Benelli TNT 300 Bikes (Upcoming)
Benelli's BN 302, the Italian-styled, parallel twin-cylinder-powered motorcycle, might be soon launched for the Indian market. The 300cc naked bike will be the entry-level motorcycle from the manufacturer.
The BN 302 gets an aggressive styling and with the steel trestle frame is a piece of Italian artwork. The bike is known for its refined sports suspension, exceptional clutch control and comfortable ergonomic layout. It is slim, light and nimble making it easy to handle the bike for both, a novice rider or an experienced one. The motorcycle gets 17-inch aluminium alloy rims that feature a 120/70 sized tyre in the front and a 160/60 sized tyre at the rear.
The braking power comes from the 260mm twin wave disc at the front and a 240mm single disc at the back. The suspension set-up includes an inverted 41mm hydraulic damping shock absorber at the front fork, while the rear swing-arm gets an adjustable rear shock absorber offering spring preload and rebound adjustment.
The BN 302 is powered by a 300cc four valve DOHC inline two cylinder engine that produces 37bhp of power and 27Nm of torque. This mill features an electronic Delphi fuel injection system and a timing system with double overhead camshafts. The motor comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
In the international market, the Benelli BN 302 comes in two colours- orange and white. The motorcycle can be a good package if the company offers the bike for a competitive price in the Indian market. It will go up against the Kawasaki Ninja 300 when it goes on sale in early 2015.
