Moto Morini, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer that is now under the same umbrella as Benelli, has updated the XCape- its adventure offering for 2025.
The motorcycle now comes with a bigger engine and more features than before along with cosmetic upgrades. For starters, the engine is now bumped up to 693cc from 649cc. Moto Morini has increased the stroke from 60mm to 64mm while the bore remains the same at 83mm. This has resulted in a 10bhp increase in power and is now rated at 69bhp at 8500rpm.
As for features, the Moto Morini XCape comes with full-colour TFT screen, switchable ABS, two charging sockets, hand guards and tubeless tyres. Braking equipment is sourced from Brembo and suspension comes from Marzochhi. It gets 175mm of travel upfront and is adjustable for preload, rebound and compression while the rear KYB offers 165mm of travel. It is good for preload and rebound adjustments.
The brand will be offering two variants- one with spoke wheels and one with alloy wheels. Both gets Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres and are wrapped in a 19/17-inch wheel combo. Now, Moto Morini does not sell in New Zealand and there is no word about it being launched here anytime soon. However, if it does arrive, it will go up against the like of the Honda Transalp and the Suzuki V-Strom 650.
