Our take on this /// Verdict
The Moto Guzzi V85 TT is a unique blend of old-school charm and modern technology, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile adventure bike. I found the riding position to be extremely comfortable, with a natural hands, backside, feet triangle that makes long rides a pleasure. The bikes handling is agile and confident, whether navigating tight mountain passes or cruising through city streets. The air-cooled 850cc V-twin engine, while not the most powerful, offers a characterful and manageable power delivery that is well-suited for both on-road and off-road adventures. However, the bikes suspension can feel a bit firm and unsettled at times, and the standard windshield could be improved for better wind protection. Overall, the V85 TT is a great option for riders who value a balanced riding experience and dont need extreme power or track-focused performance.
Price
In India, the Moto Guzzi V85 TT is priced around 12.5 lakh ex-showroom, which can go up to approximately 14.5 lakh on-road, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the V85 TT as a premium offering in the middleweight adventure bike segment. While it may seem steep, the bikes unique blend of retro styling, modern features like a 4.3-inch TFT screen and Bluetooth connectivity, and its robust build quality justify the cost. Additionally, the bikes low maintenance requirements, thanks to its shaft drive and air-cooled engine, can help offset the initial investment over time.

Latest Updates
Saturday, 20 April 2024 11:50 AM
For 2024, Moto Guzzi has introduced three variants of the V85TT: the V85 Strada, V85 TT, and V85 TT Travel. The V85 Strada is positioned as the lightest and sportiest model, featuring aluminum alloy wheels and lacking off-road parts. The V85 TT is geared towards off-road capabilities with tubless spoked wheels and a skid plate, while the V85 TT Travel is equipped with a new touring windscreen, side deflectors, and Urban series side cases. I think this diversification will appeal to a broader range of riders.

The 2024 Moto Guzzi V85TT range has received significant engine updates, including the addition of variable valve timing, which increases horsepower to 80 at 7,750 rpm and torque to 61.2 lb.-ft. at 5,100 rpm. The engine now complies with Euro 5+ emissions standards and offers smoother throttle response and improved low-end torque. I believe these changes will enhance the overall riding experience, especially for those who value both power and efficiency.
Tuesday, 07 November 2023 04:18 PM
Moto Guzzi has improved the aerodynamics of the V85TT models through computational wind tunnel testing. The new adjustable windscreen, wider hand guards, and front tank cover reduce air pressure on the rider by 37%. The V85 TT Travel features a larger, manually-adjustable windscreen and side air deflectors, further enhancing wind protection. I think these aerodynamic improvements will make long-distance riding more comfortable.

The 2024 V85TT models come with enhanced electronics, including a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) for better ABS and traction control modulation. The bikes also feature a redesigned 5” TFT display and new switches for easier access to the electronic suite. Cruise control is standard across all models, operated by a single multi-purpose button. I believe these technological upgrades will make the bikes more user-friendly and safe.
Tuesday, 07 November 2023 09:31 PM
Moto Guzzi has redesigned several visual elements of the V85TT, including the 23-liter fuel tank, cylinder head covers, and the mini-trellis frame. The bikes retain their distinctive twin headlight design with a daytime running light in the shape of Moto Guzzi’s eagle motif. I think these design changes maintain the classic look while adding a touch of modernity.
Mileage
Monday, 18 November 2024 11:22 PM
The mileage of the Moto Guzzi V85 TT in India can vary depending on riding conditions, but it generally falls in the range of 20-25 kml. This is respectable for an adventure bike with an 850cc engine. On highway rides, where the engine can settle into a comfortable cruising speed, Ive observed mileage closer to the higher end of this range. However, in city traffic or off-road excursions, the mileage can drop slightly. The large 23-liter fuel tank is a significant advantage, allowing for longer intervals between fuel stops, which is particularly beneficial for long-distance touring.
