Moto Guzzi Announces New Models and Upgrades for 2025
Moto Guzzi, the oldest European motorcycle marque in continuous production, has enjoyed decades of legendary status among riders. In the wake of the EICMA 2024 show in Milan, the brand unveiled its plans for the upcoming 2025 model year.
Fans of the V100 Mandello will receive a new toy in the 2025 V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel, a special version celebrating the Moto Guzzi wind tunnel’s 70th anniversary. In the V7 range, we’ll get a new bike in the form of the 2025 V7 Sport, a powerful upspec version of the standard bikes.
That’s not to say the V7 and V7S haven’t received upgrades as well, including a more powerful engine. Last but not least, the company unveiled the limited-edition 2025 Stelvio Duecento Tributo, which pays homage to the iconic Stelvio Pass.
V100 Mandello
In the V100 Mandello range, the star of the show was the V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel. This commemorative model celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Moto Guzzi wind tunnel, the first to be used in motorcycle manufacturing.
The most distinctive feature of the V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel are its looks. It boasts a red colorway with a black tail section and mudguard, with gold details on the suspension.
In mechanics, the Wind Tunnel featured a semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, an inertial platform, cornering-ABS, a bidirectional quickshifter, Moto Guzzi’s multimedia platform, tire pressure monitoring, and heated grips. In other words, it’s mostly the same bike as the V100 Mandello S, but with an exclusive look.
Speaking of the V100 Mandello S, it now comes with Moto Guzzi’s PFF Rider Assistance Solution. This tech package features a slew of rider aids, including forward collision warning, a blind spot information system, and a lane change assistant. The PFF system is also available as an accessory for the standard V100 Mandello and the Wind Tunnel version.
In addition, all V100 Mandello models have received a tweaked transmission and a central radiator guard—both features we’ve seen earlier on the Stelvio.
As is motorcycling tradition, the bikes have also gained new paint schemes with the change in model year. The V100 Mandello comes in metallic matte Blu Oceano and Grigio Titanio, while the V100 Mandello S is available in a green Verde Ghiaccio or red Rosso Lava.
V7 Range
The V7 models will see significant upgrades in the coming lineup. Moto Guzzi has updated the 90-degree transverse V-twin engine, and it now produces 67.3 horsepower at 6,900 rpm (a 4% increase from before) and 58 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.
With the modernized engine, the bikes have also swapped the traditional cable throttle for an electronic ride-by-wire system. With that, they now feature electronic rider aids, from cruise and traction control to ride modes.
The ride modes include Road and Rain, which adjust the traction control system’s interference. However, they don’t affect ABS, which is permanently switched on.
Moto Guzzi also revealed the V7 Sport, a new technologically-advanced (at least compared to its siblings) entry in the model range. The V7 Sport features a third ride mode titled Sport, which minimizes traction control interference. In addition, it comes with a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that enables cornering-ABS and traction control.
This new model also swaps the standard 40mm telescopic fork for a new preload-adjustable 41mm USD fork to go with its sportier character. For stopping the speed, the V7 Sport features enhanced brakes with dual 320mm floating discs (as opposed to the other V7s’ single disc) and four-piston Brembo monobloc calipers. The rear brake on all models is a 260mm disc with a two-piston caliper.
Finally, the V7 Sport comes with metal alloy spoked wheels, which are 3.9 pounds lighter than the wheels on the rest of the range. The bike also features bar-end mirrors.
Other smaller additions to the entire range include new side panel designs, a shorter rear mudguard, and a more aggressive exhaust configuration. The V7 Special now has a full LED headlight, and all bikes have received new switch cubes. The round LCD instrument cluster has updated graphics, and the new V7 Sport also includes a fuel level indicator.
The 2025 V7 Stone comes in Nero Ruvido and Blu Profondo color schemes, featuring blacked-out matte detailing. The V7 Special is painted Nero Smeraldo or Bianco 1969, while the V7 Sport is available in Verde Legnano or Grigio Lario.
Stelvio Duecento Tributo
The famous Stelvio Pass road opened to traffic in 1825 and celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2025. To commemorate this momentous milestone, Moto Guzzi announced the limited-edition 2025 Stelvio Duecento Tribute motorcycle.
Only 2,758 bikes will be manufactured, one for each meter of Stelvio Pass’ height. The engine of the bike is the same 1042cc powerplant found on the base Stelvio model, but the Duecento Tributo distinguishes itself with additional goodies.
Most noticeably, the motorcycle has a unique paint scheme. The bike is colored white (for the snow on the pass), blue (for the sky above), and red (a popular color for hiking gear). Additionally, the side panels and tank feature graphics showing the pass’ iconic hairpins.
As it shares the technical base of the Stelvio PFF Rider Assistance Solution model (say that 10 times fast), the Duecento Tributo comes with the same safety electronics as the V100 Mandello S. These include the aforementioned forward collision warning, blind spot information, and lane change assist systems. Other goodies carrying over from the base model are heated grips and seats, a centerstand, tire pressure monitoring, a quickshifter, and the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform.
