EICMA: 2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio

After almost a 10-year hiatus, Moto Guzzi has relaunched the Stelvio name in the form of an off-road version of the firm’s shape-shifting V100 Mandello.

Unveiled at this year’s EICMA Motorcycle Expo in Milan, the new shaft-driven adventure bike is powered by the 1042cc water-cooled 90° transverse V-twin that’s capable of 85kW of power at 8700rpm and 105Nm of torque at 6750rpm.

As well as a 19-inch front wheel and longer-travel suspension, the new Stelvio is the first Moto Guzzi to employ radar-enabled electronic rider aids. Developed by a robotics subsidiary owned by parent company Piaggio, the Stelvio boasts adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot detection and lane-change assist.

Other goodies include a six-axis IMU and five switchable riding modes (Touring, Rain, Road, Sport and Off-road) which adjusts engine braking as well as traction control and ABS intervention accordingly.

While Moto Guzzi wants us to focus on the electronic gadgetry of the new Stelvio, details around hardware are still pretty scant. We know the windshield is electrically adjustable, we can see that the braking is courtesy of Brembo, while the fork looks to be the same USD KYB unit found in the Mandello. And if history is anything to go by, we can expect a higher-spec S model to be announced that’s likely to sport electronic Öhlins suspension as part of the upgrade.
