The Stelvio is a winding road immersed in the shadow of the Ortles Massif, with 84 hairpin bends reaching a height of 2,757 metres, linking Valtellina with Val Venosta. For motorcyclists, and other road-lovers, this road built in 1855 is a legendary route combining the difficulties of a winding mountain road with the beauty of nature, condensed into an extraordinary intense riding experience.
For Moto Guzzi it’s a historical test bed, the ideal place to test different chassis setups, deceleration resistance and power, engine response, and suspension. A test bed where Mandello’s new creation, taking its first steps, immediately impressed riders thanks to the dynamic and fun handling. The bike was so impressive it seemed only natural to sum up the talent that went into the design and technical solutions of the new maxi enduro Moto Guzzi in the images and sensations of a place where riding pleasure is enriched by a sense of adventure, a sporting challenge, touring extreme: the Stelvio.
As quoted from the very first review in Motorcycle.com "Well, the Stelvio is here at last, and it’s not hard to see that all the ingredients needed to create an Italian GS are there. The sheer size, the right attitude, the classic big trailie treats. With Guzzi being Guzzi, the styling is classic, too, to a certain extent. The Stelvio designers consciously avoided the asymmetric aggressiveness of the GS articulate front end and went for a much smoother look. If the GS’s disjointed body panels composition is too much for you, then the Stelvio can offer instead a much more quiet and restrained appearance." The Stelvio has what it takes to move to the top of the charts in all aspects of the genre.
