Piaggio India has launched the 2021 Moto Guzzi V85 TT in India, and has priced it at Rs. 15.40 lakh (Ex-showroom), an almost Rs. 3 lakh increase over the previous generation model. The new Moto Guzzi V85 TT meets the latest emission regulations, and also gets minor updates. The 853 cc, air-cooled, transverse, 90-degree v-twin engine remains the same, but with tightening emission regulations, it has seen a minor reduction in peak power output. The Moto Guzzi V85TT is a middleweight adventure bike, and will compete in the same space as the Triumph Tiger 900.
