MOTO MORINI ' S ITALIAN KANGAROO

Moto Morini has resurrected one of its most iconic names by unveiling the new Kanguro 300— a compact dual‐adventure bike designed to blend accessibility, style and off-road capability. The revival marks a clear statement: the brand is reaching back into its heritage of 1980s off-road machines while reinterpreting that legacy for the modern age.
The Kanguro 300 is powered by a liquidcooled, four-stroke single-cylinder 300 cc engine that produces about 34 hp and 27 Nm of torque, making it compliant with A2 licence regulations in many markets.
With its tall 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, long-travel suspension and deliberately rugged stance, the new Kanguro is built to be as comfortable navigating gravel tracks as it is carving through city traffic.
The design pays homage to the original Kanguro models of the’ 80s: sleek, upright, minimalist yet functional. The Italiandesigned styling emphasises a low centre of gravity via a fuel tank tucked under the seat and a slim overall profile that enhances maneuverability. Full LED lighting, switchable ABS( including an off-road mode) and modern instrumentation signal that this is no retro throwback, but a bike attuned to today ' s riding demands.
Importantly, Moto Morini will offer two distinct versions: a standard Kanguro for general adventure use, and a Kanguro 300 Rally variant tuned for more serious off-road activity. The Rally version features a low front fender, more compact windscreen and protective elements suited to tougher terrain, while sharing the same core engine and chassis setup.
