Moto Guzzi V85 TT Tutto Terreno
Moto Guzzi have unveiled this pre production version of the V85 Tutto Terreno (all- terrain) adventure bike they showed as a
concept in 2017. The V85TT boasts all the usual adventure
touring mod-cons such as a 21-litre tank good for around 250
miles and an adjustable screen.
But despite its retro style, theres still lots of tech under the hood. It
comes with traction control and ABS, both of which are altered depending on
riding mode (Road, Rain or Off-Road). Plus, its all controlled through a
full-colour TFT dash, which shows fuel level, speed, revs, gear, temperature and
cruise control settings. The dash is also home to the firms in-built Bluetooth
multimedia system.
Although the V85 shares the same bore architecture as the V9, its a
completely different engine. Theres a new crankshaft mated to new, stiffer
conrods and shorter piston skirts resulting in a 30% drop in rotating mass. It
also has a semi-dry crankcase, with a scavenging oil pump, which helps keep the
engine cool and negates the need for an oil-cooler. And although still only two
valves per cylinder, new titanium intake valves have allowed Guzzi to fit a more
radical cam which, combined with a new 52mm throttle body, boosts power to
78bhp.
Although still a big air-cooled transverse V-twin, Guzzi say theyre minor
tweaks away from meeting Euro5. There are external changes, too. The crankcases
are stiffer to allow use as a stressed member and the gearbox has been adjusted
to be smoother running, including a synchroniser that eliminates the jolt when
you engage first gear. It sticks, however, with Guzzis tried-and-tested shaft
drive but is 70mm longer than the V7.
The chassis and suspension have been designed to give reasonable ground
clearance for off-road while also maintaining a low seat height and, although
the suspension is fairly basic, it is preload adjustable. The bike also has
19in/17in wheels, for light off-road, although its spoked rims necessitate inner
tubes.
