[Original]Finally, the Chinese Benelli TNT899 will be launched soon

Although Motor Benelli Terbaru 2023 has made a lot of moves in recent years, in the large displacement market, it always gives people a feeling of squeezing toothpaste, sitting on Benelli’s three-cylinder technology for more than ten years, but only last year we really saw the new Benelli 1200GT under the banner of Qianjiang. We need the original Benelli triple, and now Qianjiang has finally squeezed out the toothpaste that has been squeezed for years, with the domestic TNT899 finally coming to us this year.

The TNT899 was still an imported car in the domestic market a few years ago, but at a price of over 100,000 yuan, it was not a niche Italian car with zero electric control.

In the years that followed, news of the localisation of the TNT899 was always in the gossip of dealers and enthusiasts alike, but not once was it ever confirmed. The picture is of the TNT899, which had been circulating on the internet for a few years. The picture is real and Qianjiang had produced the finished product and intended to put it on the market, but the overly Qianjiangised look of the TNT took away all the essence of the TNT.

In November last year, the “Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products” catalogue revealed a new “BJ90(parameters|quote) 0” from Qianjiang, and when I looked at it, it was the TNT899. The TNT899 has been unveiled at the Chongqing Motor Show, further confirming the news that the TNT899 will be made in China. As can be seen from the declaration, the TNT899 continues 99% of the design of the old model in terms of appearance, but there are also configuration improvements, the more obvious parts being the light cluster and the brake system.

Depending on the style of the brakes and the saddle, the domestic TNT899 will still be divided into two configurations, high and low, but this is not important, the key point is the original powertrain; still provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, this three-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 88kW (120hp), a figure that is still good enough to look at in front of the current 100,000 street bikes such as the Z900 and F900R, and the familiar Marzocchi damping is also still retained.

The official production line of the domestic TNT899 was revealed this year by intentional or unintentional reveal, and it can be seen that it is equipped with Brembo Stylema high-performance opposed four-piston calipers after its localisation (the lower version should be Brembo M4.32).

The biggest surprise is that, in addition to ABS, the domestic TNT899 also comes with a quick-shift and TC (Traction Control) system, both of which will make it much more competitive and, if it arrives this year as promised, will probably be the first domestic large-displacement street car with TC.

Another less important detail is the headlights, which have all been upgraded with LED clusters, but still have the familiar ‘mantis head’ shape.

Conclusion.

The TNT899 is really ill-fated, having been localised countless times, finally ushering in definitive news this year, but let’s not forget that previously Benelli had dealt with a number of National III stock imports, including the TNT899, TNT1130 and Tre-K899, the prices of which were quite a surprise, and if the localised TNT899 can make the prices more If the localised TNT899 can become more “domestic”, then it is not impossible for the price to fall to the period of 60-70,000 yuan. After all, for Benelli, the lesson of the Young Master 800 is very deep, and the TNT899, being a Chinese special, must show sincerity.
