C252V: The V-Twin Made for the Modern City
Dec 1, 2025
The Morbidelli C252V brings a fresh perspective to everyday riding, blending the unmistakable character of a true V-Twin with the ease, control, and refinement today’s riders expect. Designed for the city but ready for more, it delivers a riding experience where comfort and confidence come first, without losing the timeless charm that defines the cruiser spirit.
At the heart of the C252V is its 249 cc V-Twin engine, offering 25.48 hp at 9000 rpm and 25 Nm at 5500 rpm. Smooth, responsive, and marked by a deep and engaging sound, it transforms daily commutes into something more meaningful—familiar yet energising. Combined with the bike’s low 690 mm seat height and upright riding position, the C252V immediately feels accessible and intuitive, ideal for riders with basic to intermediate experience.
Its modern chassis is built around a double cradle steel frame and a reinforced T-bar handlebar with elevated dual clamps. This structure enhances rigidity and stability, giving the C252V precise steering feel and a confident stance in urban environments and along secondary roads. Every element is designed to offer balance, control, and a naturally relaxed posture.
The riding experience is further enriched by technology that supports rather than overwhelms. The round full-colour LCD display is compact, clear, and stylish, giving the cockpit a clean retro-modern look. Traction control (TCS) and Bosch dual-channel ABS work discreetly in the background, providing peace of mind on wet streets or uneven surfaces.
The belt drive adds another layer of refinement, reducing vibrations and maintenance while delivering a smoother, quieter feel on the road. Paired with a slipper clutch that stabilises downshifts and prevents rear-wheel lock-up, the C252V encourages a smoother and easier ride, particularly in changing traffic conditions.
Suspension has been tuned with daily use in mind: a 37 mm upside-down front fork with 115 mm of travel, combined with dual rear shock absorbers with preload adjustment, helps absorb bumps and keep the ride smooth. With a curb weight of 200 kg, the C252V feels well-balanced and manageable, making it an easy companion for riders of different sizes and backgrounds.

Practicality meets style in the lighting and braking systems. Full LED lighting, including a distinctive LED DRLintegrated into the front headlight, improves visibility while giving the C252V a modern visual signature. Oversized brakes, 320 mm front disc and 260 mm rear disc, work alongside Bosch ABS to ensure safe, progressive stopping power. Wide-profile tyres mounted on CNC-machined alloy wheels add stability and comfort over common road imperfections.

In every detail, the Morbidelli C252V is built for real-world riding—accessible, stylish, and confident. It brings modern control to classic V-Twin emotion, showing that a cruiser can be both timeless and perfectly suited to today’s roads.
