When Moto Guzzi brought back the reinvented Stelvio, we were immediately impressed by Mandello’s new liter-class ADV, even in preproduction form. The second Guzzi to use the brand’s new-generation 1,042cc compact-block engine (first was the V100 Mandello) came to the party ready to rumble, with an adjustable inverted fork, ride-by-wire throttle, and a six-axis IMU with ride modes, all anchored by beefy 320mm dual disc brakes. For 2024, Guzzi added a new tech option called Rider Assistance Solution (RAS), a suite of radar-powered safety features that incorporates front and rear radars to enable collision warning, blind spot detection, and lane change assist functions. At this year’s EICMA, however, Guzzi’s ADV all-arounder went into tribute mode with the 2025 Stelvio Duecento Tributo, a special edition created in honor of the 200th anniversary of the alpine road the bike was named for.
With its squiggle of 88 hairpins linking Valtellina and Val Venosta, Passo dello Stelvio has remained a bucket list motorcycling destination for a century. Small wonder that Guzzi felt EICMA 2024 would be a prime opportunity to release a fully loaded Stelvio to pay tribute.
While all the aforementioned mechanics carry over, in the main this special-edition Stelvio stands out for its unique color scheme. For the Stelvio Duecento Tributo (or DT) livery, Guzzi decided a palette inspired by natural elements would fit the bill, with a snow white color dominating the background on the fuel tank, and graphics in blue and red—popular hues for technical mountain gear excursions—adding pops of color. The geographical coordinates of the Stelvio Pass are sprinkled throughout, and down below is a special radiator grille bearing a stylized eagle image.
That’s not to say the Stelvio DT doesn’t get other tasty bits to make your alpine adventures more comfy. On the tech side, the tribute bike also packs the aforementioned PFF Rider Assistance Solution (PFF stands for Piaggio Fast Forward, a Piaggio subsidiary that works on robotics projects) which brings together Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), and Lane Change Assist (LCA) functions. Frontal radar identifies potential collisions with objects, the blind spot monitor detects vehicles within 30 meters, and the lane change assist detects vehicles from the side or from behind that could potentially cause an impact. Those warnings are displayed on the main cockpit dash and in the rearview mirrors.
The Stelvio DT is also equipped with heated handgrips, heated rider and passenger seats, a centerstand, a TPMS tire pressure sensor, a bidirectional quickshifter, and the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform. Following Cruise Control—or adaptive cruise control—is also available as an option.
This special model will be produced in a limited-edition run of 2,758 units; 2,758 is the elevation (2,758 meters above sea level) that makes Stelvio the highest paved pass in Italy. The number of each bike is etched on the handlebar riser.
