More low and mid-range torque headline the engine updates thanks to an optimised lifting of the pushrod and rockers timing cams, plus a consequent adapting of the engine control electronics. The bike is also now Euro-5 compliant.
Moto Guzzi has given the bike new spoked wheel rims with tubeless tires. This has resulted in a 1.5kg weight reduction, which Guzzi says further enhances the bike's riding dynamic.
There are also two new riding modes, joining the existing three riding modes. Sport and Custom join Street, Rain, and Off-Road, giving owners more control over traction control, ABS and the ride-by-wire throttle. Cruise control and TFT instrumentation come standard, while there is a vast range of accessories and options available, including the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform.
In the graphics department, there are three new options with Nero Etna (black), Giallo Mojave (red/yellow/white), and Rosso Uluru (red/white/black).
Released in 2020, the Moto Guzzi V85 TT Travel will also receive the updates of the standard model. The higher-spec model comes standard with a comprehensive equipment package which includes a toruing windscreen, side panniers, extra LED lights, adjustable heated grips, and the MIA platform.
While pricing and final specification is yet to be revealed, Moto Guzzi says we can expect both machines to arrive in April or May, 2021.
