Kawasaki Versys 1100, Official Motorcycle of the 2025 Tour de France

The Tour de France, the most prestigious event in the world of cycling, is a spectacle that relies on a vast infrastructure, along with a significant number of support vehicles for teams and organisers.

Among them, this year, a fleet of Kawasaki Versys 1100 will ride as the Official Motorcycles of the event in 2025 and for the following two years.

With twenty-one stages and 3,338 km, the Tour de France traverses various terrains, with elevation changes from mountains to sea-level plains, along with countless twists and turns. It is a demanding competition for cyclists, but also for the support staff and the support motorcycles.

"Thanks to their generous load capacity, smooth response at all speeds and on any road, all-day comfort, the Versys 1100 contributes to the race's efficiency by ensuring road closures are maintained, crowds are kept safe, and the entire entourage of competitors, team support vehicles, and media can navigate each stage without hindrance," the brand assures.

The Versys 1100 stands out for its versatility on any road, comfort, and ease of handling. This year, it underwent a significant upgrade: the inline four-cylinder engine's displacement increased from 1,043 cc to 1,099 cc, and the maximum power rose from 120 hp to 135 hp.

Regarding electronic aids, it is equipped with KTRC traction control, cornering ABS management, power mode selections, and riding mode, and the SE version features Showa suspension with electronic damping.
