Moto Guzzi has been busy updating its current lineup with a new range of motorcycles.
Not only revamping its Mandello Del Lario factory, the Italian brand recently celebrated its 100th years anniversary by unveiling the V100 Mandello sport-tourer.
The V100 Mandello is the company most technologically-advanced motorcycle to date.
However, it seems Moto Guzzi does not plan to stop there, instead the Italian firm has just teased an upcoming V850 X set to roll out in 2022.
Looking at the company new direction with the V 85TT and the V100 Mandello, the new motorcycle could also carry a more modern design.
Looking back in October, a test mule was found roaming the street of Italy in a special test livery dubbed to be the next generation V7.
While the company did well to hide some finer details, the photos clearly show the V7 has received a modern touch.
However, the upcoming V850 X could combine the ruggedness of the V7 with the V85 TT off-roading capabilities.
According to reports, Moto Guzzi set up an incomplete website dedicated to the all-new V850 X with a text describing the new model as a “production special”, “technical heir” to the V7.
It also says the V850 X is a “synthesis of different worlds such as the flat track and that of the scrambler.”
The web page has since been taken down since the report went viral.
Nonetheless, Moto Guzzi is confirmed to roll out a couple of new models for 2022, we just not sure what’s the date. Either way, 2022 is set to be an exciting year.
In honour of a long-standing partnership with the Italian President’s security, Cuirassiers Regiment, Moto Guzzi has unveiled the limited edition V85 TT Guardia d’Honore.
Presented to the President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, the special bike sports a gloss black livery with white accents painted at the front mudguard, fuel tank, side panels and windscreen.
The V85 TT Guardia d’Honore also features a taller windscreen, a centre stand, engine guard and auxiliary LED lights.
Customers can also get their hands on model-specific side panniers.
According to Moto Guzzi, there are only 1,946 units available with each bike will have the unit number engraved on the handlebar riser.
Nevertheless, the V85 TT Guardia d’Honore continue to make 80hp @ 7,750rpm and 80Nm @ 5,000rpm from the 853cc transverse V-Twin air-cooled engine.
All modern electronics including traction control, TFT display also available as standard.
The V100 Mandello is not just another new motorcycle coming from Moto Guzzi, it also represents the brand bold move into the 21st century.
This is due to the fact that the V100 is the first production motorcycle to feature semi-active suspension, 6-axis IMU, cornering ABS, quickshifter and a liquid-cooled engine.
Basically, it is the first Moto Guzzi with everything modern and we are surprised that the V100 Mandello even has an adaptive aerodynamics package.
Nevertheless, as a sport-touring machine, the V100 Mandello still sport the classic element of a Moto Guzzi.
The V100 Mandello makes 115hp and 105Nm @ 3,500rpm from its 1,042cc transverse 90-degree V-Twin engine. The engine is also 103mm shorter than the V85 TT platform.
Thanks to a lower positioning of the drive shaft, the V100 Mandello offers a smooth ride during accelerating and decelerating on par to a bike with a chain drive.
It also features a 17.5L fuel tank and a large saddle comfortable for riders and pillion.
However, to increase comfort, the V100 is equipped with adaptive air deflectors located at the front fairing which extend to different degrees depending on the riding mode and bike speed.
According to Moto Guzzi, air deflectors can reduce wind disturbance up to 22%.
Moving on to the best bits, the V100 gets Öhlins semi-active suspension, traction control, three engine maps, and three engine braking that can be accessed via a 5″ TFT display.
The higher-spec V100 Mandello also features a quickshifter, heated grips, Moto Guzzi multimedia package and a smartphone connector.
Moto Guzzi is set to unveil the next-generation V7, as confirmed by the latest spy shot.
As the Italian firm celebrates its 100 years anniversary, the V7 has been the most popular Moto Guzzi range since its introduction in 2021.
While the V7 has now expanded to nine models in total, it has always offered the same retro-classic element.
However, things might change with the new V7 successor spied testing on the street in Italy.
The latest spy shot did not give away too much detail; however, we can clearly see a more modern silhouette compared to the previous generation of the V7.
While it may just be a tactic by the Italian firm to hide the real detail, we can confirm the front headlight appears smaller and compact in design.
