“WHEN THE TARMAC ENDS…… A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS!”
 Why should you stop when the road ends?
We live on the same horizon, but we have different views.
 That’s Benelli’s answer to the riders who go further !
“Outside the known limits”
A fully new bike for a new way of ride from the research and development dept.
 A new product for exclusive adventures.
FRAME
 The frame is designed to resist every shock in any situation.
 An easy ride and sensitivity to reactions were the targets of Benelli’s technicians during the project.
 New geometry for new adventures. 
FRONT RADIATOR
 The new position of the radiator allows high thermal exchanges at low speed and during off road use. All made to improve reliability .
 The new frame is suited to the new requirements.
 The new shape guarantees an easy ride and a ride neutrality, both being unique features for a bike in this class.
REAR SUSPENSION
 The rear end is designed to guarantee the best stability and the easiest way to ride without loosing comfort or suspension reaction.
 The TRE 1130 K is safe to ride in any conditions.
