At EICMA 2026 in Milan, ABC Mundial explored Moto Guzzi’s latest developments with Diego Arioli, Head of Product Marketing for Motorcycles and Accessories at the Piaggio Group. One of the key highlights is The Trip, a next-generation 500cc roadster designed to introduce the brand to a younger audience.

The motorcycle combines contemporary styling with a concept aimed at everyday riding and longer road journeys. Its engine delivers nearly 48 hp and 43.5 Nm of torque, with a 35 kW version compatible with the A2 licence. Features include Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle, three riding modes and a 3.6-inch TFT display.

The launch comes at a time of transformation for the historic Italian brand. In September, Moto Guzzi inaugurated its renewed facilities in Mandello del Lario, strengthening the connection between its industrial heritage and its future development.

The Trip also represents a technical change: it is powered by a new parallel-twin engine, rather than the transverse V-twin layout traditionally associated with much of Moto Guzzi’s history. Its market launch is expected in early 2027.
