Moto Morini introduced the new mid-weight Camel adventure motorcycle at EICMA 2026. The bike uses a new 670cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine developed in-house, with A2-compliant versions planned for the European market.
Why it matters
The Camel name returns to the fast-growing middleweight adventure segment, shifting from the original's dual-sport roots toward an adventure-touring character. Its technical specifications and pricing will determine how it competes with rival models.
The 670cc parallel-twin produces 82 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 52 lb-ft of torque at 8,500 rpm, paired with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. The bike has a 441-pound dry weight and 11 inches of ground clearance.
The players
Moto Morini
Moto Morini is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer known for its middleweight and adventure-oriented motorcycles.
The details
The Camel features a chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame, a fully adjustable 48mm USD fork, and a progressive pro-link monoshock, each with 9.84 inches of wheel travel. Brembo supplies braking with dual floating calipers on 300mm front discs, and electronics include ride modes, adjustable traction control, switchable ABS, and cruise control.
Timeline
The original Moto Morini Camel was produced and raced at the Paris-Dakar Rally in the 1980s.
The new Camel was introduced at EICMA 2026.
The 2027 Moto Morini Camel model year follows.
Roadmap
The new Camel brings back a name Moto Morini last used on its 1980s Paris-Dakar competitor, now repositioned for the adventure-touring segment rather than off-road racing. The move places the brand against established middleweight adventure models that dominate current motorcycle sales.
Buyers in markets without A2-compliant options will need to watch for US or other regional pricing, since the current X-Cape lineup starts at $6,499 MSRP and a similar price is possible. The 33.46-inch seat height and 11 inches of ground clearance will matter for riders considering the bike for mixed on- and off-road use.
The takeaway
The Camel shows Moto Morini targeting riders who want capable adventure-touring performance in a mid-weight package, a segment where specifications like power, weight, and suspension travel drive buying decisions.
