Now compatible with the Euro 4 emissions standard. Available for 18.668 euros, 300 fewer than 1400 California Custom.

These are the most important highlights of the Moto Guzzi Audace:

Simple round lighthouse.
Mudguards in carbon fiber.
Fork without protective elements.
Metal radiator grille.
Trim megaphone type exhaust.
Lighter side panels.
Footpegs revised, smaller and forward into position.
Lower, seat upholstered in skai and with red stitching.
Handlebar drag type.
Smaller mirrors.
Specific rims with painted with logos ‘Moto Guzzi’ fences.
Lapped valve covers.

The combination of the new handlebar, the position of the footpegs and seat height allow a more dominant driving position, together with the reduction of weight and the sportier exhaust makes it in the fastest of the lot. Therefore the map of ‘Veloce’ power and traction control will enter more performance if this is your choice.
