Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

5K RPM is Break in Period recommendation, max speed is 80-85 in sixth gear and 5K RPM,

I am getting tempted all the time to increase it but few more days

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Finally I will be going tomorrow for test riding the TNT 25 and TNT 300. Will book TNT 25, if everything ticks right boxes. My budget doesn't allow me for TNT 300, though I know that its a pure pleasure machine with superb exhaust note.
I was informed that delivery times have increased to almost 2 months for both bikes. So there will be waiting period for me

Will update my experience soon...

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Hope you book one , I want to install an exhaust on it but no pointers from any where

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Just coming back from test riding both TNT 25 and TNT 300. Awesome machines I must Say.
My ride experience on both bikes is almost similar, except 300 feels a bit heavy and difficult to handle especially in traffic turns between vehicles.
25 is nimble though gives a mascular stance, easy to move in traffic.
The firing of benelli 300 is powerful and sonic, but attracts unwanted attention from people, also for long distances may become irritating ang bothersome. For me 25 firing was perfect so no need for any aftermarket addons to improve sound😀. I must appreciate benelli for making their machines sound so humble that you fall in love.
Both bikes look mascular and styling is somewhat similar, only difference is 300 has slightly broad rear tyre and pillion seat space appears to be better, but believe me 25 also provides similar comfort for pillion. I tried both bikes with and without pillion, no difference in my opinion if pillion is of average size.

Finally booked 25, Red colour. Wait time is 2 months😞. Dealer did not have white, but has informed that before registration i can change and select white colour if reqd.
Now my job is only to wait and dream, till this baby comes to me.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Hi All,

I am new to xbhp and this is my first post glad to be here.. I booked my Tnt 25 on 2 Jan and now waiting for delivery which is expected to be on 31 Jan and its very difficult to wait this long and lots of sleepless nights hope i get this on 31 Jan. And a very good review Bikelover. Btw any update you can provide on bite of brakes of your Tnt 25 any improvement you noticed? And just wanted to add one additional information that i checked with dealer and got know that we can add additional disc in front like Tnt 300 as they have already kept this provision for Tnt 25 but i will still confirm this from the workshop if additional disc is added in front as it can definitely improve the bite of front brake.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Post more pictures please. This bike needs that.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Congratulations in advance.... Hope you get it on time. But I was informed that the assembling will start only from 22nd, so if you get on 31st it will be excellent delivery commitment.
which colour did you book? Post your user experience soon.
Happy Riding.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

I'm a happy owner! Clocked 750kms uptil now. Service is due in few days. Great experience so far, will post detailed review post service!

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Congrats Abhishek !! Can you also please share some photos of your Italian beast. And would like to ask you that in how many days you got the delivery after booking the bike? And what is the expected service cost quoted by them ? I have booked Red Tnt 25 on 2 January and now waiting for delivery.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

The baby Benelli comes home! Covered around 700kms+ in a week! Here are some quick impressions of my bike...



Looks and Styling:
This aspect differs from person to person, but personally it's too good and looks hot in red flesh!The tank pad is derived from its elder sibling TnT899 and is quite an eye catcher! It's muscular tank and beefy USD forks give it a strong appeal. I've been stopped by many and I felt glad to explain them about my bike. The instrument cluster gives adequate information like 2 trip meters, gear position indicator, fault indicator,etc.




Performance and Handling:
The bike is powered by single pot cranking out 28bhp and 22nm of torque. The bike has a very relaxed nature and a very smooth and linear power delivery. It doesn't feel hyped up to reach the top gear like the KTM Duke 200. The grunt is felt post 6000rpm and so is the sweet symphony pleasuring your ears! Yeah, it's true that front brake lacks bite, and you need an extra effort to shave down from high speeds.
Vibrations can be felt in the second gear but it will be resolved post the service.
It scores good in the handling department. I opted for MRF tyres and would opt for Pirelli in the future. But MRF's also do the job well! Have been to lavasa and the way it handled, boosted my confidence to enter the corners with speed. Thanks to the footpegs and tank shape, I'm 6' tall and thanks to the tank shape and rear set footpegs because which i am at comfort and also confident enough to attack the corners! Tall riders would find it much better than the Duke 200 as it boasts big seats, both rider and pillion! Soaks up the bumps very well!


Verdict :
Have completed 2 rides on it; Lavasa and Dhom Dam, Wai. Both being a completely different locations; one with high flowing corners, ghats (Lavasa) and the other being a highway ride covering 220kms in day, I can surely tell that it has linear power delivery and a planted feel! Surely the tag line states it's nature!
#NothingLikeIt



Was my first try on a short review will soon post a detailed review with more pictures post 1st service! Cheers!😀✌

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Have uploaded a short review and some pics! Bike was launched on 17th December 2015 and I booked mine on 21st December and i got my bike exactly after 20 days i.e. on 11th January! Expected service cost would be around 2.5 to 3k.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience


Thanks Abhishek for your reply and wonderful photos.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Thanks for your Post Abhishek.

Bike looks gorgeous. Also In Mumbai no MRF is option is available only Pirelli-Metz, which I think is good deal at only additional 8K, as reviews say they provide awesome grip.
Personally I hate MRF's. I have on my Unicorn and also on my Car and they are pathetic. I am not sure what version of MRF is on TNT, but recommend to go for METZ only.
Also now saree guard is not provided by benelli.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Congrats guys on your new possession. The bike looks stunning .

Wish you more miles.
