Motorcycle specifications Moto-Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel 2026 Beautiful descendants

Today, a Guzzi is a motorcycle with character, not necessarily sporty, but full of charm and no slouch when it comes to rocking the bowls. But that doesn't mean it can be used for racing or even slider rubbing.....

Mandello's past is extraordinarily rich in this respect, with avant-garde solutions that HRC would have dreamed of back in the day (if it had existed in those days). Remember that Moto-Guzzi had its own wind tunnel built to test the aerodynamics of its racing machines.... In 1954; a first.

Just one color? But a whole story around it

Enough to make you think twice before judging the brand. What's more, the new V100 Mandello will not shy away from reminding us of this with this special Wind Tunnel series. The roadster celebrates the 70th anniversary of the factory's "wind tunnel". Elegant and almost senatorial in its deep colors, it combines black and purple like the warmth of a night of fire and embers. Not forgetting little details like the wind tunnel symbol on the winglets.

Aero appendages whose role here is to provide dynamic protection for the pilot... more or less convincing. The V100 offers them on all versions. The Wind Tunnel stands out for its color and equipment: the same as the S, but without the radar system (which can be ordered as an option).

As a result, you'll get semi-active Öhlins suspension, an electric bubble, heated grips, tire pressure monitoring, a USB port, cruise control, an Up&Down shifter, a color TFT display, a Down shifter, 5-inch TFT color display, MIA multimedia platform, traction control, ABS cornering, 4 driving modes, adaptive headlights...

And above all, the voluptuous twin of the new Guzzi era. A lively engine that transmits its strength, 115 horsepower and joy through a cardan shaft housed in a superb single-arm unit. It's a pity that the exhaust encroaches a little on the wheel, preventing the eye from fully appreciating it. Radial Brembo brakes, lashing points for suitcases, an eagle on the shoulders and the eternal overflow cylinder heads complete the package.
