Moto Morini enters the mid-weight ADV scene with the Alltrhike 450 — a twin-cylinder, 21” front-wheeled machine built for serious adventure.
Moto Morini has officially joined the fast-growing 400–450cc adventure motorcycle segment with the launch of the Alltrhike 450 — a twin-cylinder ADV set to hit dealerships in September 2025. First previewed at EICMA 2023, the production model is now finalized and ready to go head-to-head with rivals like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, CFMoto 450MT/Ibex, and the upcoming KTM 390 Adventure R.
The name “Alltrhike” is derived from a combination of “All-Terrain” and “Hike,” intended to evoke images of long-distance travel and rugged exploration. But in the U.S., Moto Morini is expected to market this model under a different name — “Vettore,” which is Italian for “Vector.” VIN documents submitted to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration point to this rebranding strategy, mirroring what CFMoto did with the Ibex/450MT.

How Does the Alltrhike Compare to Its Rivals?
In terms of performance, the Moto Morini Alltrhike 450 delivers 44.8 horsepower and weighs around 419 pounds dry, positioning it close to its main rivals. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, with its 40 hp single-cylinder engine, comes in heavier at approximately 432 pounds wet but offers a simple, rugged build and strong brand loyalty among adventure riders.
Meanwhile, the CFMoto 450MT (also known as the Ibex 450) produces a comparable 44 hp and is significantly lighter at just 386 pounds dry, making it a strong contender thanks to its well-balanced chassis and value-packed pricing. KTM’s new-gen 390 Adventure R is the lightest of the group at around 379 pounds dry and matches the Alltrhike’s power at roughly 44 hp, though it uses a high-revving single-cylinder engine.
While the KTM 390 Adventure R brings advanced off-road tech and aggressive geometry to the table, the Alltrhike may appeal more to riders seeking twin-cylinder smoothness and better long-distance comfort, especially with the option for heated grips and seats on the higher-spec version.
Final Thoughts: Alltrhike or Vettore — A Promising New ADV Challenger
Moto Morini’s Alltrhike 450 doesn’t radically reinvent the adventure genre, but it confidently steps into a competitive segment with a smart mix of performance, comfort, and off-road chops. It offers a true ADV setup with long-travel suspension, 21-inch front wheel, and features like a TFT dash, heated grips, and a center stand.
While the name “Alltrhike” may divide opinions, the bike’s intent is clear: to explore, travel, and tackle trails with ease. If it launches as the Vettore in the U.S., that could give it a cleaner identity in a market where naming does matter.
With more competition on the way — including the rumored BMW F 450 GS — the mid-weight ADV class is quickly becoming one of the most exciting spaces in motorcycling. And Moto Morini, backed by the Zhongneng Vehicle Group, looks ready to claim a piece of it.
