We’ve learned a fair amount about the upcoming Moto Guzzi V850 X over the past year. After spy shots surfaced in October, 2022, we expected a modern take on the Mandello Del Lario brand’s vintage-styled V850 series. Moto Guzzi’s own description characterized the retro remix as a “synthesis of different worlds such as the flat track and that of the scrambler.”
By mixing modern elements with modest off-road capabilities, the V850 X could slot neatly between the existing V7 range and Guzzi’s V85 TT adventure-tourer. Type-approval documents only supported the spy shots and short design description by revealing the X variant’s model specs.
