Morbidelli reveals new C652V cruiser

Morbidelli is expanding its cruiser range in 2026 with the addition of a new middleweight model named C652V. 

The new cruiser is set to land in Europe during the early months of 2026, and at the heart of it is a 650cc, liquid-cooled V-twin engine that produces a claimed 55bhp at 7,500rpm and 45.7 Ib-ft of torque at 6,000rpm.

The C652V will slot into the company’s growing cruiser range behind the C1000V, which delivers 85.8bhp at 7,200rpm and 65.6 Ib-ft of torque thanks to its larger 997cc V-twin power unit.

The C652V’s engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, while its aluminium double-cradle frame boasts a 1645mm wheelbase and a seat height of 710mm.

The suspension setup comprises 43mm upside-down forks with 138mm of travel at the front, while the rear gets a Pro-link monoshock system with 48mm of travel.

Stopping power comes in the form of dual 300mm discs with two-piston calipers at the front, while the rear’s 240mm disc is paired to a single-piston calliper. The entire system is managed by dual-channel ABS. 

Traction control comes as standard, while the C652V also gets two riding modes including Economic and Sport. Morbidelli says the former “offers a balanced setup for daily riding with TCS active”, whereas sport mode “provides sharper throttle response and allows manual TCS deactivation for more spirited riding”.

The new C652V gets full LED lighting, a detachable passenger seat to offer up a more bobber-inspired look, a Type-A USB charging port and an 18.5-litre fuel tank.
