The ETHOS Supersport A.I. marks a groundbreaking debut from the Benelli Performance Shop as the first competition shotgun to incorporate the Advanced Impact (A.I.) barrel system and A.I. Crio® choke tubes. Chambered in 3-inch 12-gauge, it’s built to deliver top-tier performance on the range. A sleek carbon-fiber finish pairs with the Comfort Tech® 3 recoil reduction system, a nickel-plated receiver, and bold red anodized Briley accents—including the bolt handle, bolt release, and weighted forend cap—for a look as sharp as its performance. With advanced engineering and standout style, the ETHOS Supersport A.I. sets a new benchmark in competitive shooting. (Available exclusively in 12-gauge)

BE.S.T BENELLI SURFACE TREATMENT
Benelli BE.S.T. surface treatment is simply the most effective rust and corrosion firearm protection available. Benelli is so confident in the BE.S.T performance that treated parts are backed with a 25-year warranty against rust and corrosion.
CRIO SYSTEM
The Crio® System combines a barrel frozen to -300° F with a specially designed longer choke tube that is also cryogenically treated. The result is a denser, more uniform shot pattern that puts more pellets on target.
INERTIA DRIVEN SYSTEM
The Inertia Driven® System never needs adjusting and will cycle anything from light field loads to 3½" magnums with consistent reliability year after year. In fact, there are Inertia Driven® Benelli shotguns that have fired more than 500,000 rounds, still in the field and functioning perfectly.
EASY LOCKING BOLT SYSTEM
Versatility without compromise: having a shotgun with a 3½" chamber does not mean you must always shoot the powerful stuff. The SBE 3's patented locking mechanism works flawlessly with all shotgun loads from light clay loads to the ultimate goose-busters.
COMFORT TECH 3
ComforTech was the first recoil-reduction system of its kind. By splitting the stock diagonally and utilizing shock-absorbing chevrons, the entire stock was transformed into a recoil pad. This chevron system, now 16 years old, is still the most efficient design available and was the basis for the SBE 3 stock. The chevron size and location has been optimized on ComforTech 3. Further, Benelli engineers created a new cheek-comb pad called Combtech, which greatly reduces facial impact and vibrations.
