THE SUPERBLY-EQUIPPED S VERSION IS NOW EVEN MORE COMPLETE, WITH THE PFF RIDER ASSISTANCE SOLUTION SYSTEM
NEW GRAPHICS AND FINISHES ON ALL MODELS
THE V100 MANDELLO WIND TUNNEL MAKES ITS DEBUT: AN EXTRA-SPECIAL VERSION CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF THE CUTTING-EDGE MOTO GUZZI WIND TUNNEL
The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello – the innovative roadster which marked the start of a second exciting century of history for the Eagle Brand – appears at EICMA with an all-new, extended range for 2025.
The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S version, which already comes equipped with a host of technological equipment – including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, bi-directional Quick Shift gearbox, heated handgrips, TPMS tyre pressure monitoring system and Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform – now boasts the PFF Rider Assistance Solution system too, offering an even more comprehensive premium set-up.
The innovative rider assistance platform that first appeared on the Moto Guzzi Stelvio, developed by Piaggio Fast Forward, is based on Imaging Radar 4D technology, and makes riding safer in all situations, courtesy of the Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Lane Change Assist (LCA) functions.
All versions, powered by the 1042 cc two-cylinder compact block engine (which now complies with Euro 5+ regulations), benefit from improvements made to the transmission and already introduced on the Stelvio, which ensure smoother and softer gear changes.
Another new detail that already features on the Stelvio is the central radiator guard, which integrates perfectly with the lines of the bike, protecting against stone chips that may fly up whilst riding.
The graphics and finishes are also new:
The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello comes in two new metallic matte colours, Blu Oceano and Grigio Titanio, which emphasise its edgy appearance, complemented by matte black painted wheels and black engine cylinder heads.
The V100 Mandello S is visually richer, and features two-tone paintwork in two colour variants: Verde Ghiaccio and Rosso Lava. The rims, the engine cylinder heads and the forks are finished in gold.
The new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel
The Mandello V100 range is further extended with the arrival of a very special version, which highlights the close links between Moto Guzzi bikes and cutting-edge technology: the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel. This latest addition was created to celebrate the 70th anniversary of an extraordinary engineering work by Moto Guzzi – the wind tunnel that astounded the world of motorcycling in the 1950s, making the House of the Eagle an aerodynamics pioneer.
During an era when fairing shapes were fundamentally the result of empirical trial-and-error, Moto Guzzi was the first manufacturer in the world to take a scientific approach to creating this component, via tests carried out with this extraordinary new structure, designed by Carlo and Giuseppe Guzzi and officially opened on 12 April 1954.
The wind tunnel represents a real milestone in both Italian and global motorcycling history, and is still an icon of the historic factory in Mandello del Lario. It evokes a very important technological heritage, which inspires Moto Guzzi in the manufacture of every model it makes.
This is especially true of the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello, a concentration of innovation and the very first motorbike in the world with adaptive aerodynamics, a system which adjusts the position of the deflectors on the sides of the tank depending on the speed and the riding mode selected.
Until now, this technology had not been explored in the world of two-wheelers; it enables the overall dimensions to remain contained, offering protection and comfort only when necessary and required by the rider. The shape of the Mandello V100 were also developed through more than 200 hours of CFD calculations and tests in the wind tunnel.
The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel is distinguished by the most evocative of all Moto Guzzi colours: the livery is red with black tail section and front mudguard, while the tank is enveloped by elegant black graphics on the side, and edged with gold detailing that echoes the shade of the engine cylinder heads.
The Wind Tunnel special edition offers an exhaustive range of technical equipment as standard, including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, inertial platform, Cornering ABS and bi-directional Quick Shift gearbox, as well as the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform, TPMS tyre pressure sensor and heated handgrips.
An increasingly comprehensive catalogue of accessories
For 2025, the range of original accessories designed for the Mandello V100 range is also bigger than ever, with the arrival of a new dedicated tank bag and a new cardan shaft guard.
The PFF Rider Assistance Solution system rear radar, which serves as the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) as well as providing the Lane Change Assist (LCA) function, is offered as an accessory on the V100 Mandello and V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel. The system also includes rear-view mirrors with built-in LED lights, which illuminate to warn of potential dangers.

Aerodynamics at the service of two wheels
Moto Guzzi was the first motorcycle manufacturer to study its bikes in the Wind Tunnel, especially its racing bikes. It experimented with aerodynamic solutions, designed high-performance fairings and optimised the rider’s position, taking care of every detail to reduce air friction and increase speed.
Thanks to these innovative experiments, in the post-war period the Eagle of Mandello established itself as one of the most competitive brands on a global level, collecting 14 world titles and 11 successes at the Tourist Trophy.
I always have the impression that I really am flying along through the air.
– Fergus Anderson, world champion motorcycle racer
Innovation since 1954
The Moto Guzzi Wind Tunnel was officially inaugurated on 12 April 1954 and from the first moment it amazed the motorcycling world, making the Eagle Company a pioneer of aerodynamics. Of the Eiffel type with an open circuit and 28.5 metres long, the Wind Tunnel is made up of three main sections: the intake duct, where the air increases in speed; the test chamber, where the vehicle is positioned, where maximum speeds are reached; and the exhaust duct, equipped with a fan with a three-blade variable-pitch propeller, driven by a 310 hp electric motor. All operations were managed by an operator in the control cabin, who started the system, turned on the engine and adjusted the speed of the air flow, managing the measuring devices.
Not just motorcycles…
The Wind Tunnel was used over the years to test different types of vehicles. During the 1956 Olympic Games in Cortina di Ampezzo, Eng. Giulio Cesare Carcano used the tunnel to test the aerodynamics of the two-man bobsleigh he had designed. A winning project that allowed Lamberto Dalla Costa and Giacomo Conti to climb to the top step of the podium and win the gold medal.
