INTRODUCTION STELVIO 1200 4V: the pleasure of riding at the top.
The Stelvio Pass is a winding path that like a snake coils up shrouded by the shadow of the Ortles massif, strangling it with 84 hairpin bends that link, at an altitude of 2758 metres, Valtellina with Venosta Valley. For riders, but not only for them, this asphalt stretch built in 1855 is a legendary route that combines the difficulty of a rugged track with a massive natural beauty, resulting in a riding experience of extraordinary intensity. For Moto Guzzi, it is a historical test stretch, where the benefits of chassis features chosen, resistance and decelerating power, engine response and suspension absorbing capacity can be tested. A frequent test bench where the new Mandello's creature, taking its first steps, caused instant astonishment due to its dynamics and the pleasurable ride offered. So much so, that it seems quite natural to summarise the design talent and technical intuitions instilled in the new maxi-enduro by Moto Guzzi, with the images and sensations of a place, where the riding pleasure is enriched by the feeling of adventure, sport challenge, extreme tourism: the Stelvio Pass. Moreover, the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V has been designed and developed to brave any destination, devouring kilometres of roads and even off-road surfaces. This multipurpose capability is evident at first glance.Inspired by off-road bikes, Stelvio 1200 4V breaks the traditional, austere look of models in this market segment by introducing new intense shapes and a dynamic energy that evokes the feeling of adventure, long routes, the most extreme use. Slender and streamlined in the lower part, highlighted by refined aluminium spoke wheels and the technology seen in the powertrain and final transmission, the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V is compact and robust in the upper part, revealing the care taken to obtain the best ergonomics for the rider. They are sculptured shapes that stress the numerous design details to respond to an active and intense use, such as the presence of a powerful double front headlight assembly, the windshield and the adjustable seat, the ample section of chassis guides, the aluminium exhaust silencer, the careful assessment for passenger and luggage transport. This design concept has been designed to stress the throbbing heart of Stelvio 1200 4V, the unmistakable 90 transversal V-twin engine in its most functional quattrovalvole (four valves) version. Strong, powerful, dominant in its action, Stelvio 1200 4V is now streaking along European roads in three different colour concepts: red Corsa for the classic sportsman; Black Guzzi for those who prefer tradition, and Lunar white, the most glamorous colour of the moment.
STYLE: Shapes of dynamic energy.
Stelvio 1200 4V marks the return of Moto Guzzi to the Maxi-Enduro segment, a motorcycle concept developed on the echoes of the great popularity of African marathons. An austere motorcycle, dominated by impressive tanks strongly integrated to the fairings that extend until the engine is almost hidden, by the undoubtedly fascinating as well as irrational image when adventure does not have the equator as its horizon, but just crossing an urban centre or riding along main roads leading towards weekend or holiday destinations. Starting from this premise, Moto Guzzi has developed a stylistic idea as a countertrend, highlighting the dynamic energy expressed by the mechanics and the chassis at sight, with tight-fitting panels, with clean cuts and sharp lines, able to give the vehicle a sensation of lightness and power, in an ensemble of solid elegance and class. Stelvio 1200 4V immediately captivates with its front end look- two side-by-side headlamps with convex lens create a three-dimension effect that makes the machine look compact, also helped by the effect created by the satin reinforcement in anthracite colour. This solution is also applied to the mudguard and tank rear, which not only creates an original aesthetic design but also protects surfaces from gravel as well as reinforces the image of a vehicle resistant even under the most demanding situations. The light fairing emphasises numerous prismal elements and concave surfaces, and a careful aerodynamic study is perceived at the assembly formed by the adjustable shield on the top fairing plus the contoured but capacious tank. An evident characteristic in the front view is the predominance of two auxiliary air deflectors highlighted with silver paintwork and metal louvres, designed to direct fresh air to cylinders. The top fairing, matching the double headlight assembly paraboles, forms a shape that deviates the aerodynamic load when riding at high speeds. The peculiar

