Benelli TNT 300 – 300cc engine offers stylish naked looks and powerful performance

If you are looking for a naked sports bike that offers style, performance and premium riding feel — all three together, the Benelli TNT 300 can be a fairly interesting option for you. The bike is set to launch in India in 2026 and is in considerable discussion due to its design, twin-cylinder engine and premium build quality before launch. The TNT 300 is designed specifically to take into account riders who want a sporty, refined and aggressive street bike.

Price

The estimated EX-showroom price of Benelli TNT 300 will be between Rs 3,20,000 to Rs 3,40,000. It is expected that the price of the Indian version will also remain in the same range, allowing it to directly compete with models such as the KTM 390 Duke, Honda CB300R and BMW G310R.

Design

The design of the TNT 300 gives it the identity of a sharp, aggressive and muscular naked bike at first sight. Updates found in the international model make this design even more modern. It gets a new advanced LED headlamp setup, color-coded front fender, sporty fuel tank and step-up seat design, which gives the bike a dynamic stance.

The side-slung exhaust further highlights its sporty nature, and the split-style Pilion Grab Rail gives it a premium, international-style finish. Overall, the TNT 300 is perfect for riders who want to make a strong statement from the looks of their bike.

Engine

The most special of the Benelli TNT 300 is its 300cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine — which is a big plus point in this segment. In the international version, this engine produces power of 37 bhp and torque of 25.62 Nm, and the same performance is expected in India.

The advantage of the twin-cylinder engine is that the bike feels extremely smooth, refined and produces a sporty exhaust note on high revs. Power at 11,000 rpm makes it fun at both straight-line speed and city riding. With a 6-speed gearbox, this engine is capable of delivering balanced performance everywhere in the city, highway and twisty roads.

Performance

The TNT 300 can create a different identity in its class in terms of performance. Due to the twin-cylinder engine, its power delivery is quite linear and progressive, giving the rider a control feel on every gear. The bike also catches fast on the highway easily due to its top-end power. In addition, the refined nature of the engine reduces fatigue in long riding and the machine remains comfortable even in city riding. The bike’s strong mid-range also gives you good response in the overtakes.
