The motorcycle produces maximum power of 12.06 bhp@8500 RPM and a torque of 11.0 NM @ 6000 RPM , the two-valve engine has a compression ratio of 9.2:1 and is plonked on a normal tubular chassis.

In terms of looks, the TNT 15 sports a muscular, sculpted fuel tank with styling clearly taking inspiration from bigger Benellis. The headlamp is reminiscent of the TNT 300 and the TNT 15 also gets tank extension panels, colour coordinated belly pan, split seats and a stubby side-mounted exhaust.
Suspension consists of telescopic front forks and a monoshock rear, and braking duties are handled by a single disc at the front with a rear drum.
