Moto Guzzi Reveals All-New 2027 The Trip
Moto Guzzi has been a legendary name in the motorcycle scene for more than a century. Now, the Italian icon has introduced its all-new bike with a decidedly more unconventional name: The Trip.
It’s not necessarily the name we would’ve chosen. You can’t say it’s not a unique title, though.
The 2027 Moto Guzzi The Trip was presented at the EICMA show in Italy. According to the company, the roadster marks the birth of a new generation of Moto Guzzi bikes.
Powering the midsized machine is a liquid-cooled 457cc parallel-twin, a departure from the signature Moto Guzzi V-twin setup. The power output reaches its 47.6-horsepower peak at 9,400 rpm. Moto Guzzi claims the maximum torque of 32 lb-ft at 6,700 rpm beats the bike's direct competitors (although a comparison to similar displacement engines from other marques reveals it to be more or less on par).
The six-speed gearbox comes with a standard quickshifter. With its engine tuning, The Trip promises linear power delivery and a responsive throttle.
The Trip uses a tubular steel trellis frame that, together with the 3.96-gallon fuel tank (claimed to be the largest in its class), gives the motorcycle a total weight of 396.8 pounds. That heft makes the bike the lightest Moto Guzzi available in the U.S. The seat height is at 31.1 inches, about standard for the category.
For suspension, you get a 41mm inverted fork and a lateral monoshock, both adjustable for preload. Brake components are from the Brembo ByBre catalog and consist of a 320mm floating disc and four-piston caliper in the front and a 220mm disc and a single-piston caliper in the rear.
Moto Guzzi has included a ride-by-wire throttle, which enables three ride modes (Road, Sport, and Rain). Traction control and engine power are not customizable outside this preset trio. To control them, you get a round 3.6-inch TFT display and backlit handlebar switchgear.
The company says The Trip is the first motorcycle to introduce the new Moto Guzzi look. It boasts a stripped-down design, with minimalist body panels and geometric shapes. It’s certainly contemporary, but we’ll leave it to the hardcore Guzzisti to decide if it captures the brand’s essence.
The 2027 Moto Guzzi The Trip is available in Black Metropolis, Green Grove, and Red Beat colorways. There will also be a limited edition The Trip The Opening (yes, that’s what they call it) trim available. When we saw the press release about The Trip, we thought we were going to watch a motorcycle film.
Pricing information has not been revealed at the time of writing, but the bike will be available in early 2027.
