In 2016, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Benelli Tornado Naked T, a naked motorcycle available in 125 and 135cc displacements, and came as a stylish alternative to the Honda Grom.
The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by standard features, such as a single headlight unit, a two-piece dual seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, a single shock absorber on the rear, and 12-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
It was built around a steel tube trellis frame, and for suspension, it packed a 41 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm of travel and a spring preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 50 mm of travel.
As for the stopping power, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with a 220 mm steel brake disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 190 mm brake disc coupled to a single-piston caliper, providing excellent braking performance.
In the performance department, the 2016 Benelli Tornado Naked T had installed a 124cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 12 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm and 9 Nm (7 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
The power generated by the engine was controlled by a five-speed transmission that sent it to the rear end via a final chain drive.
