The TNT 899 is Benelli's middleweight triple roadster, slotting between the Triumph Street Triple and Speed Triple in size. It has a trellis frame, an exposed engine with an underseat exhaust and small tank-coloured side panels, and was shown in black. Styling is deliberately Italian and aggressive rather than Japanese-inspired.
