V9 BOBBER: MOTO GUZZI HAS CREATED A NEW SEGMENT The name V9 Bobber evokes concepts such as essentiality of line, purity of design and thus a certain original sportiness, underlined by a total matte black look. Moto Guzzi's custom sports bike effectively creates the mid-size bobber series segment, in which the V9 is currently the only representative. Bobbers appeared in the United States after World War II, created by passionate riders who stripped away all details superfluous to their goal of running fast on dirt tracks. To compete in these conditions the riders used to mount oversized tires, giving the bikes a wide footprint. Following this style, the V9 Bobber abandons all chrome plating and glossy finishes for matte black details. The side panels and fuel tank are black, with just a few graphic details in yellow or matt red. The exhaust unit, mirrors and both metal fenders are painted in dark matt. The fenders have been carefully shortened and reduced in size to make a big contribution to the minimal look of the V9 Bobber. The 16-inch matt black rims are finely decorated with a grey Moto Guzzi logo and fit larger tires 130/90 front, 150/80 rear). Even with these spectacular tires and its distinctive design, the bike still provides exceptional riding pleasure and handling. Indeed, the V9 Bobber is a true Moto Guzzi, and as such does not trade rideability for beauty. The V9 Bobber also differs from the V9 Roamer with its more crouched and sporty riding position, due to the low drag bar painted black and the long saddle. The saddle height is only 30.3 in (770 mm), and if you add to this the exceptionally low curb weight of 438 lbs. (199 Kg), you can easily imagine the level of comfort, control and rider pleasure offered by the V9 Bobber. The V9 Roamer and the V9 Bobber have a new power unit, as usual built at the Moto Guzzi plant in Mandello del Largo. This is of course a 90° transverse V-twin air and oil cooled engine, a set-up used in all current Moto Guzzi engines, albeit with different engine capacities and performance, which provides excellent riding dynamics and a unique sound. It was developed with the explicit aim of maximizing torque and elasticity, key aspects for ensuring riding pleasure and on road fun. Starting from the bottom of the engine, the new aluminum crankcase stiffened at the key points, has a new oil pan and an inertia calibrated crankshaft for liveliness and the correct engine braking. Inside the lubrication system is designed to dispose of the greater heat capacity and reduce power absorption to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. The ventilation system reduces power loss due to pumping within the crank chambers and a new low flow oil pump that absorbs less power.
