A year after introducing the budget-friendly X-Cape to the US market, Moto Morini is adding a new variant to the lineup. Dubbed the X-Cape SE, the bike is an up-spec’d version of the standard model, packing features that enhance its touring-readiness, ruggedness and overall comfort.

Like the standard model, the X-Cape SE is powered by a Bosch EFI 649cc parallel-twin engine, pumping 60 horsepower and 42.5 ft-lbs of torque. Suspension duties are handled by beefy, 50mm Marzocchi forks offering 6.9 inches of travel and a KYB monoshock with 6.5 inches of travel. Brembo twin-piston calipers bite on dual discs up front and a single disc in the rear for stopping power.

As a more adventure-ready version of the standard model, the X-Cape SE comes equipped with an easily detachable 3-piece set of aluminum luggage, providing ample storage space for essentials. The SE also adds features such as a larger skid plate, upper and lower crash bars, handguards, and a larger height-adjustable touring windscreen.

For standard equipment, Moto Morini offers switchable Bosch ABS, a 7” colored TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, full LED lighting, on-road / off-road ride modes, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System and a double waterproof USB charger. The bike rides on 19”/17” Akront tubeless spoke wheels shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, all supporting a claimed curb weight of 514 lbs without accessories. 

Pricing, Colors and Availability

Like the standard model, the up-spec X-Cape SE is backed by Moto Morini’s 3-year, unlimited miles warranty and has a 25,900-mile valve check duration. The 2024 variant is currently available with an MSRP of $9,799 in three color options—Italian Red, Black Ops, and Anthracite Smoke. The SE package can also be applied to the 2023 X-Cape with an MSRP of $8,799 with color options of Anthracite Smoke, Italian Red or Carrara White. For more information visit MotoMoriniUSA.com.
