Other electronics include the six-
axis IMU platform, cornering ABS,
semi-active suspension, quick-
shifter, and cruise control powered
by the Marelli 11MP ECU. Up front
you'll find a five-inch color TFT
instrumentation complete with full
LED lighting with a Daytime Run-
ning Light, and cornering lights that
illuminate the corner when leaning.
The 1042cc liquid-cooled motor
is 103mm shorter than the V85
TT small block and uses a double
overhead camshaft layout with
finger followers and four valves per
cylinder. It also uses a wet sump
lubrication system and a hydrauli-
cally controlled wet clutch. The
motor pumps out 115 horsepower
with 77 lb-ft of torque, 90 percent
of it available at 3500 rpm and the
limiter set at 9500 rpm.
A steel tube frame with a 58.5-
inch wheelbase is paired with a
shaft-drive single-sided swingarm,
which eliminates the need for rear-
suspension linkage.
Four ride modes come standard
on the V100 Mandello: Travel,
Sport, Rain and Road. Each of
these manage three different en-
gine mappings, four levels of trac-
tion control, three levels of engine
braking and the Ohlins Smart EC
2.0 semi-active suspension on the
"more comprehensive" model. This
version includes Ohlins semi-active
suspension as standard, quick-
shifter, heated grips and the Moto
Guzzi MIA multimedia platform.
No official word from Moto
Guzzi USA on price and availability
of the V100 Mandello.
