Moto Guzzi V85 TT Tutto Terreno
MOTO GUZZI V85 TT TECHNOLOGY, STYLE, IDENTITY, EMOTION, THE NEW V85 TT IS THE ALL-TERRAIN ACCORDING TO MOTO GUZZI, FOR EVERY ROAD AND EVERY JOURNEY MOTO GUZZI V85 TT IS CREATED AROUND A TOTALLY NEW TECHNICAL PLATFORM WITH THE 80 HP, 80 NM TWIN AND BRAND-NEW FRAME AND SUSPENSION THE CLASSIC TRAVEL ENDURO RETAINS THE VALUES AND AUTHENTICITY OF THE NOBLE MANDELLO BRAND AND PROMISES UNIQUE RIDING EXPERIENCES, IN KEEPING WITH MOTO GUZZI TRADITION Almost a century of tradition, passion, and significant commercial and sporting success; almost a century of magnificent motorcycles all built in Mandello del Lario, combining the best technologies with first-rate Italian manufacturing techniques: Moto Guzzi values since 1921. Moto Guzzi V85 TT is created in keeping with this strong identity, skillfully balancing that classic, evocative style with cutting-edge technical equipment. Presented at EICMA 2017, and having kept to its development and production schedule, the new Moto Guzzi reflects a construction philosophy in which simplicity, practicality and lightness make for an unfiltered relationship between motorcycle and rider.
Travelling to Live, the V85 TT is the
All-Terrain Machine for Adventure Every Day
The TT acronym, already a part of Moto Guzzi
tradition, is an ideal fit for the V85: meaning tutto terreno,
or all-terrain, it identifies a motorcycle dedicated to travel in its purest and
most original form, conjuring up clear images of desert adventures such as the
Paris-Dakar. The famous African race was at its peak as the 1980s dawned
Taking
center stage was man, ever intent on challenging nature and himself, in total
harmony with his motorcycle. A compass, road book and watch were the only
navigational tools with which to reach the final destination of Lac Rose, which
remained just a dream for many. The goal was not just to compete, but to
discover unique places, a value that V85 TT wants to reinstate.
Moto Guzzi V85 TT is the new and original
all-terrain that combines style features reminiscent of the golden age of
motorcycle adventures with the content and functionality of a modern touring
enduro. V85 TT is dedicated to those who, while still dreaming of the Dakar,
seek a motorcycle that can also inject adventurous spirit into the everyday
journey.
Style: V85 TT is the Classic Travel
Enduro
The fundamental concepts at the heart of the
V85 TT project are simplicity, ease and practicality, values typical of those
80s enduro bikes that could be used for anything, from the daily commute to
adventurous trips, yet also values that are gradually getting lost in an
increasingly homologated market, where ranges favor significant size and weight.
Moto Guzzi V85 TT achieves its ambitious goal of combining a style based on said
values with the needs of a modern touring enduro. This is why it deserves the
title of classic enduro, dedicated to touring. Its design combines technology
and functionality, with typical Moto Guzzi traits to ensure durability. The
desire for simple shapes is clear: with no kind of fairing, the V85 TT is
defined by the lines of its tank, its side panels and the front mudguard, as
well as its brand-new sculpted 90° V-twin engine of course.
Designed with proportions that are anything
but prohibitive, accessible to riders of all sizes and experience, and narrow in
girth to allow freedom of movement, the V85 TT ensures an optimal ride for rider
and passenger. Comfort and usability are never compromised, for a motorcycle
that is comfortable in two, even at full load. Air protection is ensured by a
smoke plexiglass windscreen, its shapes researched in the wind tunnel; the pair
of handguards installed on the handlebar protect extremities against bad weather
and the cold, helping to make the V85 TT the ideal companion in any season. The
design of the 21-litre tank (able to guarantee mileage of over 400 km) harks
back to the tradition of Moto Guzzi bikes kitted out for African raids and
boasts some meticulously crafted details, such as the slots on the front section
and the recesses just above the engine heads, which appear to be generated by
the twin itself.
Extensive research was carried out in defining
the contact area with the seat, in order to ensure optimum riding comfort when
seated and freedom of movement when standing during typical off-road riding. The
seat is 830 mm from the ground, allowing feet to easily touch for optimum
control when maneuvering a stationary bike, also thanks to the compactness of
the under body and an overall weight reduced to just 208 kg (dry weight).
The riding position is erect, with relaxed back, legs that are barely flexed and
correctly bent arms to effectively grip the wide variable section aluminum
handlebars, for total control.
Under the seat is a practical storage
compartment. The high front mudguard and beautiful double front headlight are
also in keeping with Moto Guzzi history, these stylish and functional solutions
already present on the 1996 NTX 650 and the 1989 Quota 1000 respectively.
