There are motorcycles that break into the market with a very interesting proposal. And it makes a greater impact if it is one of those models that captivate the eye. Today we have a recommendation for a motorcycle that is easy to ride and compact like a Roadster, but comfortable and protective like a Tourer. In this post, in addition to outlining its features, we will tell you if it is possible to lower the height of the Guzzi V100 Mandello motorcycle.
It is a new model of the Italian brand that would fall into the sport-touring category and that did not skimp on technological innovations, one of its main strengths. Contrary to previous reviews, (such as the one of this

which you may also be interested in if you are a fan of the Tourer), there are a couple of technical details that have not yet been disclosed by the manufacturer. But the important part is included below.
Guzzi V100 Mandello 2022 features
It is often said that Guzzi has re-entered the sport touring segment with the V100 Mandello, and no wonder. Its design, although totally new, is inspired by the 1980 and 1990 lines of the same brand. And as already mentioned, it shines for its technological contributions.
In fact, it is the world’s first motorcycle with semi-active aerodynamics, and the first Guzzi model with semi-active suspensions, inertial platform, cornering ABS and Quick Shifter.
It has a V-twin engine of 1,042 cc and 115 hp of maximum power. Its chassis has a tubular steel design and its bodywork boasts neo-retro styling.
The aforementioned adaptive aerodynamic protection system works as follows: depending on the riding speed, the bike is able to reduce the air pressure to the rider by up to 22%.
The technical specifications are rounded off by a state-of-the-art electronics package: 6-axis IMU inertial measurement platform, Marelli 11MP control unit, electronic throttle and 4 riding modes (Travel, Sport, Road and Rain).
At the moment there are no details on weight or final price. But overall, the Guzzi V100 Mandello looks pretty good.
Is it possible to lower the height of the Guzzi V100 Mandello?
The V100 Mandello model was used to celebrate 100 years of the manufacturer’s existence. Design that also recalls the lines of the iconic Le Mans.
However, there are few options for lowering the height in case you are a short rider and the motorcycle fits you tall.
At the moment, there are no discounted seats in the Guzzi store – there are only higher comfort saddle options. Similarly, there are no search results for kits to change the connecting rods or shock absorbers in order to gain a couple of centimeters.
If lowering the height of the Guzzi V100 Mandello is not an option, try Upbikers
So what if there are still no expensive parts to lower the height of the Guzzi V100 Mandello! There’s one accessory that doesn’t require mechanics or out-of-budget purchases: Upbikers.
It is a product designed for bikers who need to gain height and that will help them to get on and off the motorcycle without problems. It will also provide them with greater safety during braking-starting maneuvers, by allowing them to land on the surface with both feet.
Upbikers guarantees 4 more centimeters at the tip of your feet and is placed underneath your shoes. And it goes with everything: sneakers, shoes, boots – well almost everything, in case you are already thinking about sandals.
