2026 Moto Guzzi V85 Strada

The V85 Strada is the road-oriented interpretation of the V85 platform: upright, agile, and clearly designed for asphalt. The air-cooled 90° V-twin delivers smooth throttle response, strong midrange pull, and suits relaxed yet brisk touring speeds. With its 19-inch front wheel, it turns in neutrally, remains stable in fast corners, and feels composed overall. The shaft drive ensures low maintenance, while braking performance is clear and well modulated.

Direct competitors include the Yamaha Tracer 7, Triumph Tiger Sport 660, and BMW F 900 XR. The Yamaha is lighter and more lively but less of an “adventure classic.” The Triumph is more sport-oriented and agile but lacks shaft drive. The BMW is faster and more technical but more expensive.

Within the V85 lineup, the Strada is clearly more road-focused than the TT and TT Travel.
