With aggressive styling and a powerful engine, the Benelli TNT 135 will attract young enthusiasts. Powering this mini sport bike is a 135cc, 4-stroke engine churning out 12.4bhp (12.6PS) and 10.8Nm of torque. The bike is claimed to be high on performance and fuel efficiency. Speaking at the opening a new DSK Benelli showroom in Vadodra, Shirish Kulkarni, DSK Motowheels hairman said “We are busy completing the formalities, including trial, before commercially launching a 135cc mini bike by March next”. Also Read: DSK Benelli TNT 25 Price, Specifications, Mileage & Images
