MOTO GUZZI AND NAPAPIJRI ARE TWO ITALIAN BRANDS UNITED BY VALUES OF FREEDOM, WHICH INSPIRE PEOPLE TO TRAVEL, DISCOVER AND PUSH BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW

Moto Guzzi and Napapijri reimagine the concept of travel and adventure, with a special edition of the Moto Guzzi V85 TT. This project is founded upon the strong values that unite the two brands, such as a love of adventure, travel as a way of life, freedom and, above all else, the authenticity that stems from the history of these two Italian brands.

In 1927, Giuseppe Guzzi reached the Arctic Circle on a Moto Guzzi GT 500, which was subsequently renamed ‘Norge’. And so began Moto Guzzi’s passion for adventure and its fascination with the Far North – the very essence of what the name ‘Napaijri’ evokes.

Thus, two seemingly distant worlds — the metal shaped in Mandello del Lario and the development of fabrics and technical stitching designed to withstand even the harshest polar cold — are linked by a shared instinct: to inspire human beings to push beyond the boundaries of what they already know. A principle that applies just as much to long journeys and the most adventurous expeditions as it does to weekends out on a motorbike.

THE MOTORBIKE THAT SET NEW STANDARDS IN THE TRAVEL ENDURO SEGMENT MEETS NAPAPIJRI’S STYLE

As every motorcycle rider knows, a journey is not a distance to be covered, but an inner horizon: leaving, setting off, is the very purpose of travelling.

The Moto Guzzi V85 TT was created for this very purpose: to break the mould in an increasingly standardised market and restore a sense of authenticity to the motorcycling experience.

The V85 TT is the first and only iconic adventure bike to combine stylistic references to the golden age of motorbike touring with the features and technology of a modern road enduro.

Practical, pared-back and lightweight, the V85 TT is designed to thrill even before you get in the saddle, dedicated to anyone seeking a motorbike that rekindles the spirit of adventure even on everyday rides.

The stylistic elements that set this special edition of the Moto Guzzi V85 TT apart draw on the history of Napapijri, a brand synonymous with ‘Made in Italy’, which combines distinctive design with functionality in technical garments designed for getting out into the fresh air. A genuinely outdoor brand that has redefined the concept of contemporary travel, transforming clothing into a protective shell for every curious soul.

The journey on the Napapijri V85 TT begins long before the Moto Guzzi twin-cylinder engine even fires up, taking shape in the minds of the designers, in the expertise of the engineers at Mandello and the assembly line workers, and in the selection of materials designed to stand the test of time. It is a celebration of craftsmanship, a narrative shared by two brands for whom design is never an end in itself, but a means of experiencing the world.

THE MOTO GUZZI V85TT NAPAPIJRI IS A UNIQUE BIKE, CUSTOMISED WITH LUXURIOUS DETAILS 

The colours of this special edition draw upon those of the famous Napapijri logo and the Norwegian flag: blue and red – thanks in part to the colour scheme of the exposed frame – which contrast with the white of the fuel tank, embellished with graphics inspired by a world map, serving as a reminder that no place is too far away for a Moto Guzzi V85 TT. The front mudguard and the fork guards also elegantly echo the colour scheme. The name ‘NORDKAPP’ and the geographical coordinates of North Cape appear on the mudguard and the fuel tank respectively: a tribute to a place that symbolises motorbike travel and to the mythology of the Far North, which has always been a source of inspiration for Napapijri’s designs.

The Napapijri V85 TT also stands out thanks to its upper handlebar clamp, which features a laser-engraved design combining the logos of the two brands; the graphics draw on the original lettering combined with the coordinates of the North Pole. The height-adjustable windscreen features an engraved five-sided polygon that evokes the shape of the iconic front pocket on the Rainforest windbreaker, one of Napapijri’s signature garments. The same geometric pattern is embroidered on the seat, alternating with the stylised eagle that is the hallmark of every modern Moto Guzzi.

This Special Edition of the V85 TT comes with the iconic Bering Bag, Napapijri’s travel bag made from ‘Pronto Intervento’ cotton – a classic waxed cotton canvas renowned for its exceptional durability and weather resistance.

THE EXCLUSIVE TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE NAPAPIJRI V85 TT ARE A CALL TO HIT THE ROAD

The Moto Guzzi V85 TT Napapijri doesn’t stop where the tarmac ends and the roads turn to dust: the spoked wheels are fitted with treaded tubeless tyres in 17” and 19” sizes, designed to satisfy even the hardiest off-road enthusiasts. The engine is protected by an aluminium skid plate, and the handlebars are fitted with sturdy, protective hand guards. The Napapijri V85 TT comes with a heated seat and heated grips as standard, two essential features for a motorbike designed for travelling in all climates.

The front is characterised by the double circular headlamp, which includes the LED light cluster with the DRL outlining the silhouette of the Moto Guzzi eagle.

The Moto Guzzi V85’s frame, made from high-tensile steel tubing, is a rigid structure that delivers precision and stability on the road, as well as robustness and the right feel when riding off-road.

The V85 is powered by the unmistakable 90° transverse air-cooled V-twin engine, the pride and tradition of Mandello’s eagle brand, which features variable valve timing to optimise valve lift profiles, delivering 90 % of its torque as early as 3,500 rpm: the result is a responsive throttle that delivers superb riding pleasure, both on the road and on light off-road terrain.

The calibration of all electronic parameters – MGCT traction control, ABS and Ride-by-Wire throttle response – can be easily managed via the riding modes: Road, Sport, Offroad and Rain.

The electronics system on the Moto Guzzi V85 TT Napapijri features a six-axis inertial platform which detects the bike’s position relative to the road, thereby managing the Cornering ABS and Cornering Traction Control functions to modulate braking and drive power according to the lean angle. Designed for touring, the V85 TT is also fitted with cruise control to maintain the set speed without the rider having to use the throttle

The windscreen can be manually adjusted to 5 different heights, with a total travel of 70 mm, and the large 5-inch colour TFT display allows the rider to keep an eye on all the journey parameters at all times.

The V85 TT Napapijri comes fitted as standard with the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform, which enables a smartphone to be connected to the instrument panel. Moto Guzzi MIA combines an infotainment system for managing voice assistant, phone calls, and music using intuitive handlebar controls, as well as a navigation feature. With this feature, after setting the destination on your smartphone, you can display directions directly on the instrumentation.

The Moto V85 TT Napapijri marks the latest chapter in the collaboration between the two brands, which was announced last September to coincide with the GMG (Moto Guzzi World Days), and has already led to the creation of a limited-edition capsule collection that embodies the shared values of Moto Guzzi and Napapijri: a minimalist wardrobe of garments designed for everyday wear. Each piece features the co-branded symbol created exclusively for the collaboration, which combines Moto Guzzi’s iconic eagle and Napapijri’s polarised logo into a single design. Pared-back and functional, the capsule collection reflects a shared commitment to authenticity, quality and design that is built to last.
