The new touring motorcycles 2025 (part 2)

MOTO GUZZI

STELVIO DUECENTO TRIBUTO

This special version, with only 2,758 units produced, pays homage to the Alpine Pass it is named after, which was opened to traffic two hundred years ago (1825).
Moto Guzzi tireless traveller in this tribute version features top-range technological equipment, including ABS Cornering, traction control, Quick Shift gearbox, Moto Guzzi Mia multimedia platform, full-led headlights... and greater driving safety, provided by PFF Rider Assistance Solution devices (front radar, following Cruise Control, vehicle detection in blind spots, potential collision detection for lane change manoeuvres).

The number of units produced will be the same as the Pass height above the sea level. Each one of the STELVIO Duecento Tributo has the number etched on the handlebar rider.

KTM

390 Adventure R

A new version of the “390” joins KTM Adventure line.
It will help make the “small” off-road tourism motorcycle segment more and more appealing.
There are many new elements compared to the past. New updates have been made on the trellis frame and on the swingarm, the fairings (now in a rally style), the front 21” and rear 18” wheels (with enduro sizes), and the new configurable TFT dashboard.
The 2025 version also has a Cruise Control feature.
Suspensions can be adjusted with a 230 mm travel. The fork is a WP PRO.
And the motorcycle shares the same platform as the 390 Duke for the liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine.

1390 Super Adventure R, S and S EVO

Super-fast road maxi enduro. The S and S Evo with 19” front and 17” back alloy wheels, and the R with 21” front wheels. This family shares the same engine - the latest 1350 cc LC8 V two-cylinder version, with 173 HP of power and 145 Nm torque. The “S” has standard clutch and gearbox, and a front radar as optional accessory.
The most fully-fitted and technological S EVO features and AMT automatic gearbox (with manual or robotic gearbox). It works alongside the adaptive Cruise Control, also through Bosch front radar sensors. The style is different compared to pre-2025 versions, with new superstructures and components for the S and S EVO, like the front LED headlights, the control units, and the windscreen design, which can still be adjusted with a rotary control.
The frame is stiffer to make driving more stable, along with 8 mm lower and 10 mm wide pedals. The S and EVO feature WP Sat semi-active suspensions. The entire range is equipped with an 8.8” colour touch TFT dashboard, with vertical set-up. If you prefer gravel roads to concrete, then you should opt for the 1390 Super Adventure R with 21” wheels and traditional suspensions.
