Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

20 K is way too much...
I would say it should be somewhere between 8-10 k.
Check here Angel ST Tubeless

20k Might be for both front & rear... (still little high).

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

20-25k for a set should be fine. But only rear is robbery !!

Regarding frame sliders, don't Puig make anything for Benelli ? 17k seems expensive. After a fall or crash you anyway need to replace them (touchwood). It should be functional than only cosmetic.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Do Puig make sliders ? I thought they were into wind deflectors.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Yes for one tire. Outside I'm getting the tire at 14-15K (2014-15 stock). The lowest I got is for 12K but tire is from 2012-13 stock.
Yes, but the ones being sold at Mumbai dealership are different.
Yes, raised it to DSK, waiting for the reply. As per my discussion with DSK folks, the dealership set up is still not complete, lot of confusion regarding pricing & availability of parts. The DMS system is no where to be found, so it is going to take some time it seems. But the guys are helpful.
20K is for tire. Another 14K for the alloy. It was massive pothole, I described the incident few page back. The alloy also was cracked. Few days back I saw another TNT300 (Red) broken down due to pothole.
I too thought 20K for the pair but it's not. Planning to buy from outside (14-15K) if warranty claim is rejected. Another option is available in Metzeler M5 (160/60-17) but it seems Pirelli is better option.
Good lads at HVK also pointed out good option for Ladakh as well Pirelli MT60 160/60 - 17 M/C 69V TL. Keep the cost 23K in mind
For frame sliders, yes I do agree on functionality part, but the size of the frame sliders is something which I had questions. The longer you make more weak it will be.
600i had similar frame sliders but perfect in length.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Is insurance covering the alloys ?

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Yes, tire as well.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Isnt this issue similar to the KTM ones, not sure if I am correct, was that 390 alloys breaking down due to the powder coating issue. Does Benelli also has the same ??

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Nope, do not jump into conclusion.
I'm aware of the pothole which I hit & what speed I was riding when it happened. So I don't doubt the quality.
8-10 cars on the side of the road with each rim in the front & rear bent/broken, only proves that the the pothole was nasty. Any kind of bike would have suffered a damaged rim.
Eventually somebody had to put a barricade around it to avoid further accidents.
After this I rode on bad roads & few potholes but no damage to the rims.

Yes they do. They have a range of accessories, not just wind deflectors. Check their website. :thumbup:

I guess you can upgrade to 180 section tyre if replacement isn't covered in warranty. I believe 180 is cheaper than 160 as they're widely used compared to 160.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Not sure, will stick to stock size only.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

I think the stock are already wide enough, other markets get 140 at the rear. 180 would be overkill and add weight to already heavy bike.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

What is the yearly premium cost

Spoke to the showroom guy in Mumbai he said the Rim is covered under warranty, i forgot to ask about the Tyre though.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Hi abhijit, any idea on what will be the maintenance cost of this tnt 300 annually? An insight on the service intervals would be great.

Yes I keep coming back to benelli. I have booked both ninja and benelli. not finalisEd yet. I don't get to buy premium bikes often . So I'm just waiting it out.
