Sports Tourer

The new Breva incorporates all the versatility and easy riding character of Moto Guzzi's touring models to date, with the addition of refined looks, the latest digital technology, and a unique reactive shaft drive system.

Breva V1200 Reactive Shaft Drive

The most significant technical innovation in the Breva V1200 is reactive shaft drive, patented by the Moto Guzzi under the name ‘CA.R.C.’ (‘Cardano Reattivo Compatto’ - Compact Reactive Shaft Drive).

In brief:

• The patented drive shaft is incorporated inside the aluminium alloy swing arm.
• The pinion gear and the drive shaft are free to oscillate inside the swing arm.
• The drive shaft is equipped with two universal joints with built-in torsional dampers for optimum transmission response.

The main benefit of this original and extremely compact drive system is the elimination of the counter-shaft effect typical of conventional shaft drives. Unlike alternative systems, Moto Guzzi’s patented reactive shaft drive enables a single piece swing arm to be used. Because the reaction shaft is not load-bearing, it is perfectly reliable in operation. The new system ensures a consistently smooth ride, without the jerks on acceleration or deceleration that are inevitable with conventional shaft drives.

The new system maintains all the other advantages of shaft drive including cleanliness, low noise levels and very low maintenance.
