The design idea used
for the development of the Cafè Racer was
that of creating a TNT inspired by the racing bikes
of the past, but with a series of unique, sophisticated
details to make it modern and effective.
The result is a motorcycle with an extraordinary
personality - a bike which simultaneously offers
riding comfort and extreme performance thanks to
its exceptional components: a higher and more protective
windscreen for greater aerodynamic protection, lower
clip-on handlebars in aluminium alloy, single seat
ballypan and tailpiece to experience the thrills
of riding a true racer alone, eccentric foot board
adjustment system, carbon parts and seat support.
As with the design, the colour was also inspired
by the past for an exceptional aesthetic impact
and to make the Café Racer even more exclusive
in the world gamma of the Streetfighters.
An important innovation in the motor: as in all
of the TNT model year 2005 versions, The Café
Racer offers the possibility of modifying motor
functions by simply pressing a lighted button on
the dash support. The engine control unit can be
switched between free power and controlled power
for better control of the motorcycle in poor traction
conditions. This also guarantees a decrease in fuel
consumption of 10-20% depending on driving style
and on the road.
The free power configuration makes it possible to
fully enjoy the torque features and motor power,
while the controlled power configuration makes it
possible to enjoy using the bike easily in the city,
even on asphalt with poor traction, either alone
or with a passenger, without stress.
The exclusive technical aspects are also seen
in the exceptional cycle: this version sports
a powerful 50 mm fork completely adjustable in
compression, extension and spring preload, with
a hardened surface to improve the sliding qualities
which contribute to making the road holding solid
and precise.
The back shock absorber body is in Ergal - light
and unique in the world panorama; it is completely
adjustable in extension and spring preload to
offer a good level of performance constancy and
to make riding safe in all asphalt conditions.
The attention given to the quest for lightness and
performance is confirmed by the use of Marchesini
rims in forged and machined aluminium alloy and
the Brembo braking system which mounts a 4 piston
radial calliper and a 320 mm diameter double disk
at the front.
The TNT Café Racer is the result of a
perfect blend of stylistic solutions and exclusive,
sophisticated technique which come together to
fully satisfy the performance levels which today's
motorcycle riders demand.
