Information

We are familiar with the 90-degree longitudinal V-twin that powers the V100 Mandello and now the Stevlio. DOHC four-valve heads are turned 90 degrees to the traditional air-and-oil-cooled small block for tighter packaging despite sitting atop 521cc cylinders measuring with a bore and stroke of 96.0 x 72.0mm. Liquid-cooling and closed-loop EFI allowed the compact block to be Euro 5 compliant while producing a claimed 115 hp at 8,700 rpm and 77.4 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,750 rpm—just right for an all-rounder ADV that looks to go up against the likes of Suzuki’s V-Strom 1050, Honda’s Africa Twin, and Ducati’s Multistrada V2.
