More than fifty years after the launch of its first unit, Moto Guzzi is proud to present a new and important evolution in the history of the V7. A prominent symbol of Italian motorbikes around the world.

The revamping is so profound that even the progressive numbering that was once in Roman numerals and had characterized the various evolution of the model since its return to the market in 2007, is gone. The character and authenticity remain intact, these values are destined to last over time and are embedded in the genetic code of every Moto Guzzi.

Two versions are available: the V7 Stone: strong and minimalist style, and the V7 Special: classic and elegant lines.

THE NEW, HIGH-PERFORMANCE, 850CC, 65 HP ENGINE MAKES ITS DEBUT

A new Moto Guzzi engine makes its debut on the new V7, a close derivative of the one that powers the V85 TT. This is the most recent and modern drive built in Mandello. It guarantees better performance and overall greater efficiency in order to provide maximum riding pleasure and reliability.

It has 25% more maximum power, going from the previous 52 hp at 6200 rpm to the current 65 hp at 6800 rpm. Maximum torque has increased significantly, going from 60 Nm at 4250 rpm to the outstanding value of 73 Nm at 5000 rpm; more than 80% of the torque already available at 3000 rpm.

Compared to the previous version, the new addition from Mandello is generally more complete in terms of equipment and demonstrates superior maturity. Evident in the aesthetic impact of the larger engine, it stands out for its generously sized exhaust pipes in a different layout. The view from the rear highlights; larger final drive, wider rear wheel, and the more robust pair of Kayaba shock absorbers. The stylish side panels, shorter rear mudguard and new exhaust system, give the new 'eight and a half' a revamped and more seductive look.

THE NEW V7 IS FASTER, MORE COMFORTABLE, BETTER EQUIPPED AND REFINED, MAINTAINING ALL THE CHARACTER AND AUTHENTICITY THAT EVERY MOTO GUZZI BOASTS

Many new features have been introduced to improve stability and comfort, leaving the proverbial handling of the Moto Guzzi best-seller unaltered. The frame has been evolved with the addition of steel elements in the head-stock area. A new pair of shock absorbers with greater travel, new two-tier saddle ensures greater comfort and a brand new rider foot-peg for support. The Moto Guzzi V7 Stone has the new, full LED light system with a headlight that includes a DRL in the shape of the Moto Guzzi Eagle. The new instrument cluster is perfectly in line with the look of a minimalist motorcycle, entirely digital on a single circular dial. The new aluminium wheel rims is shod with a wider 150/70 tyre. The V7 Special maintains the elegant, dual dial analogue instrument cluster (speedometer and rev counter) and the ultra-classic spoke wheel rims.

The V7 will be available in a reduced-power version, in line with Italian A2 driver's license restrictions and ideal for new Guzzisti Nomads. It will come standard with adjustable MGCT traction control that can be disabled.

V7 Stone is available in three satin-finish color schemes: Nero Ruvido, Azzurro Ghiaccio and Arancione Rame. The color variants of the V7 Special, the version closes to the classic and elegant spirit of the original model, are Blu Formale and Grigio Casual.
