The Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX is the last of the Mana 850 GT and Shiver 750 GT trio that made its debut in the Dolomites. In the following gallery, you can see the pics of the Stelvio road test with the stunning mountain backdrop.

With the new Stelvio 1200 4V NTX, Moto Guzzi introduces an important evolution on the “Quattrovalvole” engine to its maxi enduro range. The engine was created in 2006 and is universally considered the most advanced version of the legendary twin cylinder transverse V at 90°. Available in brushed magnesium, the Moto Guzzi Stelvio is on the market at a price of 14,660 euros.

This Stelvio version is one for great travellers, with a robust engine that’s responsive at both high and low revs, and that is ready to go the distance. It’s designed to withstand some of the hardest conditions, and has been updated with a new twin cam, lighter clutch and larger air box.

Here’s the official video of Aprilia’s new Mana 850 GT which, together with the Shiver GT (and the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V NTX), has debuted on the Dolomite mountain range in Italy. In this enchanting natural scenery, more than 60 journalists from 15 countries are road testing the new Piaggio Group models over a 140 km course with 3,000 metres of altitude covered and 100 switch back corners.

The Mana GT 850 is famous for its Sport Gear transmission in a versatile bike that marks the missing link in an evolution of road and sports bike style that has broadened its appeal to a now wider market.

The transmission is a sequential/automatic shift and other features include radial calipers, upside-down fork and comfort elements such as helmet storage and adjustable windshield. It has ABS brakes and costs about 10,550 euros in its home market. Check out the huge gallery of the Aprilia Mana GT below.

The new Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V has been revealed in the historic Siena seat of Monte dei Paschi. The new Stelvio is Guzzi’s answer to recent releases from BMW. As discussed by CEO Tomasso Giocoladelli: “Guzzi can’t afford to be even a centimetre behind the competition. We can only grow if we offer the technological developments the market demands: entering in new segments is a compulsory choice.”

The Stelvio is arriving on the market after much news, including the Griso and the arrival of the “fourvalve” engine, latest evolution in the lengendary twin-cylinder V. The capacity is at 1151cc and compared to the Griso the main difference regards the new bigger, but lighter, exhaust system. The maximum power is 105 hp with a torque of 11 Kgm at 6,400 revs.

The 251 kg of the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 4V reveal a strong bike but of an elegant and harmonious style. They’ve hit on the right colour - white chrome - popular these days. The starting price is at 12,990 euro. In the following extensive photo gallery, you can find the various colours and details of the dynamic bike.
