• Adaptive aerodynamics: motorized side deflectors and an electronically adjustable windscreen reduce fatigue at speed.

• Touring‑friendly ergonomics with a relaxed cockpit and supportive seat for long days in the saddle.

How it rides

The V100 Mandello feels planted and refined. The compact engine layout and shaft drive help keep mass centralized, so it turns in more eagerly than you might expect from a long‑legged tourer. The adaptive aero and windscreen take the edge off highway air pressure, while the electronics work quietly in the background to keep traction and braking composed when roads or weather turn sketchy. Around town it’s tractable and smooth; on backroads it rewards a flowing, torque‑driven pace.
