V9: quality you can feel

With such explicit references to style and technology recurrent throughout the history of Moto Guzzi, the V9 could only be beautiful, fun and safe. In particular, Moto Guzzi has focused its greatest efforts on the definition of a design that would enhance the sculptural forms of the twin-cylinder 850 made in Mandello. Exceptional care has gone into the finish and components of the V9 bikes. They represent a new way of conceiving the medium-sized motorcycle. Touching the surfaces, we can feel the wide use of high quality materials such as steel and aluminium, while plastic parts are reduced to a minimum. The metal teardrop fuel tank are on both V9s, with a 15-liter capacity, finished with a fine coating and the Moto Guzzi logo on top, protected by clear varnish. The front and rear fenders are made of metal. The side panels, petrol cap, brake and clutch levers, are made of lightweight aluminium. The ergonomic electrical blocks have aluminium finish housings, just as the rider foot-pegs are made of aluminium. The steel exhaust manifolds are protected by a second tube that helps by creating an air cavity that lowers the heat emitted and to preserve the outer surfaces. 

The welds of the frame and the quality of its paintwork are immaculately finished with meticulous details to the 90° transverse V-twin engine, the matte black brings out the Moto Guzzi branding milled on the aluminium cylinder head covers. It pays to look at the intimate details of these two motorcycles, their touch conveys the entire construction tradition and culture that is typical of the best Moto Guzzi models.

DYNAMIC SPORTY PERSONALITY

Bold and punchy, the V9 Bobber Special Edition makes a splash with its new dark look. The exclusive color scheme called "Workshop twin tone" highlights the elegance of this unique bike, while its dynamic character is expressed through aluminum components and slip-on exhausts that signal a decidedly aggressive attitude.

The joy of freedom

This Moto Guzzi takes riding performance up a notch and ensures you know you're astride something special, with an exhaust kit and engine that delivers power from 65 horsepower at 6800 rpm and max torque at 53.8 ft-lb at 5000 rpm.

EVOLUTION UNDER THE SIGN OF COMFORT

The lightweight easy cruisers that are easy and thrilling to ride, are now more comfortable and ready for the voyage that is in the soul of every eagle from Mandello. The Guzzi V9 bikes stand out for the exceptional quality of their components and for their high grade finishes. They are all powered by the Moto Guzzi 850cc twin cylinder Euro 4 engine with unprecedented torque, smoothness and responsiveness that contribute to improving the ride of the two Italian cruisers.

Three essential features, deriving from a unique motorcycle culture, are common to all generations of custom Moto Guzzis:

1. This is a highly personal design. The special and unique engine configuration, sinuous tank and low exhaust pipes play a decisive stylistic role, always the focus of attention.

2. The legendary 90° transversal V-twin engine, introduced in 1967

3. Riding pleasure in all conditions, granted by the recognized superior riding qualities all Moto Guzzis that have captured the hearts of generations of users on roads around the world.

That same motorcycle culture inspires the two Moto Guzzi motorcycles.

The 850 twin-cylinder Moto Guzzi engine

The MY 2023 V9 bikes are fitted with a Moto Guzzi 850 cc engine, built in the Mandello del Lario plant. This is a 90° transverse V-twin air and oil cooled engine, a set-up used in all current Moto Guzzi engines with different engine capacities and performance that are able to ensure excellent riding dynamics and a unique sound. It was developed with the explicit aim of maximizing torque and elasticity, key aspects for riding pleasure and on-road fun. Starting from the bottom of the engine, the aluminium crankcase, stiffened at the key points, has an efficient oil pan and an inertia calibrated crankshaft for liveliness and correct engine braking. The inside of the lubrication system is designed to dispose of greater heat capacity and reduce power absorption to benefit both performance and fuel consumption. The ventilation system reduces power loss by pumping within the crank chambers and with a low flow oil pump that absorbs less power. The oil pump intake duct and bypass valve are unprecedented; new piston cooling oil jets are used and are fitted with a control valve and flow management. The alternator cover is unique and now includes the blow-by gas output.

In the upper part of the engine: aluminium heads, pistons and cylinders are designed to make the most of the engine's characteristics. Its cubic capacity is obtained due to bore and stroke values of 84x77 mm. Timing is controlled by rods and a rockers system that uses 2 valves per cylinder arranged at an angle in the head. The fuel supply uses a one-piece Marelli electronic injection system, managed by the specific ECU. The presence in the entrance heads of the auxiliary air system, combined with three-way catalytic converter, double oxygen sensor and the total design of the engine, bring the twin 850 Moto Guzzi into compliance with Euro 4 standards. The unit is capable of 62 Nm of torque at just 3,000 rpm, with a maximum power of 55 HP at 6,250 rpm. Figures that show Moto Guzzi's commitment to achieving high levels of torque even at low rpms. This engine boasts surprising character and responsiveness resulting in an exciting riding experience. A version with limited power is available, in line with the limitations of the A2 license and ideal for new Guzzi riders who can enjoy a record low total weight with the general ease of riding in both V9 versions. 

Designed to make an impression

Handlebar side mirrors inspired by the café racer genre, a shortened front mudguard and black solid aluminum fuel tank are just some of the features that make it clear this is an exclusive bike, designed for riders who are looking for something out of the ordinary.
