The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- Distinctive shaft-drive, transverse V-twin character with nothing else quite like it on sale in India
- Genuine off-road capability: switchable ABS and traction control plus a dedicated Off-road riding mode, not just badge-deep adventure styling
- Comparatively light and narrow for a large-capacity adventure tourer, with real touring-friendly mileage around 20 kmpl
Worth knowing
- Fully imported CBU with a modest, few-city dealer network (Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Kochi, Vijayawada), so accessibility and parts lead times are real considerations
- Source disagreement on current India status: BikeDekho lists the model as discontinued/no longer available while ZigWheels and evoindia.com both show it as currently on sale at Rs 15.40 lakh; treated as available here based on the two corroborating sources plus Moto Guzzi's own global model page
- Priced in the same bracket as more powerful liquid-cooled rivals like the Ducati DesertX and Triumph Tiger 900 while offering less peak power from an air-cooled engine
- Price sources disagree: most sites list Rs 15.40 lakh ex-showroom, the figure shown here, while BikeWale shows Rs 16.46 lakh, which is the same price adjusted for the September 2025 GST rise to 40% on motorcycles above 350cc. Confirm the exact quote with a dealer.
