor functions by simply pressing a lighted button on
the dash support. The engine control unit can be switched between free power and
controlled power for better control of the motorcycle in poor traction
conditions with a decrease in fuel consumption of 10-20% depending on driving
style and on the road. The free power configuration makes it possible to fully
enjoy the torque features and motor power, while the controlled power
configuration makes it possible to easily use the bike in the city, even on
asphalt with poor traction, either alone or with a passenger, without stress.
The
exclusive technical aspects are also seen in the exceptional cycle: this version
sports a powerful 50 mm fork completely adjustable in compression, extension and
spring preload, with a hardened surface to improve the sliding qualities which
contribute to making the road holding solid and precise. The back shock absorber
body is in Ergal – light and unique in the world panorama; it is completely
adjustable in compression - with double adjustment for high and
low speeds - extension and spring preload to offer a good level of
performance constancy and to make riding safe in all asphalt conditions.
The
attention given to the quest for lightness and performance is confirmed by the
use of Marchesini rims in forged and machined aluminium alloy and the Brembo
braking system which mounts a 4 piston radial calliper and a 320 mm diameter
double disk at the front.
