A REVAMPED DESIGN AND ENDLESS
IMPROVEMENTS LAUNCH MOTO GUZZI STELVIO INTO THE SCRUM ALONG WITH THE OTHER MAXI
ENDURO. HIGHLY SUPERIOR AERODYNAMIC PROTECTION PROVIDED BY A BRAND NEW
WINDSHIELD, A TRULY HIGH PERFORMING ENGINE AND A RECORD RANGE THANKS TO THE NEW
32 LITRE FUEL TANK. AVAILABLE ALSO WITH THE NTX NO-LIMITS VERSION
Named after the famous Alpine pass
that connects Valtelline Valley to Vinschgau Valley with 84 amazing s-bends
between them, Stelvio has launched Moto Guzzi back among the stars of the maxi
enduro world. A highly appreciated bike that has now reached a coming of age at
a technical-functional level, thanks to the updates and final tweaking undergone
by the MY2011.
It all starts with its style, now
even more attractive and trendy rounding off the fuel tank by integrating it
within the lightweight fairing, which now highlights a clearly smooth
streamlined effect which flows into the double front headlight assembly. The
latter feature is a distinctive element of the Stelvio design, and the only
detail inherited from the previous version.
The top fairing, windshield and the
half-fairing with integrated turn indicators are all brand new elements that
combine to give the front-end of the Stelvio MY2011 a cutting-edge, more
aggressive and dynamic look. It has an original design, but it is above all more
functional and versatile, features that are of uppermost importance on models of
this type. From an objective standpoint, the style of the new surfaces
emphasises two fundamental project milestones compared to the previous version:
more efficient aerodynamic protection, thanks to the new top fairing and
practically twice fold range capacity thanks to the outstanding new fuel tank
with a 32 litre record capacity.
This new Stelvio bike has an air of
complete renovation about it, fine examples being the cockpit with brand new
graphs on the on-board control panel, a new increased scale fuel indicator.
The heart that beats inside this touring bike is the renowned V-shaped 90°
transverse twin-cylinder "Four valve" engine, the highest performer among all
the families of engines manufactured at Mandello del Lario, which has now
reached exclusive levels as far as its technical/performance development is
concerned.
This latest version can boast the
careful attention paid to achieve a more silent and smooth running of the
engine, whilst tweaking the electronic control, timing system and cooling
system. The brand new integrated ignition and injection ECU now exploits the
signals sent by the two lambda probes to guarantee adequate feeding throughout
the entire combustion cycle, improving response to the throttle control, mid
range power delivery further to consumptions and emissions.
The engine now boasts a maximum torque of over 104 Nm delivered at a mere 5,500
rpm and easily reaches a peak in output of over 102 Hp; it practically reaches
an automobile-level speed of 7,000 rpm.
Due to the unanimous success of
Stelvio's chassis, no changes of any kind have been made to the upper dual beam
frame, in high tensile steel that is connected to the engine in six different
points giving an exceptionally high levels of torsional rigidity.
The chassis geometry therefore remains unaltered, with a rake of 27°, a 125 mm
trail, improved by the all important 1535 mm wheelbase which guarantees
impeccable steering precision, and is something that has contributed to boosting
the reputation of this model
over time. High quality suspension whose adjustable preload and hydraulic
response during compression and rebound combine to ensure instant, smooth
response to pressure on the handlebar.
The front-end is controlled by a
solid 50 mm upside-down Marzocchi fork with 170 mm travel, whereas the rear-end
has progressive action suspension kinematic mechanism moved by a Sachs rear
monoshock which runs on a 155 mm stroke. The Brembo braking system remains in
place, unbeatable in terms of efficacy and look, along with the front
radial-mounted callipers that engage with a new couple of discs, with lighter
flanges and a new brake band that better dissipates heat. Innovation also for
the wheels which now boast a cutting-edge designed set of light alloy rims and
the standardisation of the rear sizes 150/70/17, previously exclusively mounted
on the NTX, also on the standard version of the Stelvio 1200. On request, the
wheels can also be assembled with Ber rims and Alpina spokes, which are standard
fixtures on the NTX version whilst both models are fitted with the new
Continental ABS anti-lock system.
The NTX is the more "adventurous"
version of the Stelvio, and now has all the technical features of the base
version, plus some exceptional new fixtures, i.e. the sturdy "armour" that
embraces it and comprises the oil sump guard, engine guard, cylinder guard and
full cover hand-guards to protect the rider and his bike against the hidden
dangers throughout his trip.
A bike dedicated to long haul travellers naturally needs luggage space, hence
the spacious aluminium panniers and additional halogen lights. Even more luxury
options are available on the accessory catalogue including a GPS navigator,
heated hand-grips, and CA.RC protection(Carcfano Reattivo Compatto, i.e. Compact
Reactive Cardan Shaft Drive).
The new Stelvio MY 2011 will be on
sale from next Spring boasting Guzzi Black and Diamond White colour schemes,
while the NTX will flaunt a brand new colour concept on a black satin finish
base.
