  • Moto Guzzi has formally launched the V85 TT at Intermot.

  • The bike uses an all-new 850cc engine.

  • Moto Guzzi also unveiled the bike in a new colour.

Yes, yes, we’ve seen many pictures of the Moto Guzzi V85 TT adventure bike, but you know what? We love it. Moto Guzzi has finally and officially unveiled it at the Intermot show after many months of “leaked” photos and patent filings.

Moto Guzzi has also added a new colour to the model during the launch, together with aluminium side and top cases.

Apart from that the exciting news is the engine. The transversely-mounted 850cc 90o V-Twin may seem like the one powering the V9 line-up, but it is actually all-new. It features a lighter crankshaft, bigger fuel intakes, bigger valves and pistons with shorter skirts. The changes bring power output to 80 bhp compared to the V9’s 55 bhp.

News is the new serves as a platform for future Moto Guzzi models.

The engine is mounted in the steel tube trellis frame as a stressed member for “exceptional stiffness” (according to Moto Guzzi).

The rear suspension is mounted asymmetrically since the swingarm/driveshaft housing is also asymmetrical on the right side of the bike, which makes it easier to reach the fully-adjustable shock’s settings. The front suspension consists of fully adjustable upside-down forks. There should be plenty of suspension travel, judging from the photos – good for some off-road trail riding.

Moto Guzzi says that the V85 TT is as much function as there is much form. The design harks back to the heady days of the Paris-Dakar Rally in the 80’s when large capacity bikes ruled the dunes of north Africa. The manufacturer also claims that the bike is instilled with lightness, agility and true off-road capabilities.

We do hope to see it on our shores soon. The Moto Guzzi V85 TT should be able to ride the adventure-touring wave if it proves to be any good.

  • Model Moto Guzzi V85 TT akan menggantikan model Stelvio 1200 yang dibatalkan pengeluarannya.
  • Gambar-gambar versi yang akan dikilangkan ini menonjolkan kebolehan ‘off-road’nya itu.
  • Motosikal V85 TT versi pengeluaran pasti akan membuat kemunculan sewaktu pertunjukan EICMA pada bulan November akan datang.

  • The Moto Guzzi V85 TT replaces the cancelled Stelvio 1200.

  • The photos of the production version show that it is off-road capable.

  • The production V85 TT should appear at EICMA in November.

Moto Guzzi has finally unveiled the V85 TT adventure bike’s official production model photos.

The V85 concept was unveiled at EICMA 2017 to much anticipation as it seeks to replace the Stelvio 1200 which had been cancelled as it could not meet the Euro 4 emissions standards.

Moto Guzzi V85 Dual-Sport Patents Leaked

The production V85 TT looks remarkably similar to its EICMA concept, with only small changes. While Moto Guzzi did not release the bike’s specs, we could draw a few conclusions from these pictures.

Firstly, it surely looks more off-road capable that the V7 III Rough. We could see the headlamp mounts have been beefed up.

Apart from that, the handguards also carry the mirrors. Moving to the back, the rear portion of the subframe has fewer joints in its latticework. The production version’s exhaust canister is also larger and painted in black, besides having a heat shield next to the passenger’s footpeg.

The shape of the fuel tank is the same, although the paint scheme’s striping is diagonal instead of being horizontal.

The front brakes consist of twin discs clamped by radially-mounted, four-piston Brembo calipers.

The engine should be a new 850cc unit, said to produce 79 bhp, compared to the V9’s 850cc engine which produces 53.6 bhp.

The V85 TT will feature a fully-digital LCD instrument display. There is a compass bearing surrounding the screen. We wonder if it is merely decorative? (Please refer to the photo below).

What intrigues us is the two-helmet symbol in the display. The bike does not seem to be suspended by electronically-adjustable suspension, so that symbol could only mean integrated Bluetooth connectivity between the rider and passenger.

The smartphone symbol points towards Piaggio’s app which integrates with the bike to show upcoming service, locating the bike in a parking lot, locating the nearest petrol station and helping to call pre-stored emergency contacts.

Going further, notice the rain symbol and the word “PIOGGIA”? Pioggia means rain in Italian and it looks like the bike has ride modes and a ride-by-wire throttle.
