The model TNT 899 is reviewed with particular reference to the frame, giving this motorcycle a more sporting attitude: First of all the colour of the �centenary�: this is the green of the racing Benelli motorbikes of Pasolini in a modern interpretation; The introduction of the historical brand Benelli of the 60�s; The front fork �MARZOCCHI� becomes completely adjustable (DIA 50mm) and the finishing becomes black (black oxydation of the fork sliders); Use of front radial calipers 'BREMBO' Front brake discs (DIA 320mm) / rear (DIA 240mm), type 'WAVE' supplied by BRAKING; The seat is enriched thanks to the use of �alcantara� fabric; The 'trim and colour' of the model has been renewed. The single-seat rear cowling has been introduced; The map of the engine has been reset; The camshaft cover and the spring of the rear shock absorber is now yellow and characterise the sporting touch of the Century Racer. Availability: March 2011 Colours: Centenary Green