blow moulding technology was used to produce the tank and helps to minimise dimensions and weight
according to the (18-litre) capacity. Moreover, it includes a fantastic glove-box that can be unlocked from the handlebar and is atop the saddle, which, by covering the grooves, avoids direct contact with the rider's legs to ensure superior riding comfort. Once you are seated on the saddle, finely upholstered with nonslip material, it is quite noticeable there is more space for both rider and passenger's comfort. The rider saddle height can be adjusted to two positions, 820 mm or 840 mm from the ground, whereas the passenger, besides being seated on a thick and spacious seat, can count on a solid and comfortable handhold seat strap. Even more aggressive from the forecarriage, the rear end look is dominated by the hi-tech aspect of the rear light with complex surface curve and LEDs, and by an important enhanced aluminium double tail silencer that evokes solidness and power.
COMFORT: Sensation of inner wellbeing
Stelvio 1200 4V is a tourer, that can also be used off-road, and with excellent performance on asphalt. These characteristics emerge immediately once you are seated on the bike, where the perception of carefully-designed ergonomics can be felt straightaway: saddle, footrests and handlebar form a perfect triangle for all users. Moreover, for the perfectionists, there is still room for minor adjustments: windshield, saddle height (820 or 840 mm), handlebar inclination, levers, pedals, also for professionals, set screws to adjust hydraulic compression/rebound damping of suspensions. In a matter of seconds, everything is at the right place to face any challenge, from city traffic to the most inaccessible off-road paths. In motion, reduced vibration and an efficient aerodynamic protection ensure riding comfort for rider and passenger as well, ideal to tackle long trips. Among the most appreciated features for everyday use, there is a glove-box to the left-side of the tank that can be unlocked from the handlebar and even, if your are wearing gloves. The instrument panel features complete and easily visible gauges- a white-background rpm indicator that incorporates efficient service warning lights, long range lights (optional), and a dash display that provides plenty of information about the vehicle operation and diagnosis, a fuel level indicator, average and current consumption, average speed, trip time, maximum speed peak reached and, as heated handgrips may be fitted upon request, the heating level of handgrips can also be seen. The Stelvio 1200 4V is a class leader, as a result of an elegant aesthetic appearance, is also enhanced by features which, while fulfilling a stylistic function, set new parameters in terms of effectiveness and safety. Some examples are the headlight assemblies, highly reliable and effective, manufactured with technology borrowed from the automotive industry, fittings for the panniers are integrated to the passenger handgrips and the luggage racks, design elements expressing the versatility and calling for adventure and touring of the Stelvio 1200 4V model.

CHASSIS Designed for non conventional paths.
You should not be mislead by its luxury off-road appearance: the Stelvio 1200 4V features driving effectiveness superior to the average of many road motorcycles, since it is equipped for the unexpected and able to withstand any off-road driving strains. The secret is the new upper twin spar frame, made of high-strength steel, with 2.5mm thick directional tubes, where the engine is anchored through six connecting points, two more than in usual frames, which give high rigidity to the assembly at twisting moments. Chassis positions have been defined to facilitate handling, a headstock with a 27 inclination for a 125mm trail, improved by a 1535mm wheelbase which guarantees impeccable steering precision. Suspensions, pieces of fine workmanship adjustable not only during preloading but also for the hydraulic response at compression and rebound damping, offer an immediate and clear response to handlebar pressures. The front end is controlled by a solid upside-down Marzocchi fork, with 50mm and 170mm travel stems, whereas at the rear, suspension kinematic mechanisms with progressive rising rate are moved by a Boge unit that works on a 155mm stroke. The refinement of the suspension department guarantees a neutral setting at all times. When going out of a bend, and the action of the 105 horsepower generated by the new Quattrovalvole engine is requested, or when braking, under the quick deceleration generated by the three-disc Brembo braking system. And either for its effectiveness or its aesthetic value, there stands out a system consisting of radially-mounted calipers engaging onto a couple of fully drilled discs for better heat dissipation. Splendid spoke wheels assembled with Ber rims and Alpina spokes at Moto Guzzi are ideal for Pirelli Scorpion tubeless tyres. They are 110/80, on a 19-inch front wheel and the 180/55/17 oversize for the rear wheel, which guarantees a truly sporting supporting surface. Even when considering chassis elements, where the overall assembly is what really counts, Stelvio 1200 4V is not afraid of comparisons.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. Record-breaker by nature.
Stelvio has been developed with the new Quattrovalvole, the most advanced evolutionary milestone of the mythical 90 transversal V-twin engine. An engine that has evolved beyond recognition even for the most loyal passionate, and that marvel due to its contents and performance, the highest of the category. A design that has absolutely revolutionised Mandello's twin-cylinder mechanics, with more than 75% of new components. In all, 563 new parts have been designed to allow this 90 V-twin engine to have a single overhead camshaft distribution system, which controls 4 valves per cylinder. A great example of mechanics, unique in the motorcycle panorama thanks to its lucid design structure, obtained by light and smooth sliding masses, moving alternately, the thermodynamic study and fuel supply in order to enhance functions, reliability and smooth operation aiming at a new quality standard. The new lighter crankshaft, 3-ring forged pistons and very light valves with 5-mm stems supported by cone-section springs that eliminate resonance and power losses at high speeds, emerge among the most valuable components present. Lubrication and cooling are ensured by two pumps fitted in tandem in order to obtain smaller dimensions and are activated by three gears that make lubricant flow along a channel, separated from the cylinder head, to reach the exhaust pipe, where the highest temperature is found, and feed cooling jets placed under the piston. In order to house these new components, a completely new crankcase is necessary, to offer smaller dimensions and an integral front bench support with bushing, while the rear one has a new flange and a more effective oil feeding system. The most seducing element of the new Quattrovalvole is, surely, the modern design of cylinders, more compact with cooling finning oriented to riding direction. Consequently, head covers have been redesigned by adding, apart from the Quattrovalvole identifying abbreviation, a floating system that further cushions the silent action of the distribution system, controlled by Morse chains and supplied with hydraulic tensioners and tensioning pads. Fuel supply has also been subject to important innovations, with throttle bodies well over 50-mm and new IWP 189 injectors. In the Stelvio configuration, the Quattrovalvole receives an original exhaust system which, thanks to the increase of the silencer internal volume, made in aluminium, optimises the engine performance at low and average speeds, generating a maximum power of 105 CV at 7500 rpm and a 11 kgm torque at 6400 rpm. These numbers offer a clear idea of the new Stelvio 1200 4V potential.

