Walkaround Video Details The 2020 Benelli TNT 600i

When the Benelli TNT 600i first stepped in our territory, it went on to become quite successful in its segment. It was the most affordable inline-4 motorcycle at that time and was particularly loved by motorcyclists around the country for its eargasmic exhaust note. Owners right away installed aftermarket exhausts to harness the full potential of the aural drama it came packed with. Now that the TNT 600i is no longer on sale in India, an updated version of the same is already being sold in China. We stumbled across this walkaround video of the 2020 Benelli TNT 600i which gives us a detailed look at the inline-4 screamer.

The video starts off with a good look at the new TFT instrument cluster. Details regarding the same are still sparse but by the looks of it, it will pack a lot more information than the outgoing model’s semi-digital instrument cluster. It might even come with a few connectivity options. After the cameraman fires up the engine, it establishes the fact that it is still a sweet-sounding motorcycle and settles in a bassy inline-4 hum. The video also gives us a detailed look at the overall styling of the motorcycle. While it essentially remains a TNT 600i and retains the same silhouette, it looks sharper than before. The updated motorcycle gets a restyled, full-LED headlight coupled with LED indicators hinting that it is just a mid-life update and Benelli could give it a major overhaul sometime in the near future. Spy images that were revealed earlier showcased a TNT 600i which was way sharper than the updated model which is currently on sale in China and featured an updated fuel tank design accompanied by a new headlight setup.

There is no word regarding its India launch and we don’t know whether we will get the same model featured in this video or Benelli will offer us the rumoured 2021 TNT 600i.
