Benelli TNT600i

The Benelli TNT 600i is a middleweight roadster motorcycle from the Chinese-owned Italian manufacturer that, when launched in India, will rival the likes of Honda CB650R and the Kawasaki Z650. While the company is yet to reveal any details about the India-bound model, reports have speculated that QJ SRK 600 could be rebranded as the Benelli TNT 600i and introduced in our market.

The QJ SRK 600, which is available in select international markets, packs a major styling upgrade over the Benelli TNT 600i that was sold in India in the BS4 guise. The motorcycle gets an aggressive headlamp with full LED lighting, a more muscular fuel tank with extensions that look edgier, and a redesigned rear section that drops the twin under-seat exhausts setup for a single-sided, underbelly unit.

The chassis appears to be similar to the discontinued TNT 600i, although the motorcycle uses a new swingarm. The suspension tasks are handled by upside-down front forks and a rear mono-shock. The braking department comprises a twin rotor at the front and a single disc at the back. The SRK 600 uses a 600cc, inline-four-cylinder motor. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, the engine produces 80.4bhp and 55Nm of peak torque. We expect the India-bound TNT 600i to pack similar power and torque output figures.
