2016 Benelli TnT25 debuts in Malaysia – RM12,990

2016 Benelli TnT25 (2)

Making its way to Malaysia is the 2016 Benelli TnT25, a 250 cc naked single that follows the mold of Benelli’s bigger motorcycles. Malaysian distributor Benelli Keeway Motorcycles (BKM) has brought in the TnT25 to claim its stake in the burgeoning 250 cc scene.

The single-cylinder engine puts out 25.2 hp at 9,000 rpm, and torque is 21.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm – perfectly respectable numbers for an engine this size. A six-speed gearbox drives a chain for the final drive.

Launched in Italy, India, Thailand, and Indonesia in November last year, the 2016 TnT25 is intended for the rider stepping up to a proper 250 cc motorcycle from the kapchai and scooter class, or a rider wanting a basic, but stylish bike for everyday use.

“The introduction of this model is to provide yet another choice to the end-users. Apart from that, BKM hopes with this model, it would be able to strengthen its market position and if it turns out to have a huge impact, than it will be a bonus to us,” BKM’s senior manager of business development Wan Najib Wan Daud said.

The 2016 Benelli TnT25 is priced at RM12,990 before GST. It comes in two colours, green and red, and will be available in motorcycle shops by the end of January. The TnT25 comes with a one year or 10,000 km warranty, and owners registering their TnT25 on BKM’s website will enjoy an additional three-month warranty.

    Now all those lazy, jobless Mat Motor, whom mainly race in Kesas on weekends will be so happy. Now they can aim in life to get this motor. Lazy idiots, don’t work, but expect the Government to give them discounts and help in everything.

    And then tax the local emergencies in all the Government hospitals when they accident. Genuine people rushed to hospitals cannot see the doctor for hours cause most of the hospitals are filled with Mat Rempits with broken head, leg or hand.

      This is too heavy for rempiting. The maintenance cost itself is consider high, then no more money for modification or bets.

            There are 250 with 2 cylinders and also the ones with single piston. Like cbr250r or ktm RC. If u can’t differentiate the differences there is not much we can help here.
