Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX comes with a mission
of carrying an evolutionary “Quattrovalvole” engine to shot down it competitors.
The engine is universally considered the most advanced version of the legendary
twin cylinder transverse V at 90°. The engine is equipped with a new twin cam,
lighter clutch and larger air box. It will be able to tackle the hardest
conditions and long travel as well as the engine is responsive at both high and
low revs. Even, the new engine gives more significant extra torque. It delivers
113 Nm at just 5,800 rpm compared to the previous 108 Nm at 6,400 rpm. This
torque figure will make extra amazing feeling in low revs. While the maximum
power is gotten at 7,250 rpm for 105 hp.
The standard features for Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX include cylinder
protectors, overall protection for components, ABS brake system and side
alluminium saddle bags.
THE EAGLE WITH AN APPETITE FOR ADVENTURE.*
The new Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 ABS represents a fusion between the Italian
passion for motorcycle as an unparalleled expression of style, engineering
excellence and riding pleasure, and an appetite for adventure - the irresistible
yearning to discover distant, challenging places. The Stelvio 1200 ABS marks the
return of Moto Guzzi to the large
enduro segment. Around this modern and technologically advanced base, a new
concept of a no limits motorcycle took shape, creating a bike that is powerful,
muscular, robust and unstoppable.
The new Stelvio 1200 ABS has an improved more powerful “Quattrovalvole” engine
delivering, in its latest incarnation, a maximum torque of 113 Nm at just 5800
rpm, marking a significant improvement over the 108 Nm at 6400 rpm of the
previous version.
These results were achieved by adopting new cam profiles and a revised air box,
which make the “Quattrovalvole” engine even more responsive at low engine speeds
while still producing practically the same maximum power. Completing this
technological tour de force is a new ABS braking system, introduced on the
Stelvio 1200 4V together with the more flexible engine. The Stelvio 1200 ABS has
been designed with innovative and modern criteria that is evident in both the
quality of the chassis componentry and in premium details such as the adjustable
windscreen and saddle, and the ingenious glove-box compartment with remote
release operable from the handlebar, which reveal the attention dedicated in the
project to rider and passenger ergonomics.
STYLE: Solid elegance.
The style of the new 1200 ABS retains the personality and elegance of the
original version painted in a warm magnesium hue, the design of the lightweight
fairing features many prismatic elements and concave surfaces which, in the zone
linking the top fairing, with its adjustable windshield, to the narrow but
capacious fuel tank, express the level of attention that has been dedicated to
optimize the aerodynamics, creating downforce and directing cool air to the
cylinders.
The peculiar blow molding technology was used to produce the tank and helps to
minimize dimensions and weight according to the (18-litre) capacity. Moreover,
it includes a fantastic glove-box that can be unlocked from the handlebar. Once
you are seated on the saddle, finely upholstered with non-slip material, it is
quite noticeable there is more space for both rider and passenger's comfort. The
rider saddle height can be adjusted to two positions, 820 mm or 840 mm from the
ground, whereas the passenger, besides being seated on a thick and spacious
seat, can count on a solid and comfortable handhold seat strap.
Even more aggressive than the front end, the rear end look is dominated by the
hi-tech aspect of the rear light with complex surface curve and LEDs, and by an
important enhanced aluminum double tail silencer that evokes solidness and
power.
COMFORT: Sensation of inner well-being.
Stelvio 1200 ABS is a tourer with excellent performance on asphalt that can also
be used off-road. These characteristics emerge immediately once you are seated
on the bike, where the perception of carefully-designed ergonomics can be felt
straightaway: saddle, footrests and handlebar form a perfect triangle for all
users. Moreover, for the perfectionists, there is still room for minor
adjustments: windshield, saddle height handlebar inclination, levers, pedals,
also for professionals, set screws to adjust hydraulic compression/rebound
damping of suspension.
In a few seconds, everything is at the right place to face any challenge, from
city traffic to the most inaccessible off-road paths. In motion, reduced
vibration and an efficient aerodynamic protection ensure riding comfort for
rider and passenger as well, ideal to tackle long trips. Among the most
appreciated features for everyday use, there is a glove-box on the right-side of
the tank that can be unlocked from the handlebar. The instrument panel features
complete and easily visible gauges- a white-background rpm indicator that
incorporates efficient service warning lights, long-range lights (optional), and
a dash display that provides plenty of information about the vehicle operation
and diagnosis, a fuel level indicator, average and current fuel consumption,
average speed, trip time, maximum speed reached during trip and, as heated
handgrips may be fitted upon request, the heating level of handgrips can also be
seen.
