The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has been launched. It is a new MV, instead it is “just” the third name for the Lucky Explorer 9.5.
It was initially called the Lucky Explorer 9.5, as an homage to the Lucky Strike-sponsored Cagiva Elefant which won the Dakar Rally in the ‘90s. Last year, the name was then changed to the LXP Orioli after Edi Orioli who rode that Elefant to that victory. And now, the MV Agusta Enduro Veloce. Production will begin in May 2024 and are expected to arrive in overseas dealers’ showrooms before the end of the year.
As such, the current bike is the same as the aforementioned LXP Orioli.
Highlights:
- 931cc inline-three-cylinder engine producing the 124bhp and 102Nm.
- The engine has a counter-rotating crankshaft to reduce the crankshaft’s gyroscopic effect.

- Four riding modes (yes, they are separate from traction control), Urban, Touring, Off-Road, Custom All-Terrain.
- Traction control data is fed into a six-axis IMU.
- A 7-inch TFT display, and the usual MV Agusta backlit handlebar controls.
- Colour options are any colour you want as long as it is Ago Red and Ago Silver (two tone).
