2027 Moto Morini Camel First Look: Old Name, New Identity

Moto Morini has been in the middleweight adventure bike segment for a while with its X-Cape series, which is the brand’s ADV featuring 19-inch front wheels that strike a balance between road and off-road riding goals. At EICMA 2026, the Italian-origin firm introduced the new mid-weight Camel, which offers a more off-road-ready character with a taller 21-inch front wheel. MM has not revealed pricing or whether the bike will come to the US yet.

The original Moto Morini Camel of the ‘80s was a dual-purpose motorcycle that even made its way to the Paris-Dakar Rally. It was designed to capitalize on the booming popularity of rally raids. MM wants to relive that by bringing the Camel name back to the now-booming middleweight ADV segment, leaving the Camel’s dual-sport roots for an adventure-touring character. Here’s what we know about this bike so far.

Moto Morini’s First In-house Developed Parallel-Twin

Unlike the X-Cape 700, which uses a 693cc parallel-twin from CFMoto, a licensed and modified evolution of the classic Kawasaki 650 platform, the Camel uses the company’s first in-house-developed parallel-twin engine. The new 670cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel-twin engine delivers 82 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 52 lb-ft of torque at 8,5000 rpm. The company says it’s tuned to balance performance and practicality, and will also be available in A2-compliant versions for the European market.

Chassis: Fully Adjustable Suspension, Brembo Brakes

The bike uses a chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame with a single-piece aluminum swingarm. It’s supported by fully adjustable suspension with a 48mm USD fork and a progressive pro-link monoshock, both offering 9.84-inch wheel travel. The bike primarily differentiates itself from the X-Cape with its 21/18-inch spoked-wheel setup and tubeless tires. Braking comes from Brembo, with dual floating calipers on 300mm discs up front and 2-piston calipers on 255mm rear discs. The setup provides 11 inches of ground clearance and a dry weight of 441 pounds.

The Camel wears a tall, rally-inspired design, led by geometric LED headlights and sand-colored livery. Up front is a tall windscreen for wind protection, and the 2-piece seat sits 33.46 inches off the ground. At the back, the exposed subframe holds a luggage rack and tying points. Electronics include Bluetooth support, ride-by-wire throttle, ride modes, adjustable traction control, switchable ABS, and cruise control.

2027 Moto Morini Camel Price And Availability

Moto Morini hasn’t revealed the bike’s MSRP or whether it will come to the US. The current X-Cape lineup starts at $6,499 MSRP, so if and when it comes Stateside, it will likely carry a similar MSRP and undercut many rivals.
