Nearly a century ago, Giuseppe Guzzi rode a Moto Guzzi GT 500 to the Arctic Circle, laying the roots for the Italian brand’s reputation for adventure. Now, that same spirit has brought Moto Guzzi together with fellow Italian brand Napapijri, known for its outdoor clothing and fascination with the Far North. The partnership kicked off in September with a limited-edition apparel collection, followed by a special V85 TT adventure bike unveiled at EICMA 2026. The retro-inspired motorcycle gets a white, red and blue makeover, North Cape coordinates, embroidered seat detailing and a matching travel bag. It’s a clean look and the map on the gas tank is a nice touch. Underneath, it’s still the familiar 80-hp V85 TT. We first covered the V85 back in 2017 as a 1980s-inspired adventure bike. Nearly a decade later, it’s getting a fresh personality courtesy of two Italian brands that know a thing or two about adventure and style.
