Classic enduro is Guzzi’s well-rounded reentry into the adventure segment.

They’re calling it a “classic travel enduro,” but awkward marketing phrases aside, the V85 TT does indeed showcase Moto Guzzi’s unique approach in its re-entry to the adventure market. The V85 TT wraps Guzzi’s redesigned transversal 853cc V-twin in a balanced new trellis frame supported by long-travel suspension, and gives it retro styling that taps into Paris-Dakar-era machines. The result is a solid all-arounder that’s more adventure-touring than singletrack focused, but the V85 TT can still get dirty if need be.

The base model is…a versatile on-road motorcycle with great engine character, adequate suspension, and a stiff chassis.…”
