In 2008, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Benelli Tre-K 1130 Amazonas, an enduro motorcycle that debuted in 2007. Unlike the base model, the Amazonas version was created to tackle any type of terrain and road.
The 2008 version came in the same shape and form as the previous one, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance characteristics without any significant modifications whatsoever.
Some notable features included the frame, designed to handle every shock in any situation, the new position of the radiator that allowed high thermal exchanges at low speed and off-road use, and the rear end, which was designed to guarantee the best stability, comfortability, and suspension reaction.
It came equipped with standard fittings, like a dual headlight system, small side fairings, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, a three-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted under the seat, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.
Suspension-wise, the motorcycle packed a 50 mm inverted Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front with 180 mm of travel and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 180 mm of travel.
As for the power figures, the 2008 Benelli Tre-K 1130 Amazonas had installed a 1,130cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine at its core, boasting 123 hp with a peak at 9,000 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.
