Here is the complete press release from Moto Morini…

Irvine, CA (June 9, 2026) — Moto Morini, the iconic Italian motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1937, proudly announces the arrival of the new 2027 X-Cape 1200, a premium adventure motorcycle that sets a new benchmark for performance, technology, comfort, and value in the ADV segment.

Designed in Italy for riders who demand excellence both on and off the pavement, the X-Cape 1200 delivers an exceptional balance of power, agility, style, and versatility. Whether navigating mountain roads, exploring remote trails, or embarking on long-distance journeys, the X-Cape 1200 is engineered to inspire confidence and adventure without compromise.

For 2027, the X-Cape 1200 is available in two striking color options. The new Carrara White features a brilliant white finish accented by contemporary red and black graphics, while the timeless Italia Red showcases bold black, gray, and white graphics that highlight Moto Morini’s unmistakable Italian heritage. Like every Moto Morini motorcycle, the X-Cape 1200 is designed in Milan, Italy, combining sophisticated aesthetics with purposeful functionality.

At the heart of the X-Cape 1200 is Moto Morini’s renowned Corsa Corta EVO 87° V-Twin engine, featuring dual overhead cams and eight valves. Designed and engineered in Italy, the liquid-cooled powerplant delivers an impressive 129 horsepower and 78.2 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm, providing strong, responsive performance across the entire rev range.

Advanced rider technology is standard thanks to a comprehensive suite of premium Bosch electronics centered around a sophisticated 6-axis IMU platform. Riders can select from four riding modes while benefiting from advanced features including cruise control, a bi-directional quick shifter, lean-sensitive traction control, cornering ABS, cornering lights, and blind-spot radar.

The 2027 X-Cape 1200 is built around a robust tubular steel trellis frame with a removable rear subframe and precision-engineered aluminum cast components. A uniquely designed 6.5-gallon fuel tank wraps low around the engine to centralize mass and lower the center of gravity, enhancing handling, stability, and rider confidence across varying terrain. With a manageable 33-inch seat height, 7.5 inches of ground clearance, and a standard center stand, the X-Cape 1200 offers accessibility without sacrificing adventure capability.

Suspension duties are handled by premium KYB components front and rear. Fully adjustable 48mm inverted forks provide 7.1 inches of travel with preload, compression, and rebound adjustment. At the rear, a KYB shock with progressive linkage delivers 7.1 inches of travel and features adjustable compression, rebound damping, and a convenient hand-adjustable preload dial. Combined with a remarkably low 523-pound dry weight, the X-Cape 1200 delivers exceptional control and confidence on virtually any terrain.

The adventure-ready chassis rolls on lightweight tubeless spoked wheels measuring 19 inches in front and 17 inches in the rear, wrapped in premium Pirelli Scorpion Trail III tires. A standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) provides real-time tire pressure information, while Bosch cornering ABS and lean-angle-sensitive traction control maximize safety and performance. For riders venturing off-road, ABS can be disabled to suit individual riding preferences.

Braking performance is equally impressive. A premium Brembo braking system features a GP-style radial master cylinder, steel-braided brake lines, and Brembo monobloc four-piston calipers gripping dual 320mm semi-floating front discs, delivering powerful, precise stopping performance in all riding conditions.

Long-distance comfort remains a priority throughout the X-Cape 1200’s design. Standard equipment includes heated grips, heated rider and passenger seats, and a full complement of modern conveniences. A high-resolution 7-inch TFT display serves as the command center, offering integrated navigation, ride mode selection, TPMS monitoring, USB and USB-C charging ports, and full LED lighting.

With its combination of premium components, advanced technology, exceptional performance, and rider-focused comfort, the new 2027 Moto Morini X-Cape 1200 firmly establishes itself among the elite adventure motorcycles on the market today.

With an MSRP of $12,999, the 2027 Moto Morini X-Cape 1200 is backed by The Best Warranty in Motorcycling, 3-years unlimited-miles, delivering exceptional peace of mind and value.

As a true extension of Moto Morini’s legendary heritage, the 2027 X-Cape 1200 elevates the adventure riding experience with Italian craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and the freedom to explore without limits.
