GUZZI ' S NEW TRAVELLER

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi suggest “ The Wait Is Over !”.
The ‘ all-new ’ V100 Mandell is almost here , something Moto Guzzi say is the “ bike of the future ”.
Two versions of the all-new roadster will be available , which differ in graphics and content : Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello , that is packed with standard equipment , and Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S , which will reach an even higher level of equipment and technology .
The V100 Mandello opens an entirely new chapter in Moto Guzzi history . It is a bike that shuns being catalogued in a specific category , combining agility on curvy routes with the innate ability to travel embodied in every Moto Guzzi .
This is a never-before-seen Moto Guzzi characterised by cutting-edge technology , paving the way towards the future with innovative technical solutions and aerodynamics not seen before for the Italian brand . The V100 Mandello ’ s innovation starts with its design which begins with the enhancement of its unique and inimitable twin-cylinder powerplant . Lines that have nothing to do with nostalgia , but which reinterpret the typical keystones of the Moto Guzzi stylistic language with a modern twist .
A turning point in the brand ' s history , leading to the introduction of extremely significant technological innovations : the first motorcycle with adaptive aerodynamics , the first Moto Guzzi equipped with six-axis inertial platform , cornering ABS , semi-active suspension , and quickshift , to name just a few of the most significant features .
The V100 Mandello is also the first Moto Guzzi to be powered by the new compact block engine , with its sophisticated technical characteristics . Tradition is respected with the 90-degree transverse V-twin architecture , which guarantees that unique torque delivery and inimitable Moto Guzzi sound , but the project is in fact all-new and boasts much greater performance – 115hp and 105Nm of torque , with 82 per cent of which already available as low as 3500rpm .
The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello is expected in showrooms during the second quarter of 2023 , pricing is yet to be confirmed .
