Technology from motorcycles of the class above, iconic yet contemporary design and an agile, entertaining chassis: The Trip combines innovation and emotion in pure Moto Guzzi style.
- AN EASY, LIGHTWEIGHT AND FUN 500 ROADSTER.
Beautiful to look at and to ride, for those coming to the Moto Guzzi world and for those who already love it. For anyone after a genuine motorcycle with real performance, one that can stir even the most experienced riders without being over-complicated.
At some point we started to believe that motorcycling had to mean extreme performance, outlandish power and ever more demanding machines.
Meanwhile, life has changed.
Cities have become more frantic, free time more
Cities have become more frantic, free time more precious, and the desire for authentic experiences stronger than ever.
Today, true luxury isn’t about more horsepower. It’s about more time. More freedom. More chances to break out of the daily routine.
That’s why we created Moto Guzzi The Trip.
The new 500 roadster ushers in a new generation of Moto Guzzi. A motorcycle for those who want the character of a legendary marque and the ease of use modern life demands.
A bike that makes every journey special
A bike that makes every journey special. From the commute to an impromptu ride after work. From the quickest route to the finest trip.
Because the journey isn’t about how far you go, but about how you choose to use your time.
- TECHNOLOGY IN THE SERVICE OF ENJOYMENT
The Trip is designed to feel intuitive from the very first moment.
At just 180 kg in running order, with a natural riding position and an accessible seat starting at 790 mm from the ground (lower 770 mm and higher 820 mm seats are also available), everything feels simple, easy, immediate.
No stress when manoeuvring
No stress when manoeuvring. No nerves in traffic. Nothing stands between you and the pleasure of riding.
With a technology package from motorcycles of the class above, contemporary design and an agile, entertaining chassis, Moto Guzzi The Trip combines approachability and liveliness like few other bikes. It can win over anyone coming to two wheels for the first time, satisfy the most experienced riders and rekindle the passion of those coming back after years away.
A mid-capacity Moto Guzzi with a big personality.
- STYLE THAT DOESN’T NEED TO SHOUT
The Trip express Moto Guzzi’s new style: pared back, contemporary and authentic.
Every element has been designed by taking away rather than adding, letting what really matters come through: balanced proportions, clean surfaces and the stage presence of the twin-cylinder engine in its deep, minimal black finish.
The 15-litre metal fuel tank (the largest
The 15-litre metal fuel tank (the largest in its class) combines elegance and practicality. The full LED headlight gives Moto Guzzi’s iconic eagle light signature a modern interpretation. The circular 3.6-inch TFT display connects seamlessly with a smartphone and provides clear, immediate information on every journey. The backlit handlebar switchgear is easy and intuitive, keeping everything under control at night too. The bike’s name is elegantly embroidered on the seat.
Because the best technology is the technology that makes life simpler.
- THE PLEASURE OF RIDING, EVERY DAY
At the heart of The Trip is a modern liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, the only one in its class, of almost 48 hp and fully compatible with an A2 licence.
Peak torque also exceeds that of its direct rivals, at 43.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm, with 82% already available at 3,000 rpm.
What makes the difference in everyday use, though,
What makes the difference in everyday use, though, is the way the power is delivered: with its 270° crank, the Moto Guzzi twin has real substance and linearity in its delivery, with most of its torque available from low revs, which translates into excellent response when you open the throttle. The twin-cylinder layout also gives off very little vibration. Its strength is in making every kilometre a pleasure.
Riding is relaxed in urban traffic and engaging when the road opens up beyond the city.
Everything is designed to instil confidence, naturalness and riding pleasure.
Because fun doesn’t come from complexity. It comes from feeling instantly at one with your motorcycle.
The tubular steel trellis frame, a classic
The tubular steel trellis frame, a classic of the Italian motorcycle, is a compact, light structure that keeps overall weight down to just 180 kg in running order. The Trip is by far the lightest and most accessible model in the Moto Guzzi range.
The result is a chassis that is easy and intuitive from the first encounter, where handling and stability work together to make the new bike easy in town and fun on twisty roads.
The 41 mm fork and the side-mounted single shock absorber, both adjustable for spring preload, are tuned to benefit comfort and control.
The braking system, managed by dual-channel ABS,
The braking system, managed by dual-channel ABS, is also top of the class, with a 320 mm disc and radially mounted calliper at the front and a 220 mm disc with a twin-piston calliper at the rear.
- TECHNOLOGY THAT FOLLOWS YOU, NOT TECHNOLOGY THAT DISTRACTS YOU
The Trip gives you all the technology you need, exactly when you need it.
The Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle and three riding modes let you tailor the bike’s character to any situation, with their own calibrations of traction control and engine delivery:
- Road. For taking on every day with smoothness and comfort.
- Sport. For adding energy and fun on your favourite routes.
- Rain. For tackling the most difficult conditions with greater safety.
Integrated pictogram navigation and the Quick Shifter electronic shifter complete the experience, accessories designed to make every ride simpler and more engaging still.
- THE CITY IS ONLY THE STARTING POINT
The Trip is built to get you around
The Trip is built to get you around in style in everyday life, but it can do a great deal more.
It is the bike that makes a detour on the way home special. That takes you to discover a new neighbourhood. A tucked-away bar. A road you have never ridden.
It is the perfect companion for a spur-of-the-moment escape out of town, to the sea at dawn or a hilltop at sunset.
For anyone after new experiences, and for anyone
For anyone after new experiences, and for anyone who loves to travel, even if only in their head.
For those who believe adventure can begin the moment you turn the key and click down into first.
- THREE LIVERIES. THREE WAYS TO LIVE THE TRIP.
The contemporary elegance of the city.
Where Moto Guzzi tradition meets nature.
The eagle’s energy at its most dynamic and sporty.
And to celebrate the start of a new era, there is also The Opening special edition, for anyone who wants to be part of it from day one.
