Motorcycle specifications Moto-GuzziSTELVIO 1200 8V NTX 2012 New approach to the main road

the Stelvio made an immediate success of its entry into the large trail bike market. Gifted, efficient and with Mandello's trademark character, it could plant its cylinders in the wheels of the benchmark BMW R 1200 GS. Problem: the German's reputation is such that it's not easy to find a place in the sun. This could have discouraged Guzzi from erasing these few shortcomings... But no! The 1200 Stelvio improves after 2 years of service, and the NTX version logically benefits from the same improvements.

a small facelift gives it a more aggressive face, and while the features are essentially retained, it's virtually the entire fork head that has been changed. Only the headlights remain the same. New bubble, improved protection and, above all, a much improved range. The fuel tank has been increased by 14 liters to 32. You can easily exceed 400 km before refuelling. Among the few criticisms that could be levelled at the Italian, engine management deserved a little more roundness and availability. A new exhaust system and more efficient electronic management take care of that, offering a more pleasant, more usable twin. It loses a few horsepower and a pinch of mkg, but that's nothing to worry about, as the maximum values are obtained earlier. The chassis, already sound and pleasant, benefits from new front and rear suspension springs and lighter brake discs.
The 1200 NTX gains new luggage, a redesigned dashboard with improved fuel gauge readout, an ATC torque limiter (a kind of traction control), and 2 kg less weight. Only the ABS version is available in France.
