Designed to make the Moto Guzzi world accessible to a new generation of riders while giving experienced motorcyclists a fresh reason to ride, The Trip 500 represents an important new chapter for the iconic Italian motorcycle manufacturer.

Easy, Light and Fun to Ride
The headline numbers behind the new Moto Guzzi roadster.
A 457cc Twin With Real Character
At the heart of The Trip 500 is a liquid-cooled 457cc parallel-twin engine developed around an engaging balance of accessible performance and everyday usability.
Producing a claimed 47.5 horsepower at 9,400 rpm and 32.1 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm, this compact engine is designed to deliver responsive acceleration and an enjoyable riding experience for both newer riders and experienced motorcyclists.
A Different Kind of Twin
The 270-degree crankshaft creates an uneven firing character intended to deliver a sound and feel reminiscent of a traditional 90-degree V-twin, giving The Trip 500 a personality of its own.
Responsive Where It Matters
Torque-focused delivery and gearing tuned for city responsiveness are designed to make everyday traffic manageable while keeping the ride engaging when the road opens up.
Ride-by-wire throttle control and three selectable riding modes allow riders to tailor the motorcycle's response to their preferences and the conditions.
- Road: Progressive throttle response for everyday riding.
- Sport: A more dynamic throttle response for favourite roads.
- Rain: Softer throttle response for wet or slippery conditions.
Style That Doesn't Need to Shout
Clean proportions, muscular lines and carefully considered details.
The Trip 500 introduces a fresh design direction for Moto Guzzi. Rather than relying on excessive styling or unnecessary visual complexity, it embraces a purposeful, minimalist approach where every major element contributes to its distinctive roadster appearance.
Signature Eagle Lighting
The round full-LED headlight incorporates Moto Guzzi's iconic eagle signature in its daytime running light, bringing a recognisable brand identity into a thoroughly modern lighting design.
Sculpted Metal Fuel Tank
The sculpted metal tank gives The Trip 500 strong roadster proportions and a premium appearance, with approximately 4.0 US gallons (15 litres) of fuel capacity.
Muscular Roadster Proportions
The black-finished parallel-twin engine, compact rear section and integrated lighting create a cohesive, contemporary look from every angle.
Premium Finishing Touches
An embroidered The Trip seat logo, eagle-signature grips and anodized accents on the rear shock and exhaust tip add personality without cluttering the design.
Confidence Through Agility
A great everyday motorcycle should feel approachable before you even start the engine. The Trip 500 is designed around compact dimensions, an upright riding position and a chassis focused on agility and control.
With a claimed wet weight of approximately 397 lb (180 kg) and a seat height of 31.1 inches (790 mm), it aims to balance road presence with manageable proportions. Its upright ergonomics are designed to provide a natural riding position and comfortable control around town.
Built Around the Ride
- Dedicated trellis frame: A compact Moto Guzzi chassis designed for responsive handling.
- Upside-down front fork: Preload-adjustable suspension.
- Side-mounted rear shock: Preload adjustment for setup flexibility.
- Front braking: 12.6-inch disc with radial caliper.
- Rear braking: 8.7-inch disc.
- Rider assistance: ABS and traction control.
The combination of compact proportions, rider assistance systems and adjustable suspension is intended to support a confident, controlled ride on urban streets and flowing backroads alike.
Classic Inspiration. Modern Technology.
The Trip 500 combines contemporary rider technology with design details that feel right at home on a classic-inspired roadster.
A Round TFT Display With Smartphone Connectivity
The round 3.6-inch bonded TFT display complements the motorcycle's traditional roadster styling while providing a modern digital interface. Smartphone connectivity supports call information and turn-by-turn navigation, with a navigation licence available as an in-app purchase.
- Full LED lighting with eagle-signature daytime running light.
- Ride-by-wire throttle control.
- Three riding modes: Road, Sport and Rain.
- ABS and traction control.
- Smartphone connectivity and navigation support.
- Backlit handlebar switchgear.

The result is a motorcycle that respects the simplicity of the roadster formula while embracing the features modern riders increasingly expect.
