Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello: engine, versions and what to know
Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello — the sport-touring motorcycle produced since 2022 with the first liquid-cooled transverse V-twin engine from Moto Guzzi. We look at the versions, engine and what to check when buying used.
V100 Mandello in brief
V100 Mandello — the new generation of Moto Guzzi, combining the signature transverse V-twin engine with modern technologies. It's designed for long journeys but retains the Moto Guzzi character.
The model name is linked to the town of Mandello del Lario, where Moto Guzzi motorcycles have been produced since 1921.
Versions
Two main versions are offered: V100 Mandello and V100 Mandello S, the latter featuring a higher-specification suspension with electronic control. Limited-edition versions have also been released.
As the model is new, it's important to check if the example has a warranty and if all manufacturer recall campaigns have been carried out.
Engine and gearbox
The V100 Mandello is powered by an approximately 1042 cm³ liquid-cooled transverse V-twin two-cylinder engine, producing around 115 hp. This is the first liquid-cooled engine from Moto Guzzi.
The gearbox is a six-speed manual, with power delivered via a driveshaft. The motorcycle features aerodynamic details and advanced electronics.
What to check when buying a used V100 Mandello
Check that all scheduled maintenance has been carried out and that any manufacturer recalls and software updates have been applied. Test the electronics: driving modes, traction control, and (in the S version) the stability control.
Inspect the body plastics, aerodynamic parts, wheels, and brakes. Ask for the service history and ensure the documents match the numbers.
