Review
The 2026 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel is a special edition crafted to honor the 70th anniversary of the brand's historic wind tunnel, established in 1954. This motorcycle seamlessly blends classic Italian aesthetics with futuristic technology. At its heart lies the 1042cc liquid-cooled 'Compact Block' transverse 90° V-Twin engine, delivering 115 hp and 105 Nm of torque, ensuring a punchy performance even at low revs. Unlike the base model, the Wind Tunnel edition comes standard with premium features including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension system, a bidirectional Quick Shifter, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and heated grips. The standout feature remains the world-first adaptive aerodynamics, where side winglets automatically adjust based on speed and riding mode to reduce wind pressure on the rider by up to 22%. Finished in an evocative red-and-black livery with gold accents, this model stands as the pinnacle of the V100 range, offering a unique blend of heritage and modern sport-touring capability.
