The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello range is updated for 2025, including the introduction of the new special-edition Wind Tunnel version, which celebrates the 70th anniversary of wind-tunnel testing as designed by Carlo and Giuseppe Guzzi in the 1950s.
All V100 Mandello models (standard, S, and Wind Tunnel) receive updates to the transmission. These updates were first introduced on the Stelvio in 2024 and consist of relocating the cotter from the primary shaft of the gearbox to the clutch to enhance its damping capacity and overall operation. The bikes’ shared 1,042cc V-Twin engine is also now Euro 5+ compliant. Another new detail is the central radiator guard to protect against debris.
The V100 Mandello S gets additional upgrades. It already benefited from a host of additional features, including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, an up/down quickshifter, heated grips, a tire-pressure-monitoring system, and the MIA multimedia platform. For 2025, it now comes with the PFF Rider Assistance Solution system as standard.
The PFF Rider Assistance Solution system is based on Imaging Radar 4D technology and uses Forward Collision Warning, Blind Sport Information System, and Lane Change Assist functions to make riding safer.
The V100 Mandello will be available in Blu Oceano or Grigio Titanio. The V100 Mandello S includes a two-tone paint and will be available in Verde Ghiaccio or Rosso Lava, with rims, cylinder heads, and forks finished in gold.
2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel
A new special-edition V100 Mandello will be offered in 2025 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the introduction of the first wind tunnel for motorcycle testing. This motorcycle-specific wind tunnel, designed by Carlo and Giuseppe Guzzi, was officially opened on April 12, 1954, and it’s still used as an essential part of testing at the Moto Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario.
The Wind Tunnel special-edition option comes with the S version’s extra features, including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, up/down quickshifter, heated grips, a tire-pressure-monitoring system, and the MIA multimedia platform.
Special to the V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel is its livery. It’s red with a black tailsection and front fender, and the tank includes black graphics on the side. Gold detailing on the tank matches the gold cylinder heads. Pricing has not yet been announced.

Moto Morini called and asked for their paint back. The wind tunnel explains the general sleekness of Guzzis throughout time….LOL
From this North American’s perspective, it’s not the product that’s the weak link, it’s the distribution of the product. Unless Piaggio Group wants to create demand by manufacturing scarcity, we’ll see more of these motorcycles on the internet than on the road. Don’t mind going a few hundred miles to buy one, but don’t want to do the same to get service and parts. Is this a fixable challenge?
You nailed it, my friend.
As much as I like this bike, I would be more than crazy to purchase one…if I could even find one.
MG needs to either tap the US market in earnest (and DO all the things required – dealerships, technicians, parts readily available, etc), or – IMHO – they really should stop wasting everyone’s time and keep their marketing, press releases, etc in Europe.
Fortunately, I have a great dealership that is only 50 miles away from my home.
It’s a great motorcycle!
