THE EAGLE WITH AN APPETITE FOR ADVENTURE...
An appetite for adventure - The Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX represents Italian style, engineering excellence and riding pleasure, and is perfect for riders with an appetite for adventure.
Named after the famous Alpine pass that connects Valtelline Valley to Vinschgau
Valley with 84 amazing s-bends between them, Stelvio has launched Moto Guzzi
back among the stars of the maxi enduro world. A highly appreciated bike that
has now reached a coming of age at a technical-functional level, thanks to
the updates and final tweaking undergone by the new 1200 8V and NTX.
It all starts with style, now even more attractive and trendy rounding off
the fuel tank by integrating it within the lightweight fairing, which now
highlights a clearly smooth streamlined effect which flows into the double
front headlight assembly. The latter feature is a distinctive element of the
Stelvio design, and the only detail inherited from the previous version. The
top fairing, windshield and the half-fairing with integrated turn indicators
are all brand new elements that combine to give the front-end of the Stelvio
8V a cutting-edge, more aggressive and dynamic look. It has an original design,
but it is above all more functional and versatile, features that are of uppermost
importance on models of this type. From an objective standpoint, the style
of the new surfaces emphasises two fundamental project milestones compared
to the previous version: more efficient aerodynamic protection, thanks to
the new top fairing and practically twice fold range capacity thanks to the
outstanding new fuel tank with a 32 litre record capacity.
This new Stelvio bike has an air of complete renovation about it, fine examples
being the cockpit with brand new graphs on the on-board control panel, a new
increased scale fuel indicator.
The heart that beats inside this touring bike is the renowned V-shaped 90°
transverse twin-cylinder "Four valve" engine, the highest performer
among all the families of engines manufactured at Mandello del Lario, which
has now reached exclusive levels as far as its technical/performance development
is concerned.
This latest version can boast the careful attention paid to achieve a more
silent and smooth running of the engine, whilst tweaking the electronic control,
timing system and cooling system. The brand new integrated ignition and injection
ECU now exploits the signals sent by the two lambda probes to guarantee adequate
feeding throughout the entire combustion cycle, improving response to the
throttle control, low-to-mid-range power delivery further to consumptions
and emissions. The ECU also includes the ATC system to prevent sliding: this
system controls ignition advance and injection to cut torque delivery whenever
a sudden loss of grip is detected so as to help the rider to remain in control
under extreme, unexpected conditions. The system can be deactivated, just
like ABS.
The engine now boasts a maximum torque of over 113 Nm delivered at a mere
5,800 rpm and easily reaches a peak in output of over 105 HP; it practically
reaches an automobile-level speed of 7,250 rpm.
The NTX is the more “adventurous” version of the Stelvio, and now
has all the technical features of the base version, plus some exceptional
new fixtures, i.e. the sturdy "armour" that embraces it and comprises
the oil sump guard, engine guard, cylinder guard, full cover hand-guards and
extra large windshield with additional wind deflectors to protect the rider
and his bike against the hidden dangers throughout his trip.
A bike dedicated to long haul travellers naturally needs luggage space, hence
the spacious aluminium panniers and additional halogen lights. Even more luxury
options are available on the accessory catalogue including a GPS navigator
installation kit, heated hand-grips, CA.RC protection (Compact Reactive Cardan
Shaft Drive), aluminium top box for the NTX or side wind deflectors, extra
large windshield, dedicated body coloured plastic polymer panniers and top
box kit for the 1200 8V version.
The new Stelvios are available in Guzzi Black, Moon White and Sienna colour
schemes, while the NTX will flaunt a brand new colour concept on a black satin
finish base (Lava Black).

2013 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 NTX Features and Benefits
COMFORT:
Unstoppable long-time tourers.
Stelvio 1200 8V and NTX are great tourers that can also be used off-road,
and with excellent performance on asphalt. These characteristics emerge immediately
once you are seated on the bike, where the perception of carefully-designed
ergonomics can be felt straightaway: saddle, footrests and handlebar form
a perfect triangle for all users. Moreover, for the perfectionists, there
is still room for minor adjustments: windshield, saddle height (820 or 840
mm), handlebar inclination, levers, pedals, as well as race-style adjusters
for hydraulic compression/rebound damping. In a few seconds, everything is
at the right place to face any challenge, from city traffic to the most inaccessible
off-road paths. In motion, reduced vibration and the efficient aerodynamic
protection offered by the new top fairing and windshield and original side
wind deflectors (dedicated for NTX) ensure riding comfort for rider and passenger
as well, ideal to tackle long trips.
