Moto Morini X-Cape 700 2025: A More Eco-Friendly and Powerful Adventure Bike with Euro5+ Compliance!
Adventure bikes strike the perfect balance between a street bike and a true off-road adventure motorcycle. This year, Moto Morini is stepping up the game with their latest model, the X-Cape 700. Say goodbye to the 650 series and welcome a more robust engine that promises a thrilling ride. More power, a design that stays true to its roots with some great updates, and rugged features make it a dream for riders seeking adventure and versatility. So, is the X-Cape 700 the perfect ride for those with an A2 license itching for excitement? Let’s dive in!
An Exciting Boost in Engine Size
Moto Morini has raised the bar for 2025. Leaving the X-Cape 650 behind, they’ve introduced the X-Cape 700, and it’s a noticeable upgrade in riding experience. The previous 649 cc parallel-twin engine has been bumped up to 693 cc. This 4 mm increase in piston stroke breathes new life into this beast. The result? The power climbs to 71 horsepower (from the previous 60), and the torque reaches 68 Nm. In short, it offers more flexibility and responsiveness, especially at low revs. This is exactly what riders are after: a motorcycle that reacts to every throttle input and conquers roads or trails with ease.
A Design That’s Fresh Yet Familiar
The X-Cape 700 doesn’t completely overhaul its aesthetic; it retains its dynamic flair and signature lines. However, it does sport some clever tweaks: a refreshed front end, modernized engine covers, and a subtly altered rear frame. The exhaust now sports a more prominent design, making its presence known. For comfort-loving travelers, the windscreen has been revamped to offer better wind protection. Undoubtedly, this beast is as stylish as it is practical. It’s equipped with a 7-inch TFT screen with connectivity and navigation, full LED lighting for nighttime visibility, dual USB ports (types A and C), and a disconnectable Bosch 9.1 Mb ABS for safer rides.
Practicality and Performance in the Chassis
Regarding the chassis, Moto Morini has kept what works best. The steel frame and aluminum swingarm remain unchanged, but modern additions elevate its performance. Notably, there’s an adjustable Marzocchi inverted fork (50 mm travel, 175 mm fork travel) and an adjustable Kayaba shock (with 165 mm travel). As for brakes, it features robust dual Brembo discs (298 mm front, 255 mm rear). It’s simple yet effective! For the tires, it rocks Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR—perfect for seamless transitions between road and off-road adventures. Whether cruising on asphalt or tackling rugged mountain paths, the X-Cape 700 is equipped to handle it all.
