In their ever increasing way to make it tougher to get new info, they've put a new V85TT Focused ADV Gear Press Release behind a passworded entry, so I’ve posted it below to make it easier, along with pics. The helmet is made by Just1, and the jacket is for sure Spidi (which we are a dealer for here at GTM). Enjoy.
The Adventure Outfit
Let’s begin with the Jacket, a 3-layer modular garment with a thermal insulation layer on the inside and a waterproof H2Out layer on the outside to cope with the demands of riding in any season and in all weather conditions. The exterior of the jacket is made from a very strong yet soft high-tech fabric, with an ample range of adjustment around the neckline, sleeves and waistline and elasticised sleeve inserts for ease of movement.
Shoulder and elbow pads come as standard features and the jacket can also be equipped with back and chest guards to protect your ribs (optional extras).
While creating the Adventure outfit, my team and I tried to combine practicality and style by using a number of the riding gear’s functional elements to add some custom Moto Guzzi touches. On the internal netting sections of the jacket’s large front air-vents you’ll spot the technical drawing of the 1967 model Moto Guzzi Twin, whereas logos of an Eagle and a stylised-Twin, in the same shade of red as the V85 TT’s frame, have been added to the reflective inserts, thus adding an aesthetic aspect to that of safety.
To complete the package, both the trousers and the jacket are certificated as complying with European standards.
The Helmet
The helmet is in fact an all-time first for Moto Guzzi in that it’s the first full-face adventure tourer helmet on offer in the genuine Eagle clothing and accessories catalogue.
It’s manufactured from high-strength ABS and is fitted with a removable lining and a quick-release removal system. This helmet is designed for long distance riding and rider comfort at all times and in any situation, so we opted to go with a helmet equipped with an enduro-style, rigid mini-visor in addition to the traditional transparent visor and a retractable internal mini sun-visor. Finally, aerodynamics and lightness, both of which are essential features for this type of helmet and hint at the bike’s more sporty side, complete the identikit.
The helmet will be available in two different colour schemes, either white with black, yellow and red detailing (reminiscent of V85 TT’s Dakar-inspired livery), or black with red detailing.
The colours of the helmet’s detailing and lining pick up the same shade of red as the bike itself and the various items of high-tech gear, so as to ensure impeccable stylistic consistency.
The most interesting part of my job is to increase Moto Guzzi’s product range, which is certainly not just limited to the bikes. To do this you need to put yourself in the shoes of real Guzzi riders so as to understand exactly how they are likely to use each and every one of the individual models and under all likely conditions. So I imagined myself wearing the Adventure Collection while riding a V85 TT on a long-distance trip all the way to that strip of land that the road cannot reach.
What do I think of the V85 TT, you ask? Well, I think it’s set to become the new point of reference in the all-purpose bike sector for bikes that suit all needs. It’s a bike with a very distinctive “Made in Mandello del Lario” spirit and one that will be equally at ease anywhere around the world. Needless to say, I can’t wait for the launch so that I can take her out for my first spin.
