The 2026 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone represents a significant technological evolution for the iconic Italian roadster while maintaining its timeless soul. The heart of the machine remains the 853cc transverse 90° V-twin, now updated to meet stringent Euro 5+ emission regulations. The most notable upgrade for this model year is the introduction of a Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle system. This advancement allows for smoother power delivery and the inclusion of electronic cruise control as standard equipment, alongside refined riding modes (Road and Rain). The engine produces 67.3 hp at 6,900 rpm and a robust 79 Nm of torque at just 4,400 rpm, ensuring that signature 'Guzzi' grunt is available right where riders need it most in daily traffic and touring.
Handling is managed by a robust double-cradle steel frame, paired with 40mm front telescopic forks and preload-adjustable twin rear shocks. Braking is handled by a high-quality Brembo system featuring a 320mm front disc. One of the standout features of the V7 Stone is its massive 21-liter fuel tank, which provides an exceptional riding range, far surpassing many of its competitors in the retro-classic category. Aesthetically, the bike continues its 'dark' minimalist theme with matte finishes, blacked-out components, and the distinctive eagle-shaped DRL in the full LED headlamp. The updated digital LCD instrument cluster provides clear access to all essential data, including the MGCT (Moto Guzzi Traction Control) settings. The 2026 V7 Stone remains the perfect choice for those seeking authentic Italian heritage combined with modern reliability and safety features.