Classic all-terrain style features (including fork stanchion protection, an
exhaust system with high silencer and the aluminum engine sump guard) are
combined with technologically cutting-edge elements, such as the digital
instrument cluster and the series of LED lights on the headlamp with DRL that
trace the shape of the Moto Guzzi eagle.
Chassis: For the Utmost Riding
Pleasure and Ease
That Moto Guzzi ability to build superb
chassis is once again confirmed with the V85 TT. Only the new Moto Guzzi can
boast such a solid and precise front end as it enters a corner; only V85 TT is
able to give the rider such a sense of control and safety while seeking
excitement on the road. Much of this is down to the particular layout of the
high resistance steel tubular frame, complete with beautiful rider footpeg
support plates in die-cast aluminum (with removable rubber for off-road riding).
As well as being completely new, it has no lower cradle, thus reducing weight
while increasing engine clearance from the ground, essential when it comes to
off-road riding. In pursuit of lightness, rationality and accessibility,
it exploits the specific anchorage of the engine to create a rigid structure
that restores precision and rigor on the road as well as robustness as well as
the right feel for off-road riding. The rear part of the frame is designed to
optimize load capacity and offer the passenger two wide and practical grab
handles. A case can be mounted on the practical rear luggage rack, while
optional panniers can be fastened to the sides, for significantly reduced
lateral bulk.
Reduced longitudinal development of the new
small block engine allows for a very long swingarm, for safe and intuitive
riding. The new asymmetric unit in box-type aluminum features a curved left arm,
for a very linear exhaust pipe design and a reduction of lateral bulk. The right
arm of the swingarm houses the new shaft drive transmission. V85 TT is the only
bike in its segment to use shaft drive transmission, prioritized over a chain
drive because it makes no mess and requires no maintenance. The single shock
absorber connects the chassis directly to the right arm of the swingarm, a
solution that facilitates access to the hydraulic and spring preload
adjustments, thus allowing free space for the exhaust system layout. The
suspension offers very generous wheel travel (equal to 170 mm for both wheels)
for satisfying off-road use, thanks also to significant engine ground clearance
of 210 mm (the engine protected by an aluminum sump guard), while also ensuring
comfort on the road. The fork (with 41 mm stanchions) and shock with separate
tank are both adjustable in terms of shock preload and hydraulic rebound. The
braking system is of superior quality, comprising a double 320 mm steel front
disc with two radial-mounted Brembo calipers with 4 opposed pistons, connected
to the pump at the handlebar with metal trellis tubing. At the rear is a 260 mm
steel floating caliper with 2 pistons. The unit is controlled by a multimap
Continental ABS system. The spoked wheels mount 17 and 19 tires (respectively
150/70-17 and 110/80-19), measurements that will also satisfy off-road
enthusiasts.
A New Engine, a Future Classic
The V85 TT introduces a new Moto Guzzi engine.
Its configuration mirrors that of all Moto Guzzi bikes in production today: an
air-cooled transverse 90° V twin with OHV distribution and two valves per
cylinder, the pride and tradition of the Mandello Eagle. Engine capacity is 853
cc, thanks to a bore to stroke ratio of 84 x 77 mm. The most modern of all
engines in the range, it can boast a ratio of almost 100 HP/liter. Thanks to its
complete new design and the use of materials generally destined
for race bikes, such as titanium, the new eight and a half is able to deliver
maximum power of 80 HP and boast an impressive maximum torque value of 80 Nm at
5,000 rpm, with 90% of the torque already available at 3,750 rpm, in keeping
with the tradition of the Mandello twin, which has always offered excellent
drive even at very low revs. This is the first Moto Guzzi small block engine
that can easily reach 8000 rpm, an aspect that showcases its modern and
exuberant nature.
The crankcase is the fruit of a new design and
is stiffer, in order to fulfil its new role as a stress-bearing element in the
frame, introducing new frame connections and strengthening elements in the
internal stud bolt area. It also features new ports in order to check the oil
level in the lower semi-crankcase. Lubrication involves a semi dry sump, with
two coaxial pumps tasked with oil delivery and recovery that ensure excellent
lubrication and do away with the need for an oil radiator, thus reducing the
overall weight. The semi dry sump solution allows for a totally isolated
crankcase chamber, preventing any power absorption that would occur with a dry
sump system, where the piston also has to overcome the counter-pressure inside
the sump. The oil circuit is totally new and features holes of different
diameters, with one of the two pumps transferring lubricant from the crankcase
chamber to the sump. The latter is reduced in size to increase ground clearance
and allow for assembly of the protective aluminum under-sump. The whole
crankshaft is new and, together with the piston rods, also new, allows for a
reduction in weight of almost 30% with respect to other small block engines,
upping throttle response speed while significantly reducing any vibration. The
upper section of the twin engine is also totally new: in keeping with Moto Guzzi
identity, OHV distribution with two valves per cylinder is retained, though the
system and materials used are all new. Cylinders are of reduced height, while
new and efficient oil passages and a brand-new fastening system to the crankcase
ensure robustness and reliability.
