Benelli Tornado Tre 900 Novecento

The Tornado is the only production bike with the radiator under the seat, drawing fresh air in through two dynamic ducts with two vertical inlets under the indicators.

This solution not only stops heat from building up at the centre of the vehicle, but also reduces the size of the front of the bike, making it more aerodynamic.

The philosophy behind the Tornado Novecento Tre is that of a bike built around the rider. The many aerodynamic tests carried out allowed the elimination of all turbulence which might tire the rider and disturb his/her driving.

In this way, the rider is perfectly integrated, becoming more at one with the bike. Fabulous colours and graphics enhance the Tornado’s lines. The bike is available in exclusive grey/green colours, in the aggressive red version and with elegant grey/black livery.

The frame was made by joining the front part, including the steering pivot and the side trellis frame structure made of molybdenum chrome steel to the rear part, made of cast aluminium alloy.

The two parts are made integral by strong screws securing the four trellises, which allow an extremely solid join, reinforced by structural gluing, as in the aeronautical industry, to completely exclude micro-movements and vibrations.

The front fork is made by Marzocchi to a Benelli design, with a pressed end and Ergal 55 tubes. The suspension has adjustable rebound, compression and spring pre-loading, so that the bike can be rapidly adapted to the rider’s preferences. The length-adjustable feature also allows the rear suspension to be raised or lowered according to the desired set up.

The Tornado Novecento Tre is the only bike in the world which uses the Extreme Technology rear shock with an Ergal 55 central body. As well as being stronger and lighter than the conventional models, its temperatures remain lower, providing constant performance.
