The Moto Guzzi V7 Stone, an icon of Italian motorcycling, celebrates in grand style the legacy of the Mandello del Lario brand, which is approaching the 60th anniversary of the introduction of its first V7 in 1967. Combining tradition and innovation, the new generation presents significant improvements in terms of performance, technology, and design, without compromising the classic essence that has won fans worldwide.
Minimalist and distinctive style
The V7 Stone remains true to its stripped-down and versatile character, standing out for its absence of chrome details, which give way to a matte finish. Available in two striking shades, Nero Ruvido and Blu Profondo, the model combines clean aesthetics with a robust personality, ideal for those who value simplicity and sophistication.
Among the updates are the six-spoke cast wheels, which reinforce the contemporary look, and the new logo on the side covers, which pays homage to Moto Guzzi’s heritage. The seat includes a passenger grab handle, reaffirming the commitment to functionality, while the LCD digital instrument panel, standard across the line, ensures clear and intuitive reading of information.
Renewed performance: power and efficiency
At the heart of the V7 Stone is the iconic 90° transverse V-twin engine, air-cooled, now even more powerful and efficient. With a displacement of 853 cc, the engine delivers 67.3 hp at 6,900 rpm, a 4% increase over the previous version, and an impressive torque of 79 Nm at 4,400 rpm. The torque available at low revs translates into smoother and more dynamic riding, ideal for both urban routes and open road adventures.
Thanks to the new Ride-by-Wire electronic management, which replaces the traditional cable throttle, riders can choose between two riding modes:
- ROAD: provides progressive throttle response and moderate traction control, ensuring smooth and pleasant riding.
- RAIN: adjusted for slippery conditions, with increased traction control and smoother throttle response, promoting maximum safety.
The system also includes standard Cruise Control, enhancing comfort on longer journeys.
Safe and reliable riding
Safety is a priority in the new V7 Stone, equipped with two-channel ABS and MGCT (Moto Guzzi Traction Control), which can be deactivated if the rider prefers a more direct experience. The combination of these electronic systems with the traditional engine architecture ensures controlled riding without losing the dynamic spirit that defines the brand.
A combination of heritage and modernity
The V7 Stone is more than a motorcycle; it’s a style statement that celebrates decades of innovation and passion for motorcycling. Whether for purists who value Moto Guzzi’s heritage or new enthusiasts seeking modern technology and superior performance, the V7 Stone continues to embody the timeless spirit of the Italian brand.
Available at authorized dealers, the new V7 Stone is a choice that combines tradition, elegance, and functionality, perpetuating the legacy of one of the world’s most legendary motorcycle lines.