The heads have new special-shaped mix entry
ducts and links. One of the stand-out aspects of a Moto Guzzi engine is its
distribution, complete with aluminum roller cams and rocker arm pushrods. The
use of 42.5 mm titanium intake valves, which weigh half of
those in steel, has allowed for much more radical opening timing, to the benefit
of maximum power. Low-profile pistons are used, with 20 mm pins, as well as new
head and plug covers that differ in shape, while the flywheel and generator have
been boosted. Injection makes use of a single 52 mm throttle body, while
electronic management is entrusted to a multimap Ride-by-Wire
throttle control, a solution that allows for delicate and scrupulous control of
valve opening, not only optimizing overall efficiency for a smooth, rich
delivery, but also saving on fuel. The new Moto Guzzi engine is in fact very
frugal in terms of consumption: it has few components that absorb power (OHV
distribution is one of the most frugal in terms of power absorption) and has no
cooling circuit pump or long drive chains or belts.
Significant work has been done on the gearbox
to make it smoother and more precise. The gearbox and clutch housing make for
increased ground clearance; the dry clutch exploits a reinforcement disc under
the clutch plate as well as a new clutch disc; a triple ring system is also
introduced for the first time: a synchronizer that reduces gear noise to a
minimum, particularly that of first gear. The ratios are new. In addition, the
gears gain flexible coupling, for even smoother final transmission at the PTO
shaft, this too new. Lastly, the swingarm housing zone is sized accordingly and
features large diameter bearings.
First-Rate Technology and Content
For the V85 TT project to achieve its main
goal, or rather to satisfy Guzzista in their daily riding as well as in their
touring and adventurous off-road riding, Moto Guzzi has designed a complete
range of standard electronic equipment, without any inopportune technological
overload, for maximum travel enjoyment. To make life on board easier and safer,
Moto Guzzi introduces three different riding modes on the V85 TT: Road, Rain and
Off-road. Each of these Riding Modes corresponds to a different engine mapping
and a different ABS and MGCT traction control calibration, as well as a
different response from the Ride-by-Wire accelerator control:
Road: designed for smooth riding while still retaining an element of fun. Foresees a medium level of MGCT traction control calibration, ABS active on both channels and a prompt throttle response. Rain: ideal in situations of reduced grip, to ensure maximum safety while riding. Foresees a higher level of traction control calibration, ABS active at both wheels and a gentler throttle response. Off-road: the setting for the all-terrain soul of the V85 TT, designed to make the most of the chassis and engine during off-road exploits. Foresees the lowest level of traction control intervention, ABS only active at the front wheel with dedicated calibration (and with the possibility to deactivate it at the front wheel), along with a gentler throttle response assisted by greater engine braking.
The rider need only select the preferred mode, safe in the knowledge that Moto Guzzi has developed the best possible electronic configuration for each Riding Mode. Comfort seats: a complete range of seats that increase comfort levels thanks to a special 3D insert. Available in three different heights. Clutch and brake lever: machined from solid, they improve ergonomics by offering four-position adjustment. Additional LED lights: with an aluminum body and contained size, the lights use limited power. They integrate perfectly with the bike and allow for greater visibility and safety during night-time riding. Foldaway mirrors: They fold in on themselves towards the handlebar, to reduce bulk during off-road use. Mudguard: Created in injected plastic material, it is mounted on the shaft drive and protects the engine from stones and water. Sport Adventure tires: Michelin Anakee Adventure, as standard on special versions. High grip brake pedal: laser-cut and power painted in a resistant material. Ensures perfect grip even in the most extreme situations. Moto Guzzi Multi-media Platform: the new device that allows for a smartphone to be connected to the bike, transforming it into a real multimedia platform. Electronic anti-theft system: comprises a compact and technologically advanced ECU that is easy to install. Complete with remote control. The system is self-powered with minimum energy absorption. Light protection: an anti-impact, scratch-proof polycarbonate sheet. Protects the light from any impact or accidental damage. Particularly useful on off-road routes. Tool bag: created in leather, it can be affixed to the luggage rack with screws. Practical for keeping all those tools needed for an emergency repair (tools not included). Fuel tank cover: in adhesive 3D material, they provide superficial protection for the tank and limit rider sliding.
