records and analyses inputs from the ride and transmits this data to the control unit , which then takes action to optimise control parameters as necessary .
The six-axis platform allows the full potential of Cornering ABS , developed in collaboration with Continental , to be exploited to ensure maximum safety on the road . This system can enhance braking and ABS intervention while cornering , facilitated by a dedicated algorithm that continually monitors various parameters including lateral acceleration , front brake lever pressure , lean angle , pitching , and yawing . It dynamically adjusts the brake action to ensure an optimal balance between deceleration and stability .
There are five distinct Riding Modes available : Tourism , Rain , Street , Sport , and Off-Road . Each mode offers three different engine maps , four levels of traction control , three levels of engine brake and two levels of ABS control . Moto Guzzi ’ s technology is designed not only to enhance safety and enjoyment in riding but also to simplify life on the road .
The rider simply needs to choose the Riding Mode that best aligns with their riding preferences to automatically achieve the optimal adjustment of the electronic parameters in use . These settings can also be personalised , allowing riders to fine-tune the parameters to match their individual preferences .
Tourism : This Riding Mode is tailored for longdistance travel . In this mode , the Engine Brake Intervention ( MGFM ) is set to a moderate level , aiding deceleration when the throttle is closed . The Power Delivery ( MGCM ) is progressive , at level 2 out of 3 , and the Traction Control ( MGCT ) is set at level three out of four for added stability .
Rain : This mode is optimised for challenging weather conditions . Engine braking is set at a moderate level and power delivery is very gentle ( level 3 out of 3 ). Traction control is at its highest level for maximum safety during acceleration .
Road : In this mode , the electronic settings are geared towards typical road driving . Engine braking is at a medium level , power delivery ( MGCM ) is progressive ( level 2 out of 3 ), and traction control ( MGCT ) is configured at the second level out of four .
Sport : Electronic adjustments are precisely tuned to deliver an exhilarating sporty riding experience . Engine braking is minimal , power delivery ( MGCM ) is more direct and sportier ( level 1 out of 3 ) and traction control ( MGCT ) is the least obtrusive ( level one out of four ). The ABS calibration enables very firm braking .
Off-Road : This mode is designed explicitly for offroad adventures . Engine braking is pronounced and power delivery is at its most direct . Traction control and ABS are finely tuned for off-road use . Traction control has minimal intervention , while ABS is active only on the front wheel . This configuration enables off-road enthusiasts to enjoy their adventures without the risk of losing control of the motorcycle . Moreover , it is possible to deactivate both traction control ( across all riding modes ) and ABS on both wheels ( in Off-Road mode only ) for added flexibility and control .
The standard equipment includes a full LED lighting system with Daytime Running Lights ( DRLs ), the ‘ bending lights ’ system ( which adds extra headlamps in the windshields to illuminate the inside of corners , improving visibility when leaning ), and a USB port located beside the instrumentation . The latter is a 5-inch colour TFT panel offering a range of information , such as fuel level , air and coolant temperature , gear engaged indicator , remaining range and instantaneous consumption .
Additional accessories include Moto Guzzi MIA , the multimedia platform enabling smartphone connectivity with the instrumentation through Bluetooth . Moto Guzzi MIA combines an infotainment system for managing voice assistant , phone calls , and music using intuitive handlebar controls , as well as a navigation feature . With this feature , after setting the destination on your smartphone , you can display directions directly on the instrumentation .
Moto Guzzi Stelvio is available with or without PFF Rider Assistance Solution .
There are two colour variants , both matte : Giallo Savana , which features a dark yellow hue on the front of the tank and on the side panels and the more elegant Nero Vulcano , dominated by the black / grey combination , with some yellow highlights on the tank and side panels .
