More details have emerged of Moto Guzzi’s upcoming Mandello. Guzzi says it will be the first bike in the world to feature adaptive aero – the deflectors on the sides of the fuel tank are adjusted depending on speed and the riding mode selected to reduce pressure on the rider. It is also the first Guzzi to be fitted with semi-active suspension and cornering ABS, as well as the first to have the new “compact block” 1042cc version of the famous V-twin which produces 115hp. Other typically Guzzi features include a single-sided alloy swingarm and shaft drive, a tubular steel frame and a electronics package that includes four riding modes, ride-by-wire throttle, 5in colour TFT screen and full LED lighting.
