Benelli TNT1130 Sport EVO

Benelli TNT 1130 Sport Evo: 140cv en el puño

Uno, dos, cuatro, seis…y ahora tres parece ser el número de cilindros predilecto de la marca de Pesaro para dar vida a su gama de motos grandes. Este tricilíndrico que anima a la TNT full power, la Sport Evo, se monta también en la TNT 1130 «básica», la más veterana y de la que derivan las otras, como la Café Racer, que pide ser conducida como una hyper deportiva aun careciendo del pertinente carenado.
Más humanas aunque igual de pasionales son la Trek y su versión off-road, la Amazonas. No obstante, todas ellas vienen a completar la gama que lidera a lo grande la Tornado Tre, una deportiva equipada con lo mejor de lo mejor y que no deja indiferente a nadie, además de exprimir como ninguna todo el potencial de esta mecánica de 1.130cc.

Analizando ya el corazón de esta maravilla que mi compañero David Remón pudo exprimir en un circuito como el de Zuera -la cogí tal cual llegó de las 3horas de resistencia del I Motorbike Festival-, tengo que decir que siempre me han llamado la atención las marcas que se atreven con algo diferente, y en este caso, no sólo se apuesta por un bloque original y efectivo, tan sólo comparable a los motores de Triumph, sino que Benelli lo mima con soluciones muy ingeniosas. Antes de verlas, decir que los tres cilindros en línea que suman 1.130cc no sólo hacen rugir a lo grande la TNT Sport Evo, sino que también le dan unos poderosos 140cv a 9.250rpm que intimidan lo suyo, mas si las condiciones climatológicas no son las adecuadas como viene siendo habitual en lo que llevamos de invierno. Su gran cilindrada permite unas excelentes cifras de par motor, con 117Nm a 6.750rpm que garantizan una respuesta total a cualquier régimen de giro, pero si estamos ante una mecánica única es por la perspicacia de algunas de sus soluciones, a destacar los dos radiadores laterales que disipan el calor con eficacia, o la posibilidad de limitar la potencia con un solo botón y así contener en parte los elevados (y algo exagerados) consumos. Además, es una moto con la que se puede experimentar al ofrecer soluciones derivadas de la competición, como la caja de cambio extraíble, el embrague en seco opcional o el poder equipar distintos tamaños de gomas.

Shipping was far ahead of schedule and free but the box was crumpled by USPS being a terrible carrier, and UPS or fedex are another level of shipping. Fortunately blister pack prevented the pipe from being damaged. Welding is simple for a proficient installer but in all honesty clamps or flanges and gaskets would be far more suitable. Conniving at the failures, magnum was the brand of choice and can’t praise the brutalitune enough and have already recommended it to a good friend.

EBC Brakes USA Made Double-H Series Sintered Brake Pads to fit Front Left

Our Price Ex VAT £41.63 £49.96 (inc VAT)

• Fast street and superbike pad
• TÜV and ECE R 90 approved
• Ultra high brake effect and lifetime
• Perfect braking wet or dryRead More…

The EBC flagship sintered streetsport pad that delivers highest braking power, stability and long life. Ultra high HH rated friction TÜV tested and ECE R 90 brake safety approved, there are few pads on the market to meet or beat the performance of Double-H pads. Made in the EBC state-of-the-art sintering plant in Ohio, USA, these pads stop fast – wet or dry – and last for thousands of miles.

Most manufacturers build bikes using sintered metal pads and these are direct replacements for that technology with several differences. First the refined compounds researched and used exclusively EBC are second to none in terms of quality of materials and workmanship. Secondly almost all EBC Double-H sintered pads use EBC design perforated stainless steel heat and noise shields on the reverse side, keeping brakes cooler by reducing heat transfer into the bikes hydraulics and dampening noise.

For race use we recommend the EBC Brakes EPFA or GPFAX sintered pad ranges which are an even higher spec compound with higher brake effect and heat cycling ability.

La TnT ne semble pas se contenter d’être l’un des plus virulents roadsters italiens de la production. L’usine a accouché d’une nouvelle version baptisée Sport. Le design gagne encore en agressivité grâce à l’emploi de touches de couleur bien placées et très subjectives. Un rouge sang empourpre (de colère ?) les tubes du cadre et du bras oscillant. Le 3 cylindres ne reçoit comme principale modification que le choix par le pilote de 2 types de cartographie.

Le bouilleur est déjà blindé de watts, pas la peine d’en rajouter ; mais il sera désormais possible de déterminer comment les chevaux vont arriver : avec ou sans ménagement.Où la TnT Sport fera la différence, c’est au niveau de l’agilité. La fourche est un modèle Marzocchi de 50 mm de diamètre réglable de partout. Le roadster pique les jantes OZ de la Tornado RS : des roues en alu bien plus légères. Un peu de carbone par ci par là pour gagner du poids, un freinage toujours confié à Brembo avec des étriers radiaux, une gueule dévastatrice… Amusez vous, éclatez vous, vous avez l’engin pour ça. Une machine avec autant de personnalité, tant mécanique qu’esthétique, aussi classe et si grisante à piloter, ça serait dommage de passer à coté, non …!?! on n’a pas fini d’entendre parler de machines au tempérament explosif.

