Benelli Cafe Racer

2012 Benelli TNT 1130 Century Racer

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 to refining 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.

Quality takes first priority: the enormous task of testing, developing and fine-tuning the entire 2012 range has allowed us to achieve the highest standards on the market and guarantee the Benelli buyer reliability, optimized fuel consumption and meticulous bike construction. And that naturally includes the joy of riding a Benelli, which is the distinctive, essential trait of every motorbike that comes off the assembly line of the Pesaro plant.

Pesaro, Italy: this is where Benelli’s hub lies, in an efficient, modern structure vaunting the highest standards of quality that was maintained as the chief production headquarters. The “Made in Italy” stamp remains an indispensable element for Benelli, which is looking ahead to seize the opportunities offered by the global market, conscious of the fact of its role as a brand leader with a legendary history and confident of its offer of top-end products standing out for their quality, design and sporty allure.

The TNT 1130 Century Racer awaits fans of the brand and all motorcyclists at Benelli dealers.

Quality, innovation, range. Benelli reboots after their 100th year anniversary in 2011 to take on the market with even greater determination. The goals have been stated clearly: maximum product quality, an updated, more polished range, production in Italy but with marketing operations throughout the world.

With all this, 2012 is sure to be a banner year with consolidation of the existing production organization in view of the gradual introduction of brand new models that will top off Benelli’s offer and complete the manufacturer’s relaunch started five years ago following the acquisition by QJ.
