General information and overview

The Benelli TNT 300 is a naked bike that combines Italian design with robust performance. Powered by a 300cc inline twin-cylinder engine, it delivers 38 PS of power and 27 Nm of torque, making it suitable for both city riding and highway cruising. The bike features a trellis frame, 41mm upside-down front forks, and a fully adjustable rear monoshock, ensuring a comfortable and stable ride. The design is sleek and aggressive, with a distinctive exhaust note that enhances the riding experience. It is well-suited for long trips, as evidenced by users who have taken it on extensive tours across India. However, the lack of ABS and higher maintenance costs are aspects that potential buyers should carefully consider. Overall, the TNT 300 is a solid choice for riders seeking a blend of style, comfort, and performance.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Benelli TNT 300 is a compelling option in the 300cc segment, offering a unique blend of performance, comfort, and style. From my experience, the bike stands out with its refined inline twin-cylinder engine, producing 38 PS of power and 27 Nm of torque, which makes it both a capable commuter and a thrilling ride on the highways. The handling is commendable, with a well-balanced chassis and neutral cornering behavior, although the absence of ABS is a notable drawback. The exhaust note is particularly impressive, adding to the bikes appeal. However, the high maintenance costs and limited service center network are significant considerations. Overall, its a great choice for those seeking a mature, relaxed riding experience with a touch of excitement, but potential buyers should be aware of the higher running costs.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

There has been no recent update on the Benelli TNT 300 in India, indicating that the model may not have seen significant changes or new launches in the recent past. However, the existing model continues to be a popular choice for those looking for a powerful yet affordable motorcycle. I think the TNT 300 remains a solid option in its segment.
November 19, 2024
The Benelli TNT 300, along with the 302R and TNT 600i, was re-launched in India under the new distributorship of Adishwar Auto Ride India - Mahavir Group. The TNT 300 is priced at an introductory Rs. 3.50 lakh. This change in distribution is expected to expand Benellis presence in India. I believe this could be a turning point for Benellis sales in the country.
December 3, 2018
Benelli India has re-launched the TNT 300 ABS in the country, priced at Rs. 3.29 lakh (ex-showroom). This update includes ABS, making the bike safer for riders. The TNT 300 ABS replaces the non-ABS model in Benellis lineup. I think this move will attract more safety-conscious buyers.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the Benelli TNT 300 was priced around 2.83 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi and 2.88 lakh ex-showroom in Hyderabad, depending on the region and the choice of tires (MRF or Pirelli). On-road prices would typically include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, pushing the total to around 3.2-3.5 lakh. While this is slightly on the higher side compared to some competitors, the bikes build quality, performance, and unique features justify the premium. However, the price difference between MRF and Pirelli tires, with the latter being about 10,000 more, is something to consider, especially given the Pirelli tires superior performance.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Benelli TNT 300 offers respectable mileage for its class, with users reporting around 25-30 kmpl in mixed riding conditions. This makes it a viable option for daily commuting as well as long-distance touring. However, the actual mileage can vary based on riding style, road conditions, and the load carried. Despite the relatively high maintenance costs, the fuel efficiency helps in keeping the running costs manageable.

The bike is good for youngsters
Some improvement is needed as the light is not good and speedometer feels so simple for this class. It lacks some sportbike ride feel.

Benelli TNT300 was a big mistake

Summary

One of the biggest mistake I made is buying Benelli
1. Worthless
2. All time issues
3. Money blaster
4. No professional trained tech guy
5. Good to break promises
6. No follow up
I have complained many times to Pune office. Every time they take review but no action.
After 1 month of my purchase, oil seal broke on the journey. Issue raised to roadside assistance at 5 am but they arrived at 9 am.

Such an awesome sport cruiser

Summary

I have been using the bike for a year now. Have clocked 15000 kms so far, most of it in highways. The Benelli TNT 300 is the entry level sport cruiser from the Italian stable.
I have been using the bike for a year now. Have clocked 15000 kms so far, most of it in highways. The Benelli TNT 300 is the entry level sport cruiser from the Italian stable. The 300cc parallel twin is an absolute delight to ride, both in city and in the highways. Its sheer power can be felt when you cross 7k RPM, while you can relax in its torquey ride within the city. It has a very nice riding position (sporty, yet comfortable). Its surprising that even a person who is 6'3* find it very comfortable. The bike has a very distinct exhaust note. Its a real head turner. Though the front look might be subtle, the bike has a distinct finish in the sides and rear. With H7 headlamp assembly, and LED turn indicators, it comes with a good road look. The inverted telescopic front shocks and the offset rear mono-shock makes you feel almost no bumps. Being on the heavier side, the shocks do a really great job. The brakes are extraordinarily good, though the bike lacks an ABS. The stock tyres are bliss.. the Pirelli Angel has such a road grip. Being dual compound, it lasts long. Some downsides are: 1. Being very heavy, quick maneuvers in traffic can be a bit tough. 2. Mileage can bite your purse. 3. High maintenance costs are spares are all imported. 4. Low quality of heavy wear-tear parts, resulting in need for replacements too soon.