Benelli TNT 1130 Sport Evo: Pura pasión

La historia de Benelli es de esas que merecen un capítulo aparte por incluir en sus páginas algo más que cantidades desmedidas de pasión, triunfo y gloria por un lado y sufrimiento, trabajo, y vaivenes de toda clase por otro, y es que a lo largo de casi cien años se ha mantenido a flote gracias al amor que muchos han sentido, y sienten, por esta marca tan legendaria y familiar.
Todo empezó cuando Teresa, mujer viuda y madre de los seis hermanos Benelli, tuvo que sacrificar gran parte del capital familiar para dar cierta estabilidad laboral a algunos de sus hijos. Fue en Pesaro, en 1911, cuando fundó la Oficina Mecánica Benelli, inicialmente pensada para pequeñas reparaciones pero que en poco tiempo empezó a fabricar motores propios. El primero fue un monocilíndrico de 74cc que estuvo listo hacia 1920 y que se acoplaba en bicicletas, aunque necesitó ganar, un año después, algo de cilindrada hasta llegar a los 98cc y dar vida a la primera moto de producción propia. De aquí en adelante todo empezó a ir bien, con el menor de los hermanos, Antonio, más conocido como Tonino «el terrible», cosechando importantes éxitos deportivos montado en su temida monocilíndrica de 175cc y extendiendo, gracias a ello, la reputación de la marca a lo largo y ancho de Europa.

A pesar de la trágica muerte de Tonino mientras probaba una moto en 1937, los triunfos deportivos no cesaron, y fue con la irrupción de las competitivas y económicas motos japonesas que llegaron los problemas. La nueva situación comportó algunos cambios de manos dirigentes hasta llegar a las actuales del grupo chino Qianjiang que parecen, esta vez sí, aportar la estabilidad económica necesaria para mantener viva una leyenda del motociclismo como es la marca de Pesaro.
En definitiva, una marca pequeña y familiar que las ha visto de todos los colores y que ha concebido pepinazos tan llamativos como la Sei 750, una joya de seis cilindros y tres trompetas a cada lado que emite música de la buena (te recomiendo sinceramente escucharla en youtube), por no hablar de su actual aventura en el mundo del off-road con la BX, una monocilíndrica de 450cc y unos 60cv que dará guerra.
Con esto, ahora sí es momento de ver la TNT (Tornado Naked Tre) 1130 Sport Evo, una naked de las gordas que emana belleza, agresividad, y carácter y que, como buena italiana, es realmente efectiva pero que exige todos los sentidos para dominarla como es debido.

The TNT R is a raw motorcycle in ways, everything about this bike is customizable.

Benelli’s flagship sportbike is called the TNT R also known as the TNT 1130 in some markets around the globe. This naked motorcycle with an Italian heritage is currently on sale in India as it is the company’s top-of-the-line offering. The TNT R, however along with a larger engine-equipped TNT bikes, remains completely manufactured in Europe, from where it comes directly in to the country. The company was established way before most major bike manufacturers. It has come a long way since then, seeing quite a bit of highs and lows in their eventful past, from gaining success in European and Italian championship races, including the MotoGP, to leaving their mark in the prestigious Isle of Man tourist trophy.
This Italian beast looks big and fierce. That means face and those side mounted radiator covers that sit just below the tank and nestle part of the chunky engine block, and the upside down Marzocchi shocks, give the Benelli 1130 R the appearance of a hulking angry primate with a forward leaning stance. In profile, the flagship of the Italian marque isn’t the neatest thing you will see as far as naked 1000cc bikes go, with Benelli choosing to show you most of the bikes innards including the front steel trestle and rear aluminium alloy casting chassis, an orgy of pipes, bolts, plastic bits and wiry veins which form the most attractive mess you will ever see. The three pipes that emanate from the 1131cc block are a clear indication of the Benelli’s cylinder count and their merging in to the very sporty and quite after-market, looking carbon fiber exhaust that protrudes out from under the pillion seat, splitting the angular tail LED lights, that looks rather exceptional.
An interesting feature of the TNT 1130 R’s swingarm is that it comes equipped with an adjuster that allows for the bikes ride height and standard 1443mm wheelbase to be altered according to the riders preference. The saddle is a little small and doesn’t allow for much movement for the rider, while the grabrails are a bit awkwardly positioned for your pillion, Apart from that, the riding position is quite relaxed with minimum weight on your wrists, but what will require some bit of effort is the stiff lever that is used to engage the open dry clutch. Before you would wonder why Benelli would refuse to climb the ladder of clutch evolution, the TNT R is sold with a wet multiplate clutch as standard and the dry clutch version as an option. The difference, apart from a price deficit, is that the dry clutch has a slightly higher power output and sounds like a washing machine from the early 90’s.
Now coming to the TNT R engine, you pull the clutch lever in, hit the starter and the 1131cc, in-line triple comes to life with a powerful, bass-rich rumble. At idle, there’s a noticeable racket that you can’t miss and doesn’t sound welcoming, This only changes when revving the big Benelli, when a far crisper, cleaner sounding howl comes in. The exhaust howls distinctly at high rpms, with a heady pop and crackle feeding back to the rider as soon as you roll of the gas. To top that, the intake rush and engine note rise as it does a mega power delivery that steps in once past 5,000rpm, making it difficult to ride this 135hp bike without enthusiasm. This sportbike is smooth and completely vibe-free as you begin to clock higher speeds. It doesn’t compromise a lot of electronic aids like ABS or traction control, so beginners will take a bit of time getting used to this Benelli, while enthusiasts will fall head over heels for the Italian. This bike leans in to corners very nicely and the soft compound Michelin’s paired with the Brembo brakes inspire much confidence.
Overall, the TNT R is a bike with a unique character. The 1130cc Benelli is like a bare-bone mechanical animal that refuses to be tamed by technology at a time when computer chips provide riders with a safety net. Yes, some of the plastic bits do feel a bit flimsy and will leave you feeling a bit shortchanged considering the ₹14 Lakh price tag. There’s no compromise on the fun factor with this motorcycle and if you fancy a good-looking, good-sounding, enthusiastic ride, the TNT R is the package you should be considering.
