- Five versions receive 105th Anniversary treatment
- Special grey and yellow livery takes inspiration from the rebuilt Mandello factory
Moto Guzzi celebrates its 105th anniversary since the Italian manufacturer was founded in 1921 with a selection special editions. The treatment will be offered on the Stelvio, Stelvio with PFF Rider Assistance Solution, V100 Mandello, V85 Strada and V7 Stone. The anniversary models will become available from October 2026 and will remain in the range only until the end of 2027. Nope, not for India. Baramati facility is not for Moto Guzzi.
The specials get their inspiration from the recently transformed Mandello del Lario factory. All motorcycles use a special grey paint with a glossy pearlescent finish. The industrial, metallic appearance is directly influenced by the architecture of its new headquarters and factory complex at Mandello del Lario. The historic production site has undergone a recent redesign by American architect Greg Lynn.
The grey base is broken up with bright yellow details, again borrowing from the finishes used around the new Mandello complex. The 105th Anniversary graphic runs vertically along both sides of the fuel tank. This graphic idea extends to the rear wheel rim creating a visual link between the bodywork and chassis. The seat also gets a redesign complete with a stylised eagle and contrasting yellow stitching.
There are no mechanical changes. The V7 Stone remains simple with its transverse 850cc V-Twin and shaft drive as its defining features. V85 Strada is the more road-oriented member of the V85 family using cast-aluminium wheels instead of the more off-road-focused spoked arrangement found elsewhere in the range.
V100 Mandello is part of the newer compact-block engine family and was also the first production motorcycle to offer adaptive aerodynamics with body-mounted deflectors that automatically alter their position depending on riding conditions.
Stelvio has a more adventure-tourer approach. Its 1,042cc Euro 5+ V-Twin is combined with a 19-inch front wheel, five riding modes and an electrically adjustable windscreen. A PFF version adds the Rider Assistance Solution electronics package for touring.
