DSK Benelli announces limited-run TNT 600i in gold

The Benelli TNT 600i is notable enough for it’s price/performance ratio. It’s an honest inline-4 with the wail that we love so much, makes a decent amount of power, looks the business and is well-specified. At an ex-showroom price of under Rs six lac, it’s also the cheapest entry into the four-cylinder club. But what if you really like the package, but would prefer a bit more bling? A visual touch that would attract attention at the club, the corner, or possibly from the stratosphere? DSK Benelli have you covered with the limited-edition TNT 600i, in a very festive gold paintjob. Even the levers are gold! Available starting October 3 for an ex-showroom Pune price of Rs 5,66,000, it comes just in time for the Diwali shopping season when we traditionally buy… well, gold. When in Rome/Pune…

To be fair to the bike, it’s a very sorted handler and one of the only bikes in the price bracket to have an adjustable rear suspension, shared across the 600 and 300 range. The motor remains unchanged, which is a docile unit while pottering around town and delivering all of its 85bhp and 54.6Nm of torque beyond 10,500rpm.
