Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello (2023)

The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello was a landmark motorcycle for one of Italy’s oldest brands. Named after Mandello del Lario, Moto Guzzi’s historic home, it introduced a new compact-block transverse V-twin with liquid cooling, signalling a major technical shift for a company long associated with air-cooled tradition.

Its most unusual feature was adaptive aerodynamics, with electronically controlled side flaps designed to manage airflow around the rider. Combined with modern electronics and touring capability, the V100 Mandello showed Moto Guzzi trying to modernise without abandoning the mechanical layout and character that make the marque instantly recognisable.
