The new 2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello ‘Wind Tunnel’ celebrates the brand’s innovative use of the wind tunnel to aid the design of their motorcycles. Additionally, the 2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S will receive a radar system.
The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello ‘Wind Tunnel’ edition celebrates the 70th anniversary of the manufacturer’s wind tunnel. Moto Guzzi had launched their own wind tunnel on 12 April 1954 in Mandello Del Lario.
Indeed, the first V100 Mandello launched in 2022 is claimed to be the first motorcycle to employ adaptive aerodynamics. The system will be retained for the 2025 edition. It alters the position of the deflectors on the sides of the fuel tank according to the speed and selected riding mode, in turn reduces wind pressure by up to 22% to the rider.
Moto Guzzi say: “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 2024 version of the Mandello S has already been imbued with high-tech goodies such as Öhlins semi-active suspension, quickshifter, tyre pressure monitoring system, phone connectivity, and heated grips. For 2025, the version will be equipped with Moto Guzzi’s PFF Rider Assistance Solution consisting of a 4D radar imaging for forward collision warning, blind spot warning, lane change assistance. This system made its debut on the Moto Guzzi Stelvio.
Other updates carried over from the Stelvio are changes to the gearbox to improve gear change feel and a central radiator guard.
The 1024cc, 90° V-Twin engine is now Euro5+ compliant, but its peak power and torque remain unchanged at 113hp and 104.4Nm, respectively. 82% of that peak torque is already available from 3,500 RPM.
The standard model will be available in two colours, ‘Blu Oceano’ and ‘Grigio Titanio’. The Mandello S comes in ‘Verde Ghiaccio’ and ‘Rossi Lava’ for 2025, whereas the Wind Tunnel comes solely in a red and black livery.
Prices have not been announced at this time.