INTRODUCTION STELVIO 1200 4V NTX: THE EAGLE WITH AN APPETITE FOR ADVENTURE.
The new Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX represents a fusion between the Italian passion for motorcycle as an unparalleled expression of style, engineering excellence and riding pleasure, and an appetite for adventure - the irresistible yearning to discover distant, challenging places. This is not the first time that the name "NTX" has been used in the history of Moto Guzzi. In 1986, in the heyday of long distance African races such as the Paris-Dakar and the Rally of the Pharaohs, the Mandello del Lario based marque used this moniker to distinguish its extreme adventure models, bikes that earned such respect that they were produced for over a decade. Today, these three letters have been brought back to identify the most specialised and adventurous version of the Stelvio 1200 4V NTX, the bike that marked the return of Moto Guzzi to the maxi enduro segment. Around this modern and technologically advanced base, a new concept of a no limits motorcycle took shape, creating a bike that is powerful, muscular, robust and unstoppable. Bolstering this image is the robust armour encasing the forms of the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX, consisting of a sump guard, an engine guard and integrated hand shields to protect the rider and his steed from any obstacle on their way. Adding visual presence yet also sturdy and practical, the aluminium panniers and supplementary halogen headlamps complete the generous standard equipment of the new NTX, which may be even further enhanced with a comprehensive selection of optional accessories such as a GPS, heated hand grips and, for the more adventurous rider, a kit of enduro tyres with a rear 150/70 R17 tyre mounted on the standard 4.25 inch rim. Once in the saddle, the reality proves to be even better than you could have imagined, with the powerful Quattrovalvole engine delivering, in its latest incarnation, a maximum torque of 113 Nm at just 5800 rpm, marking a significant improvement over the 108 Nm at 6400 rpm of the previous version. These results were achieved by adopting new cam profiles and a revised air box, which make the Quattrovalvole engine even more responsive at low engine speeds while still producing practically the same maximum power. Completing this technological tour de force is a new ABS braking system, introduced on the Stelvio 1200 4V together with the more flexible engine. The NTX has been designed with the same innovative and modern criteria as its smaller sister, and this is evident in both the quality of the chassis componentry and in premium details such as the adjustable windscreen and saddle, and the ingenious glove-box compartment with remote release operable from the handlebar, which reveal the attention dedicated in the project to rider and passenger ergonomics.

STYLE: Solid elegance.

The style of the new 1200 4V NTX retains the personality and elegance of the original version, with additional metal guards protecting vital parts of the engine emphasising the image of a motorcycle conceived to withstand the most extreme conditions. Painted in a warm magnesium hue, the design of the lightweight fairing features many prismatic elements and concave surfaces which, in the zone linking the top fairing, with its adjustable windshield, to the narrow but capacious fuel tank, express the level of attention that has been dedicated to optimise the aerodynamics, creating downforce at the trail and directing cool air to the cylinders via lateral ducts. The peculiar blow moulding technology was used to produce the tank and helps to minimise dimensions and weight according to the (18-litre) capacity. Moreover, it includes a fantastic glove-box that can be unlocked from the handlebar and is atop the saddle, which, by covering the grooves, avoids direct contact with the rider's legs to ensure superior riding comfort. Once you are seated on the saddle, finely upholstered with non-slip material, it is quite noticeable there is more space for both rider and passenger's comfort. The rider saddle height can be adjusted to two positions, 820 mm or 840 mm from the ground, whereas the passenger, besides being seated on a thick and spacious seat, can count on a solid and comfortable handhold seat strap. Even more aggressive than the front end, the rear end look is dominated by the hi-tech aspect of the rear light with complex surface curve and LEDs, and by an important enhanced aluminium double tail silencer that evokes solidness and power.

