Moto Guzzi V85 TT specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 148 sports bikes we have reviewed.
A spec sheet on its own says little. Here every V85 TT figure is set against the average for the 148 sports bikes on this site, so you can see which numbers are ordinary for the class and which ones set it apart.
The 853 cc engine is 317 cc above the class average of 536 cc, 37th of 148. Peak power of 75.1 bhp is 9 bhp above the class average of 66 bhp, 48th of 148. Torque of 82 Nm is 29 Nm above the class average of 53 Nm, 36th of 148. High torque for the class means fewer downshifts in traffic.
Kerb weight is 230 kg, 48 kg above the class average of 182 kg, 138th of 146. Expect that mass to show in traffic and when paddling it backwards, though it also helps stability at speed. Seat height is 828 mm, right on the class average of 813 mm. Riders under 5'7" should sit on one before signing; you may be on tiptoe at signals. Ground clearance is 210 mm, 41 mm above the class average of 169 mm, 11th of 123. Speed breakers and broken village roads will not trouble the underbody, even two-up.
Fuel tank is 23 litres, 8.9 litres above the class average of 14.1 litres, 3rd of 145. At a realistic 20 kmpl that is roughly 465 km between fills. Wheelbase is 1530 mm, 124 mm above the class average of 1406 mm, 6th of 141. A longer wheelbase trades some agility for stability at speed and with a pillion.

Dimensions in practice
The V85 TT weighs 230 kg with fluids, has an 828 mm seat, 210 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1530 mm wheelbase. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
The fuel tank holds 23 litres.
Tyres are 110/80-19 front and 150/70-17 rear.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Traction control
Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Colour TFT console
Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