Nonetheless, with EICMA just around the corner, the new V7 could make a surprise appearance alongside the already confirmed V100 Mandello.

Moto Guzzi mempunyai perancangan besar bagi tahun 2021 sempena ulang tahun ke-100 namun ekoran pandemik Covid-19, beberapa program terpaksa ditangguhkan.
Bagaimanapun, syarikat berpangkalan di Mandello del Lario, Itali itu membuat pengumuman besar antaranya perancangan pembinaan kilang baharu dan muzium serta mendedahkan model pertama dari generasi baharu Guzzi, V100 Mandello.
Meskipun maklumat rasmi hanya akan didedahkan di EICMA pada November ini namun difahamkan, V100 ini dikuasakan enjin V-Twin dengan penyejukan cecair yang mampu menjana sekitar 115hp.
Enjin 1000cc serba baharu tersebut dijangka bakal menjadi platform bagi beberapa model Moto Guzzi lain yang akan didedahkan di EICMA.
Langkah terbaru oleh Moto Guzzi ini dilihat bakal mencorak semula syarikat itu dalam menempatkan diri dikalangan pengeluar besar lain.
Moto Guzzi had big plans for 2021 in conjunction with its 100th anniversary (March 1921-March 2021).
However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the plan got delayed, including the traditional Guzzi’s worldwide gathering scheduled to take place in September.
Nonetheless, the Mandello-based company decided to unveil its future plans by announcing a new factory and museum in Mandello del Lario.
What caught our attention is that the announcement came with a series of photos of the upcoming V100 Mandello, said to be Moto Guzzi new generation of motorcycles.
While details will officially unveil at EICMA, the new motorcycle will feature a new liquid-cooled V-Twin motor with chain-driven double overhead cams with 4-valve.
Although no power claims yet, numerous reports suggest it will be within the region of 110 to 115hp.
The new powerplant doesn’t just look neat on the V100, but it could also be the turning point for Moto Guzzi to place itself among the big players.
Moto Guzzi has teamed up with American footwear company, Timberland, to produce a series of collections to celebrate the Italian company 100th anniversary.
The collection includes Moto Guzzi X Timberland Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot, Moto Guzzi X Earthkeepers Boot, leather jacket, half zip hoodie, a long sleeve tee and selvedge denim pants.
However, the Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot caught our attention as it remarkably features the Mandello iconic colour scheme of black and red.
It also offers ample ankle support with high top construction, while the Vibram rubber sole provides a better grip.
The Super Race boots are available via Timberland.com at USD332 (RM1.3k). By the way, we took a look at Timberland Malaysia, and the collection is yet to be made available. (not sure it ever will, though).
Moto Guzzi V7 has emerged as the best selling (over 700cc motorcycle) in Italy for the month of August.
With over 213 units delivered to customers, the V7 outperform its Japanese, German and other Italian competitors.
The achievement is deserving for Moto Guzzi, as the Mandello-brand celebrates its hundred years of history.
The V7 is currently available in two variants, Stone and Special, with both equipped with a new 850cc that delivers 65hp @ 6,800rpm and 73Nm @ 5,000rpm.
The new generation of V7 was presented earlier this year with a completely revised engine and featured more comfortable riding ergonomics and a powerful motor without losing the Guzzi DNA.
In the next few weeks, Italian manufacturer, Moto Guzzi, is set to unveil an all-new sport-tourer motorcycle.
Thanks to Moto.it, we can now see the V100 in its proper form despite not being all too clear.

The V100 will be Moto Guzzi newest model since 2019, with the V85 TT the last brand-new motorcycle introduced by Genoa-based company.
Despite not too many details, we can gather at the moment, we can safely assume the new motorcycle carries a 1000cc powerplant based on the name (V100) itself.
Nonetheless, we can expect Moto Guzzi to reveal the full detail on the all-new V100 at the 2021 EICMA scheduled in November.
Together with the launch of the 2021 Moto Guzzi V85 TT, the Italian manufacturer also introduced its new 2021 Moto Guzzi V9 range which includes both the Roamer and Bobber. What they’ve basically done is they’ve taken the V85 TT’s engine and stuffed it within the cruiser’s frame. (more…)
