THE SECOND GUZZI TO USE THE NEW-GENERATION 1,042 COMPACT-BLOCK ENGINE!! - motorcyclenews.com
Information
Moto Guzzi is two years into its second century, and with that comes changes while it remains faithful to the longitudinal V-twin and shaft drive that has served Mandello de Lario faithfully. While Guzzi’s small block mill has been a long-standing staple, outlasting more recent designs that have come and gone, a new more compact and modern engine has been designed for the next 100 years: the compact block. In 2021, the V100 Mandello was the first model to utilize this powerplant, immediately garnering praise and interest—even from non-Guzzisti. Now a second and possibly more important machine revives a moniker that recalls the spirit of adventure: the Stelvio.