The Stelvio 1200 ABS is a class leader, as a result
of an elegant aesthetic appearance, and is also enhanced by features which,
while fulfilling a stylistic function, set new parameters in terms of
effectiveness and safety.
CHASSIS: Designed for non conventional paths.
You should not be mislead by its luxury off-road appearance: the Stelvio 1200
ABS provides superior riding pleasure, since it is equipped for the unexpected
and able to withstand any off-road driving strains.
The secret is the new upper twin spar frame, made of high-strength steel, with
2.5mm thick directional tubes, where the engine is anchored through six
connecting points, two more than in usual frames, which provides a high rigidity
to to resist twisting moments.
Chassis dimensions have been defined to facilitate great handling, a headstock
with a 27° inclination for a 125mm trail, improved by a 1535-mm wheelbase which
guarantees impeccable steering precision.
The suspension is adjustable not only for spring preload but also for the
hydraulic response during compression and rebound. The front end is controlled
by a solid upside-down Marzocchi fork, with 50mm stanchions and 170mm travel.
The rear suspension linkage provides a progressive rising rate and moves a Sachs
unit that works on a 155mm stroke.
The refinement of the suspension department guarantees a neutral setting at all
times, especially when exiting a bend, and the action of the 105 horsepower
generated by the new “Quattrovalvole” engine is requested.
Quick deceleration is guaranteed by the three-disc Brembo braking system. The
effective system consists of radially-mounted calipers engaging onto a couple of
fully drilled discs for better heat dissipation.
Splendid spoke wheels assembled with Behr rims and Alpina spokes are lightweight
and strong. The 19-inch front wheel is shod with a 120/70 tire, while the rear
is fitted with a 180/55 tire. The wheel sizes have been chosen specifically to
provide excellent road handling.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
New verve from the Quattrovalvole engine.
The Stelvio 1200 ABS is powered by the first evolution of the “Quattrovalvole”
engine, which was presented in 2006 and is universally acknowledged as being the
most advanced iteration yet of the legendary transverse 90° V-twin. For this new
version of the engine, low and mid range responsiveness has been significantly
improved to better suit the character of the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 ABS as an
all terrain machine. The engineers at the Mandello based marque optimized the
camshaft profile and the air box to increase maximum torque from 108 Nm produced
at 6400 rpm to 113 Nm available at just 5800 rpm. These results have been
attained without compromising this power plant’s claim to fame as being the most
powerful and fastest production engine ever built by Moto Guzzi.
This highly sophisticated mechanical gem, which is unique in terms of both
architecture and engineering clarity, is built using advanced componentry and
technical solutions. These include the single overhead camshaft driven by Morse
chains with a hydraulic tensioner, the forged pistons with 3 piston rings,
cooled by oil jets in the crankcase, ultra-light valves with 5 mm stems and
conical valve springs that eliminate resonance and power loss at high engine
speeds. The engine is lubricated and cooled by two separate oil circuits, with
two coaxial gear driven pumps. In the cooling circuit, engine oil is fed via
separate conduits in the head to reach the exhaust valve seats - where the
highest temperatures are generated - and the heat is then dissipated by an oil
cooler, which is located at the front of the engine for maximum exposure to the
air flow. The lubrication circuit feeds all the vital organs of the engine, such
as the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings and the valve timing components.
The heat generated by the impressive power produced by the engine is dissipated
by cooling fins, with a modern design and tapered toward the front of the
cylinders, while the valve covers - which proudly flaunt the “Quattrovalvole”
moniker - feature floating mounting system to reduce mechanical noise. The
“Quattrovalvole” engine introduces new Marelli IWP 189 fuel injectors installed
on the intake ducts of the 50 mm diameter throttle bodies. The gearbox is a
genuine six speed mechanical gem that excels for quietness, an easily selectable
neutral position and precision, thanks also to the introduction of the quiet and
smooth new single plate clutch. The new clutch differs from the previous version
as it has less flywheel inertia and is more fade resistant and easier to use.
