Why the Benelli TNT125 & TNT135 Tornado +TNT Naked Bash Plate Is Worth Every Penny

Let’s start with materials, because that’s where quality is made or broken. The benelli tnt125 & tnt135 tornado +tnt naked bash plate is CNC laser cut from British-made alloy, delivering precision tolerances, clean edges, and a finish that holds up in genuine real-world conditions. There are no rough edges left to snag wiring or cables, no sloppy metalwork, and no corners cut in the manufacturing process.

This is a properly engineered piece of kit that does its job quietly, effectively, and without drawing attention to itself — which, when it comes to protective hardware, is exactly what you want.

The alloy construction strikes an excellent balance between strength and weight. You’re not lugging around unnecessary mass, and your bike’s handling characteristics won’t be compromised. What you do get is a meaningful layer of defence between the underside of your engine and the road debris, stones, and surprise kerb strikes that are an unavoidable part of everyday riding in the UK.

The bash plate sits close to the frame and engine, keeping its profile tight and unobtrusive while still providing the coverage that matters when it counts.

The bash plate bolts directly to the standard frame fixing points on your TNT125 or TNT135. That means no drilling, no fabrication, and no need to rope in a mate with specialist tools. If you’ve got a basic socket set and half an hour to spare, you can have this fitted and be back on the road before the kettle’s boiled. It’s genuinely that straightforward, and the confidence it adds on every ride is well worth the modest time investment.

Critically, the benelli tnt125 & tnt135 tornado +tnt naked bash plate has been developed to work seamlessly with both the standard factory silencer on the TNT125 and TNT135, and with a wide range of aftermarket downpipes and performance cans. Whether your Benelli is running completely stock or you’ve already treated it to a performance exhaust upgrade, fitment is clean, clearances are correct, and there’s no risk of fouling pipes or creating annoying rattle points down the line.

Much like the precision engineering behind our BSA Gold Star de res pipe 304 Stainless Steel, this bash plate was built with real-world compatibility front of mind.

Fitment Guide for the Benelli TNT125 & TNT135 Tornado +TNT Naked Bash Plate

Fitting the benelli tnt125 & tnt135 tornado +tnt naked bash plate is about as straightforward as motorcycle maintenance gets. The plate uses the existing frame fixing points on your TNT125 or TNT135, which means you won’t need to source additional brackets, bolts, or spacers — provided your frame is unmodified and stock. Everything you need to complete the installation is already on the bike.

We’d always recommend a quick dry fit before final tightening. Offer the plate up to the frame, confirm alignment, and check clearance around your downpipe or silencer before torquing everything down. This takes no more than a few minutes and ensures a solid, rattle-free result. Once fitted, the bash plate sits flush against the frame — purposeful and unobtrusive — adding genuine protection without looking like it was bolted on as an afterthought.

If you’ve already fitted an aftermarket performance exhaust to your Benelli, you’ll be pleased to know this bash plate was developed with exactly that combination in mind. The clearances are dialled in, the mounting is solid, and the overall result is a tidy, well-integrated setup that looks and feels like it belongs. Similar attention to detail can be found across our range, including our Triumph 765 Moto 2 De-Cat pipe, where fitment precision is never an afterthought.

Important Note on Intended Use of the Benelli TNT125 & TNT135 Tornado +TNT Naked Bash Plate

We want to be completely upfront about what the benelli tnt125 & tnt135 tornado +tnt naked bash plate is designed for. This is an accessory engineered for everyday road use and for riders who want a sensible, reliable level of engine protection on normal riding terrain. It’s ideal for commuters, urban riders, and those who occasionally venture onto rougher ground — unmade tracks, light bridleways, or poorly surfaced back roads.

What it is not designed for is serious off-road riding. If you’re planning to take your TNT125 or TNT135 down rock-strewn trails, through deep mud, or into genuinely demanding off-road environments, this bash plate — and frankly the bike itself — isn’t built for that kind of punishment. Used within its intended application, however, the bash plate will deliver years of quiet, reliable service and could very easily save you a costly engine repair bill from a well-aimed stone or an unexpected kerb strike.

Is it compatible with aftermarket performance exhausts and downpipes?
Yes, absolutely. The bash plate was developed with aftermarket downpipe compatibility firmly in mind and works cleanly with both the standard factory can and a range of performance aftermarket setups.

The bolt-on design using factory fixing points means there’s no cutting, drilling, welding, or specialist knowledge required. It’s a genuinely straightforward job that any competent home mechanic can tackle with confidence.

What is the bash plate made from?
The benelli tnt125 & tnt135 tornado +tnt naked bash plate is CNC laser cut from British-made alloy, offering an excellent balance of strength and low weight. Your bike’s handling won’t be compromised, and the alloy construction provides solid, long-lasting protection against the kind of road debris and kerb strikes that are an everyday reality for UK riders.

Does it reduce ground clearance noticeably?
The bash plate is designed to sit close to the frame and engine without hanging unnecessarily low. Any bash plate will reduce ground clearance marginally, but in real-world use the reduction is minimal and is far outweighed by the protection it provides. For everyday road use and light off-road terrain, you simply won’t notice the difference.
