In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200, a dual-purpose motorcycle similar to previous models, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without significant modifications.

The Guzzi Stelvio 1200 was introduced in November 2007 at the Milan Motorcycle Show as a 2008 model year and a replacement for the Moto Guzzi Quota. The Stelvio was replaced by the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello.

Stelvio's name comes from the alpine Stelvio Pass, a mountain pass in Northern Italy at the border with Switzerland at an elevation of 2,757 m (9,045 ft).

In the visual department, the 2010 model had installed standard features right from the factory, including a dual headlight system, a large windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system, and ten double-spoke aluminum wheels.

It retained the same suspension system as the previous model, comprising a 50 mm fully adjustable fork on the front, delivering 170 mm of travel, and a single-sided swingarm tied to an adjustable shock on the rear, providing 155 mm of travel.

It also packed the same braking system as the previous model, including two 320 mm discs on the front wheel paired with four-piston calipers and a fixed 282 mm floating disc on the rear tied to a two-piston caliper, providing excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2010 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 had installed a 1,151ccfour-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine at its core, generating 105 hp at 7,500 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 6,400 rpm.