COMFORT: Sensation of inner well-being.
Stelvio 1200 4V NTX is a tourer that can also be used off-road, and with excellent performance on asphalt. These characteristics emerge immediately once you are seated on the bike, where the perception of carefully-designed ergonomics can be felt straightaway: saddle, footrests and handlebar form a perfect triangle for all users. Moreover, for the perfectionists, there is still room for minor adjustments: windshield, saddle height (820 or 840 mm), handlebar inclination, levers, pedals, also for professionals, set screws to adjust hydraulic compression/rebound damping of suspension. In a few seconds, everything is at the right place to face any challenge, from city traffic to the most inaccessible off-road paths. In motion, reduced vibration and an efficient aerodynamic protection ensure riding comfort for rider and passenger as well, ideal to tackle long trips. Among the most appreciated features for everyday use, there is a glove-box on the right-side of the tank that can be unlocked from the handlebar and even, if your are wearing gloves. The instrument panel features complete and easily visible gauges- a white-background rpm indicator that incorporates efficient service warning lights, long-range lights (optional), and a dash display that provides plenty of information about the vehicle operation and diagnosis, a fuel level indicator, average and current consumption, average speed, trip time, maximum speed peak reached and, as heated handgrips may be fitted upon request, the heating level of handgrips can also be seen. The Stelvio 1200 4V NTX is a class leader, as a result of an elegant aesthetic appearance, and is also enhanced by features which, while fulfilling a stylistic function, set new parameters in terms of effectiveness and safety. Some examples are the headlight assemblies, highly reliable and effective, manufactured with technology derived from the automotive industry, fittings for the panniers are integrated to the passenger handgrips and the luggage racks, design elements expressing the versatility and calling for adventure and touring of the Stelvio 1200 4V NTX model.

Splendid spoke wheels assembled with Behr rims and Alpina spokes are ideal for Pirelli Scorpion tubeless tyres. The 19-inch front wheel is shod with a 110/80 tyre, while the rear is fitted with a 150/70 tyre. The wheel sizes have been chosen specifically to allow the use of enduro tyres. Even when considering chassis elements, where the overall assembly is what really counts, Stelvio 1200 4V NTX is not afraid of comparisons.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. New verve from the Quattrovalvole engine.
The Stelvio 1200 4V NTX is powered by the first evolution of the Quattrovalvole engine, which was presented in 2006 and is universally acknowledged as being the most advanced iteration yet of the legendary transverse 90 V-twin. For this new version of the engine, low and mid range responsiveness has been significantly improved to better suit the character of the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX as an all terrain machine. The engineers at the Mandello based marque optimised the camshaft profile, the air box and the exhaust (NO) to increase maximum torque from 108 Nm produced at 6400 rpm to 113 Nm available at just 5800 rpm. These results have been attained without compromising this powerplant's claim to fame as being the most powerful and fastest production engine ever built by Moto Guzzi. This highly sophisticated mechanical gem, which is unique in terms of both architecture and engineering clarity, is built using advanced componentry and technical solutions. These include the single overhead camshaft 'high-cam' valve timing driven by Morse chains with hydraulic tensioner skids, the forged pistons with 3 piston rings, cooled by oil jets in the crankcase, ultra-light valves with 5 mm stems and conical valve springs that eliminate resonance and power loss at high engine speeds. The engine is lubricated and cooled by two separate circuits, with two coaxial gear train driven pumps. In the coolant circuit, engine oil is fed via separate conduits in the head to reach the exhaust valve seats - where the highest temperatures are generated - and the heat is then dissipated by an oil radiator, which is located at the front of the engine for maximum exposure to the air flow. The lubrication circuit feeds all the vital organs of the engine, such as the crank and connecting rod bearings and the valve timing components. The heat generated by the impressive power produced by the engine is dissipated by cooling fins, with a modern design and tapered toward the front of the cylinders, while the valve covers - which proudly flaunt the Quattrovalvole moniker - feature floating mounting system to reduce mechanical noise. The Quattrovalvole engine introduces new Marelli IWP 189 fuel injectors installed on the intake ducts of the 50 mm diameter throttle bodies. The gearbox is a genuine six speed mechanical gem that excels for quietness, an easily selectable neutral position and precision, thanks also to the introduction of the quiet and smooth new single plate clutch. The new clutch differs from the previous version as it has less flywheel inertia and is more fade resistant and easier to use.
