Moto Morini is moving into the blossoming Euro-style 450 enduro market with the new Vettore. Before we get started on its features, it’s worth noting that the Vettore has an approachable MSRP of $6499. Also, in case you’re wondering, Vettore translates to “Vector” in English. So, with that information, let’s take a closer look at the 2026 Moto Morini Vettore 450.
- The 2026 Moto Morini Vettore 450 has a twin-cylinder motor. The DOHC short-stroke powerplant has a 270-degree firing order and likes to rev. It puts out 45 horsepower at 8500 rpm, with torque peaking at 6500 rpm, delivering 31 lb-ft of pulling power. The six-speed transmission is matched to a slipper-clutch with no assist action. A 93 mph top speed is touted.
- There’s a fairly sophisticated electronics package, including a six-inch TFT display. Although there’s only one power mode, the Vettore allows adjustments for off-roading. Traction control is defeatable, and ABS can be set to front-wheel-only. The dash has a street mode, where the speed and gear position are most prominent. Switch to Alltrhike mode for off-road use, where a broader range of information is available on the display. The dash can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone for the usual array of interconnectivity, including navigation via the Carbit Ride app. USB-A and USB-C ports offer flexibility in charging.
- A 21-/18-inch wire-spoke wheelset speaks to off-road riders, allowing for a broad range of tire options. The CST Ambro A4 radial tires are tubeless, facilitating quick road- or trail-side puncture repair. A centerstand makes tire fixes easier, along with other duties, such as chain and spoke maintenance.
- Brembo-owned J.Juan takes care of the braking duties, with help from Bosch. The 320mm front disc is grasped by a radially mounted four-piston caliper. In the back, a 255mm disc is worked on by a two-piston caliper. Bosch 9.1MB ABS has an off-road mode that gives the rider full control over rear-wheel braking.
- Almost fully adjustable KYB suspension is employed on the 2026 Moto Morini Vettore 450. The 41mm inverted fork is fully adjustable, with 8.2 inches of travel. The shock benefits from linkage and only lacks adjustability for compression damping.
- A 33.1-inch seat height welcomes riders. The handlebars are six-position adjustable for ergonomic fine-tuning, and a lower-bar is available. The windscreen is also adjustable. Hand guards are standard, as is LED lighting, a luggage rack, and grab handles for the passenger.
- The fuel tank holds nearly five gallons. We don’t have any fuel consumption numbers, but we would be shocked if you can’t get 200 miles out of a tank between stops for high-test. Strap mounts on the tank enhance the Vettore’s travel capabilities.
- The accessory list for the Vettore 450 indicates that the boutique brand expects riders to tour on it. In addition to hard, waterproof side cases and a top box, Motor Morini is offering heated grips, a heated seat, and a larger windscreen. Off-roaders will look into the aluminum skid plate.
- You should be able to get the 2026 Moto Morini Vettore 450 at your local dealer right now. The bike comes with a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, which demonstrates confidence in its reliability. The white/gray colorway looks to be the only choice.