Benille TNT 300 Would be Good if ABS is there

Summary

No abs, all super-bike manufactures should take the feedback that Indian roads with potholes are very unsafe, unsafe, speed breakers, buffaloes, fog, cats come your way.

I explain my Benelli TNT 300 as a striking, sporty and premium bike at the same time. The first thing anybody notice on the bike is seating and riding comfort. So, this bike earns full point in this term. Its front and pillion seat offers good support when it comes to cushioning. Its narrow single piece handlebar never strained my shoulders on long distance. Its 16-litre fuel tank is just a big advantage of this bike. Initially, I found it little heavy but once I twist the throttle, it just moved so smoothly that i did not feel its weight. But, it is good for only highway as in the heavy traffic, it expects that others made way for it which is not possible. In the terms of performance, it is not exactly very smooth, it produces vibrations on the handle bar after crossing 4000 rpm. Overall, I can say its an average bike with good design and some limitations too. I would recommend this bike to well build person who can easily handle its weight in traffic.

My All-Time Super Bike

Summary

The Benelli TNT 300 is undoubtedly the best sounding twin-cylinder bike in the world. The big muscular 16 litres fuel tank is more than enough and you can easily enjoy long rides without any tension
The Benelli TNT 300 is undoubtedly the best sounding twin-cylinder bike in the world. The big muscular 16 litres fuel tank is more than enough and you can easily enjoy long rides without any tension of fuel filling. It has a very comfortable riding position it isn't completely upright but a bit forward bend, resulting in utmost comfort even on long journeys. The TNT’s 300cc mill can run in high gears at low speeds with the utmost of ease or comfort. The overall build quality and the nuts and bolts used to put the TNT 300 together are really good for an entry level bike. But there are some parts that I feel could be better finished. The only downside of the bike is the lack of ABS which has become quite necessary for our roads and definitely with a big bike like this.

Professional reviews and expert opinions on Benelli TNT 300

The large V-shaped headlamps that are complimented by the puny windscreen makes the Benelli TNT 300 look like a robot. The muscular profile comes from the dual disc and golden upside down forks. The fuel tank is nicely shaped with well cut out knee recesses for smooth grip. The arrow-head shaped cowl directly extending from the front of the tank makes it look bigger and gives you a ‘big-bike’ like feel. The under seat exhaust looks quite similar to the one seen on the Kawasaki’s ER-6N.

The fuel tank is nicely shaped with well cut out knee recesses for smooth grip. The arrow-head shaped cowl directly extending from the front of the tank makes it look bigger and gives you a ‘big-bike’ like feel. The under seat exhaust looks quite similar to the one seen on the Kawasaki’s ER-6N.

The bike offers comfortable riding posture with a 795mm seat height, the tall handle bars and a wide seat for the rider and the pillion as well. It has an extended wheelbase of 1410 mm for a stable ride. The large tail light and the chunky grab rails flows well with the rest of the TNT 300 design. There is a good combination seen on the instrument panel with analogue tachometer and digital speedometer, fuel gauge, trip meter and odometer.

This instrument cluster looks more impressive and premium than the fully analogue or fully digital. The white background on the tachometer along with red needle makes it look more appealing. Benelli TNT 300 has got a length of 2130 mm, width of 800 mm and a height of 1120 mm as its dimensions along with a wet or kerb weight of 185kg. It has a fuel tank capacity of 16 litres which does not disappoint you on the long runs.

The Benelli TNT 300 is powered by a 300cc, 4-stroke, 8-valve, liquid cooled, two-cylinder, DOHC engine which generates a maximum power of 37.73 Bhp at 11,500 rpm and a peak torque of 26.5 Nm at 10,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a six speed transmission and a wet clutch. It uses the electronic injection with twin 38 mm throttle bodies. The motorcycle comes fitted with 260 mm Twin disc brakes at the front and 240 mm single disc brakes at the rear end. Benelli is offering two different combinations of tyres for the TNT 300.

One is Pirelli manufactured 120/70-R17 for the front and 160/60-R17 for the rear and other one being MRF manufactured 110/60-R17 for the front and 150/60-R17 for the rear. The suspension duties are handled by Benelli 41 mm upside down forks with 115 mm stroke at its front while Benelli shock 120 mm stroke with adjustable pre-load rebound are placed at the rear end.
