Italian Moto Guzzi, one of the most exclusive motorcycle brands in the world, presented its rich and exclusive product range to motorcycle lovers at Motobike Istanbul 2024 held at Istanbul Expo Center.
Moto Guzzi, represented by Doğan Trend Otomotiv in Turkey, exhibited the V100 Mandello, V7 Special Red Stripe Twin Tone, V85 TT Travel Grigia Grigna, V7 Stone Corsa, V85 TT GDO, V9 Bobber Special Edition and V100 Mandello S models at the fair.
Moto Guzzi, which celebrated its 103rd anniversary in March, hits the hearts of adventure lovers with the Stelvio, which is offered for sale at a price of 749 thousand TL.
The brand, which made a groundbreaking technical breakthrough in 2022 and launched its innovative motorcycle, the V100 Mandello, which was thought and designed completely from scratch, began to offer brand new technologies to its users with this motorcycle, which has a completely new liquid-cooled 90-degree transverse V-twin engine. Now, starting from this modern technical basis, the brand has introduced the new Stelvio.
Even the design has traces of the V-twin engine
Although the Stelvio has several interesting twin-cylinder engines available, only one has a 90-degree transverse V-twin engine configuration.
The engine has a very distinctive and unique character in the way it delivers torque. The V-type twin engine is not only the most important feature of the Stelvio, but also zamAs with all other Moto Guzzis, it is also the center of its design. At the beginning of the entire design is a raised and sculpted engine, where the cylinders appear to pop out of the fuel tank, and then a very contemporary style is adopted.
The geometric dissection of the main bodywork components, centered between the fuel tank and the seat, further reveals the elegance of its lines, while continuing to draw extraordinary attention to complex details.
Whichever way you look at it, it's definitely a Moto Guzzi
Moto Guzzi Stelvio turns its power on zamIt takes its name from the engine unit that was currently introduced in the V100 Mandello. However, it stands out in many aspects, further increasing the overall satisfaction of the driving experience. The liquid-cooled, double overhead camshaft, 4-valve per cylinder, 90-degree transversely placed V-type twin engine at the heart of the Stelvio has a volume of 1042 cc and an internal diameter-stroke of 96 x 72 mm. Complying with Euro 5+ emission standards, the engine guarantees a sporty driving experience with its 8.700 HP power at 115 rpm and 6.750 Nm torque at 105 rpm.
Producing 82 percent of the maximum torque at an early speed of 3.500 rpm increases smoothness and increases the effect of sporty driving. Also modern design, same zamIt provides advantages such as low fuel consumption (5,1 l/100 km) and the need for service every 6.000 km.
The redesigned 6-speed transmission on the motorcycle provides even smoother and flawless gear shifts. Quickshift (available as an accessory) performance has been improved thanks to new electronic actuation strategies.
The bike's signature Brembo braking system includes a pair of 320mm floating steel discs at the front, linked by radial-mount monoblock calipers. The handlebar master cylinder, along with the clutch master cylinder, has a radial design and both have adjustable levers for distance to the handlebar. For the rear brake, a 280 mm disc with a double-piston caliper was used.
Stelvio also loves winding roads
Compared to the unit used in the V100 Mandello, the front end has been completely redesigned, making it more powerful. Moreover, it now has different sizes. The chassis also has four front mounting points instead of the two found on the V100 Mandello, which increases rigidity by 20 percent.
The 1520 mm wheelbase and 25,6° steering angle provide agility and sporting ability on roads full of bends.
Continuing Moto Guzzi's long-standing tradition of on/off-road motorcycles, the new Stelvio zamWhile it provides a more comfortable stance in line with the touring concept, it also has wide, adjustable-section aluminum handlebars that are perfect for off-road control.
