The Mandello's standout features include fully adjustable Öhlins suspension on the S model, cornering ABS, traction control, four rider modes, and those distinctive adaptive aerodynamic wings that deploy automatically in touring mode.

Starting at $28,200 for the base model and $32,190 for the S variant, the V100 Mandello offers genuine Italian engineering with modern reliability.
