In 2017, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Benelli BN 302, an entry-level motorcycle in its third consecutive production year. The bike came in the same shape and form as previous models without significant changes.
The Benelli BN 302, also known in other export markets as the TNT 300, was a medium-small displacement motorcycle that debuted in 2015. It was first presented at the 2013 EICMA Show in November alongside the Benelli BN 600 GT.
Some notable features included the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, an exhaust system with two catalytic converters and two oxygen sensors, a steel trestle frame, and an off-set rear shock absorber.
The bike had standard features in the aesthetic department, such as a single headlight unit, a small wind deflector, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, an under-belly exhaust system, and 12-spoke alloy wheels.
In the performance department, the 2017 Benelli BN 302 had its heartbeat set by a 300cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled powerhouse with a fuel injection system feeding the pistons, delivering an output power of 37 hp at 11,500 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) torque at 9,000 rpm.
In the safety department, the motorcycle's wheels were equipped with two 260 mm brake rotors with four-piston calipers on the front and a 240 mm brake disc with a two-piston caliper mounted on the rear, delivering excellent braking performance.
