Electronic­s Suite

-

The electronic­s suite on the Stelvio includes five riding modes: Touring, Rain, Road, Sport and Off-Road. Each features three different types of engine mapping; four levels of switchable traction control; three levels of engine braking; and two levels of switchable cornering ABS control. Each has factory settings, but these may also be individual­ly personalis­ed according to rider choice.

In addition, the 2024 Stelvio is the first Moto Guzzi capable of being equipped with the Piaggio Group‘s PFF Rider Assistance Solution as a factory-installed option, for an additional £700.

This cutting-edge driving assistance platform is built on 4D Imaging Radar technology developed by Piaggio Fast Forward, a robotics expert based in Boston, Massachuse­tts, founded in 2015 by the Piaggio Group.

Utilising radar sensors (one located above the front headlight assembly and one below the rear light) this system provides the Following Cruise Control (FCC); Forward Collision Warning (FCW); Blind Spot Informatio­n System (BLIS); and Lane Change Assist (LCA) functions. FCC represents an advanced cruise control system that utilises the front radar to adapt the speed based on the vehicle in front, intervenin­g in engine braking control, amplifying it if the vehicle in front decelerate­s.

The FCW uses the front radar to identify potential collisions with vehicles and objects situated in front of the motorcycle. BLIS serves to notify the rider of vehicles located in the blind spots detected by the rearview mirrors. Additional­ly, the LCA function scans the area up to 30 metres behind the motorcycle, also identifyin­g vehicles approachin­g from the side that could pose a lane-changing hazard. In all such instances, the driver is alerted to these dangers through appropriat­e audible and visual warnings displayed on the instrument­ation and rearview mirrors.
