At the heart of the 2008 Moto Guzzi Stelvio sport motorcycle, Moto Guzzi utilizes a 1151 cc (70.2 cu in) twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 108.4 HP (79.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 108 Nm (79.7 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 94.2 HP per liter and a 1,100 rpm working window between peak torque (6,400 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Stelvio measures 214 kg (472 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.51 HP/kg (1.97 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
