2015 Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE

Features

• This description could just as well be applied to the new Rosso Griso 8V SE, the most exciting and spirited of all Moto Guzzi models, designed to create a new, more intense concept of sports riding based on sheer power and four-valve cylinder technology. Designed to respect a tradition that has lasted forty years, the new engine adopts the rational 90 degree transverse V-twin layout but with 563 new parts, and introduces for the first time a single overhead cam valve timing and silent running Morse chains to operate the four valves per cylinder. 75 percent of this highly developed Moto Guzzi 1,200 cubic centimeter engine has been modified compared to its predecessor, to produce 110 horsepower at only 7,500 rpm and a maximum foot-pounds of 80 foot-pounds at 6,400 rpm.
• The Griso 8V SE is an instinctive creation, pure, solid and distinctive and in many ways a work of art. The design details are discreet but elegant and pure quality; the lines blend together and are accentuated by the chrome finishing and satin metal form. The fuel tank lends itself superbly to the strong frame creating an aerodynamic teardrop body which is continued through to the tail which houses three high intensity LED light units.
• The Griso is decidedly masculine and powerful yet the “Quattrovalvole” engine seems to be set like a jewel in a frame that shows off its revolutionary design to the utmost effect. Returning to its performance, it becomes obvious that the sophisticated components are not mere technical details included for the sake of style but enhance performance and provide guaranteed reactivity.
