The GranPasso is one of the models returning to the Morini catalog. Very few changes are to be reported, except one of size: the price. The trail was reduced by more than 1,600 euros, without losing its Ohlins. A good argument in a sector where competition is fiercer than ever. The BMW R 1200 GS continues to dominate the market and serve as a benchmark. A number of typed machines and engines face it. For his part, Morini has chosen a more sporty approach without forgetting the road / trail aspect..
A wide saddle inspiring comfort, long-travel suspensions, tubeless spoked rims fitted with mixed tires, a windshield showing a certain protective disposition, a 25 l tank, an engine spoiler: the Gran Passo seems ready for tourism, and even a little way. The options suitcases, GPS, heated grips, etc … will not make you fear to cut down on the kilometer.
But an Italian is distinguished above all by her temperament. And sportiness and character have not been sidelined on the Morini trail. Its chiseled and aggressive build has nothing of the kindness of a Versys 1000 or a Super-T. The style (from the Marabese Design studio) is very present, daring, even disturbing with its lenticular optics – a matter of taste – and provides the essential: 
get noticed. Its Star Trek posterior decorated with a raised pot with 3 holes also plays with the eyes. Gaffe; the visual is only a prelude to the promised services. The 1200 engine is the same as that fitted to the Corsaro, a spirited roadster and not just a little. At 118 horses, we are already dealing with something serious. The character is more … sassy.
Aside from their travel, the suspensions are more reminiscent of that of a hypersport rather than of a trail: Ohlins shock absorber fixed laterally with adjustment of compression, preload, rebound and height, inverted fork of 50 mm of diameter -> the Italian trail promises to be of leading efficiency. The braking system is wiser, more suited to this type of machine: Brembo with 2 pistons by caliper biting 2 front discs of 298 mm in diameter; but controlled by a radial pump.
The Gran Passo likes blood shots, and won’t really want to ride with the Crosstourer or Tiger Explorer. It will clearly prefer to sinter to Multistrada, 1200 Dorsoduro and 1130 Tre-K.
