Moto Guzzi Audace (2017)

Moto Guzzi Audace (2017)

The Moto Guzzi Audace is a stunning example of Italian design and engineering, boasting a lighter, more aggressive front end with a circular headlight unit and exposed carbon mudguard. The muscular character of this bike is further enhanced by the oil cooler air-scoop, metallic radiator grill, and sleek total-black exhaust system.

Every mechanical detail and exposed metallic part has been blacked-out, giving the Audace a menacing appearance. The sportier footpegs and classic gear shifter pedal create a longer and more dominating riding position, while the lowered saddle and drag handlebar add to the bike’s aggressive stance.

The heart of the Audace is its powerful 90 V-twin 1400cc engine, renowned for its generosity and explosive power. With its new exhaust system, the engine is even more lively at high revs, making the Audace a thrilling ride for those who crave speed and agility. The result is a motorcycle that is poised to unleash its fury on the asphalt, leaving a lasting impression on all who ride it. The Moto Guzzi Audace is a true beast of the road, ready to unleash its full potential at every turn.
