2024 Moto Guzzi Stelvio: The shaft‑drive ADV is back

Moto Guzzi revives the Stelvio for 2024, building it around the brand’s modern 1,042 cc “Compact Block” transverse V‑twin and a road‑focused ADV chassis. If you’ve been waiting for a charismatic, shaft‑drive adventure tourer with real long‑haul comfort and contemporary electronics, the new Stelvio deserves a spot on your shortlist.

Why it matters

• Characterful V‑twin + shaft drive in a segment dominated by chains
• Comfortable, touring‑ready ergonomics with a 19/17 wheel setup for mixed‑surface travel
• Modern rider aids, connectivity, and optional radar‑based assistance
• A distinctive Italian alternative to the big‑name adventure bikes

Engine and performance

At the heart of the Stelvio is Moto Guzzi’s liquid‑cooled, DOHC 90° V‑twin (approx. 1,042 cc), tuned for broad midrange and smooth cruising. Factory figures cite around 115 hp with roughly 105 Nm of torque, paired to a 6‑speed gearbox and a maintenance‑friendly shaft final drive. Multiple ride modes tailor throttle response, traction control, ABS behavior, and engine braking for touring, sporty riding, wet conditions, and light off‑pavement use.

Chassis, comfort, and tech

A tubular steel frame, long‑travel suspension, and a 19-inch front/17-inch rear wheel combo give the Stelvio a confident, road‑biased ADV stance that’s still happy on graded dirt. Dual front discs with radial calipers provide strong braking, while an IMU supports cornering ABS and advanced traction control. A full‑color TFT, cruise control, LED lighting, and smartphone connectivity (Moto Guzzi MIA) round out the touring package.

Optional “PFF Rider Assistance” introduces radar‑based features such as blind‑spot and lane‑change alerts to increase situational awareness on busy highways—an increasingly valuable safety net for long, luggage‑laden journeys.