Major improvements are also found in the controls, with a new dashboard including
a 12V power outlet, a new fuse box compartment, cockpit and instrument panel
with new rpm indicator graphics and a dash display with six-mark fuel indicator
that integrates with on-board computer functions such as average and current
consumption, average speed, trip time, maximum speed peak reached and diagnostics.
The display also lets you control hand grip heating (option) and activate
the ATC system, fitted as standard on both models.
CHASSIS, SUSPENSION AND BRAKES
Designed for non conventional paths.
You should not be mislead by its luxury off-road appearance: the Stelvio 1200
8V and NTX feature driving effectiveness superior to the average of many road
motorcycles, since they are equipped for the unexpected and able to withstand
any off-road driving strains.
The secret is the new upper twin spar frame, made of high-strength steel,
with 2.5mm thick directional tubes, where the engine is anchored through six
connecting points, two more than in usual frames, which give high rigidity
to the assembly at twisting moments.
Chassis positions have been defined to facilitate handling, a headstock with
a 27° inclination for a 125mm trail, improved by a 1535-mm wheelbase which
guarantees impeccable steering precision.
High quality suspension whose adjustable preload and hydraulic response during
compression and rebound combine to ensure instant, smooth response to pressure
on the handlebar. The front end is controlled by a new upside-down Marzocchi
fork, with 45mm stanchions and 170mm travel, whereas at the rear, suspension
kinematic mechanisms with progressive rising rate are moved by a Sachs unit
that works on a 155mm stroke.
The refinement of the suspension department guarantees a neutral setting at
all times. When going out of a bend, and the action of the 105 horsepower
generated by the new “Quattrovalvole” engine is requested, or when
braking, under the quick deceleration generated by the three-disc Brembo braking
system supported by the deactivatable Continental ABS, fitted as standard
on NTX and Stelvio 1200 8V. Both sport a new couple of 320mm front brake discs
with a new holder flange, while retaining a 282mm brake disc at the rear.
Innovation also for the wheels which boast a cutting-edge designed set of
light alloy rims with 150/70-17 rear tyre, new on the 1200 8V version, previously
exclusively mounted on the NTX, which comes standard with tubeless spoked
wheels (patented Alpina STS system).
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION.
The “Quattrovalvole” evolution continues.
The Stelvio 1200 8V and NTX boast the latest evolution of the "Quattrovalvole"
engine”, introduced in 2006 and universally acknowledged as the most
advanced version of the V-shaped 90° transverse twin-cylinder.
This highly sophisticated mechanical gem, which is unique in terms of both
architecture and engineering clarity, is built using advanced componentry
and technical solutions. Worth mentioning are the raised cam profile single
camshaft timing system driven by silent "Morse" type chains”
with hydraulic chain tensioners, the forged pistons with three rings cooled
by oil jets in the crankcase, the ultra-light valves in special alloy steel
with 5mm stems, and the conical valve springs that eliminate resonance and
power loss at high engine speeds. Lubrication and cooling are ensured by two
coaxial pumps that circulate lubricant through a separate duct in the head
up to the exhaust valve seats, where the highest temperatures develop. The
cylinders feature an extremely modern design, with the cooling fins tapered
toward the front of the cylinders, while the valve covers - which proudly
flaunt the “Quattrovalvole” moniker - feature a floating mounting
system to reduce mechanical noise.
As far as the fuel system goes, the "Quattrovalvole" engine premiers
the new Marelli IWP 189 injectors located on the intake ducts of the sizeable
50mm throttle bodies, whereas the brand new integrated ignition and injection
ECU now exploits the signals sent by the two lambda probes to guarantee adequate
fuel metering throughout the entire combustion cycle, improving response to
the throttle control, mid range power delivery further to consumptions and
emissions. In terms of electronic components, the new Stelvio 1200 8V and
NTX debut the ATC system to prevent sliding, an invaluable help in keeping
out of trouble in poor grip conditions.
The gearbox is a genuine six speed mechanical gem that excels for quietness,
an easily selectable neutral position and precision, thanks also to the quiet
and smooth single plate clutch.
