Benelli TNT 600i

Engine and gearbox

The Benelli TNT 600i is the brand’s four-cylinder streetfighter and the most powerful Benelli on its Pakistan website. Its 600cc inline-four engine has 16 valves, double overhead camshafts, liquid cooling and fuel injection. Benelli quotes 60 kW (about 80.5 hp) at 11,000 rpm and 55 Nm at 8,000 rpm, with an 11.5:1 compression ratio. It uses a six-speed gearbox, a wet multi-plate clutch and chain drive, with electric starting. The claimed top speed is 190 km/h, the highest in Benelli’s local range. No official fuel consumption figure is published.

Size and practicality

The TNT 600i is 2,140 mm long, 800 mm wide and 1,100 mm tall, with a 1,480 mm wheelbase. Seat height is 820 mm and ground clearance is 170 mm. Kerb weight is 222 kg, which in our view is heavy for a naked 600, and maximum load is 171 kg. The fuel tank holds 15 litres. As a naked bike with a high-revving engine, it is built for performance rather than comfort on long trips.

Chassis and equipment

The bike uses a steel trellis frame with aluminium alloy wheels and wide tyres, 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 180/55 ZR17 at the rear. Braking is by two 320 mm front discs and a 260 mm rear disc. ABS is not mentioned on the official Pakistan specification page. Front suspension travel is 123 mm and rear travel is 44 mm. Colours listed are Black Yellow, Blue and Lime Green.

Warranty

No warranty terms are published on Benelli’s Pakistan website. Ask the dealer to confirm the warranty, service costs and parts availability, which matter more on a four-cylinder bike.

Which version to buy

One version is listed. Be careful with the price: the ex-factory list we used gives Rs 2,560,000 for the TNT 600, while the same site separately lists the TNT 600i as discontinued at a higher figure, and a dealer was quoting Rs 3,100,000 on booking in 2024. Confirm the current price with Benelli Pakistan before booking. In our opinion, the TNT 600i is for experienced riders who want the sound and top-end rush of an inline-four at a lower price than Japanese 600s. Its drawbacks are its weight, uncertain pricing and the lack of clearly stated ABS. Riders who want strong performance with more low-down torque should also consider the 752S.
