The Bellagio embodies the deep sense of belonging that ties Moto Guzzi to the local area around the Mandello del Lario factory. The imposing beauty of the Lario district inevitably influences the ideas and creativity of the men who live and work there, guiding their hand in every aspect of design and engineering, in the direction of a natural aesthetic balance. This link between style and environment emerges clearly from the Moto Guzzi Bellagio, a bike that identifies the free spirit of contemporary motorcycling as interpreted in one of the world’s most beautiful places. Individuality and fashion find expression in the Bellagio’s sober yet elegant looks, creating complete harmony between advanced technology and the latest innovative design solutions. The CA.R.C. (cardano reattivo compatto – compact reactive shaft drive) final drive system is a perfect example. The CA.R.C shaft drive that converts the output of the new 940 cc engine into muscular yet silky smooth traction forms part of a chassis that represents the latest evolution of the most dynamic Moto Guzzi nakeds. Further proof of the perfect balance between technology and style is provided by the rising rate rear suspension, powerful braking system based on Brembo floating calipers and 320 mm discs, and fully adjustable rear monoshock and front fork. The Bellagio therefore embodies all the temperament of a naked in a stylistic identity that is unequivocally custom. Spoked wheels, drag bar and rear-set footrests are further details of a style that concentrates weight over the rear wheel, creating a clear impression that this bike really does stick to the road, ready to perform feats of blistering acceleration. And the new 940 cc engine generates the power to do precisely that. The Bellagio engine is full of character but free from vibration, and delivers the sort of torque needed to guarantee a smooth but muscular response right from the lowest revs, enhanced by the legendary Guzzi sound produced by a cleverly designed exhaust system with evocative twinned silencers.
