2023 Benelli 302S

MOVING TARGET

Benelli has shattered the power dynamic in the lightweight naked sport category with its latest and greatest entrant into the category, the 302S. A direct descendant of the legendary TNT 300, the 302S builds on its predecessor's primal sound and extreme competence and takes it to the next level. Sporting devastating Italian lines from its spectacularly aggressive headlight all the way back to its ultra LED taillight, the 302S delivers outstanding performance, futuristic technology, and economic advantages beyond the reach of any legitimate rivals.

Features may include:

• PARALLEL TWIN

The TNT 302S gets its punching power from a high-revving 300cc eight-valve, four-stroke parallel twin engine, featuring electronic fuel injection (EFI) a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), and TLI injection. This streetfighter cranks out 38 horsepower at 11,500 rpm with a high 12:1 compression ratio. With more than 125-horsepower-per-liter on tap, the deceptively simple and clever parallel twin design provides smooth, torquey power in a lightweight package with studio-worthy acoustics.

• FUTURISTIC HEADLIGHT

The TNT 302’s completely redesigned and upgraded headlight utilizes the latest technology. Now LED, fully transparent, larger in proportion, and with an angular and more detailed design, the new headlight represents both a technological and stylistic step forward compared to its predecessor.

• ASYMMETRIC LCD INSTRUMENTATION

The fully LCD digital display has upgraded functionality and a free-spirited design. Easier to read than the semi-liquid crystal, semi-mechanical design of the TNT 300, it also includes several new functions, including a mileage display that freely switches from mile to kilometer, gear display, and time display, allowing for smarter commuting.

• BEST-IN-CLASS DISK BRAKES

The TNT 302S has the ability to decelerate as well as it accelerates, thanks to the stopping power and control provided by its dual disc brakes. The TNT 302S features floating wavy front rotors, braided stainless steel brake lines, and dual, four-piston-per, calipers. No other bike in its class can offer all of these features or provide the same unparalleled feel and control.
