MV Agusta Enduro Veloce

A Legacy Reborn for Adventure Enthusiasts

MV Agusta forges a new path in the motorcycle world with the unveiling of the Enduro Veloce. This model represents the esteemed Italian brand’s continued effort in the high-performance segment, capturing the essence of its rich racing legacy and innovative prowess. The Enduro Veloce, deeply rooted in the traditions of MV Agusta’s victorious past, seamlessly combines the excitement of off-road riding with the refined engineering Italy is known for.

Designed to appeal to those who value both heritage and high performance, the Enduro Veloce redefines what an adventure bike can be. It delivers a potent mix of power, style, and cutting-edge technology, pushing the limits of what enthusiasts can expect from the segment. This motorcycle showcases MV Agusta’s dedication to excellence, offering riders a unique blend that is as thrilling to behold as it is to ride.

Design and Style

The Enduro Veloce is a pinnacle of MV Agusta’s design ethos, encapsulating the brand’s commitment to aesthetic excellence and innovation. Crafted at the forefront of the MV Agusta style center, the motorcycle exhibits a blend of harmonious lines and uncompromising functional elements born from rigorous design research and technical assessments. Its design is a nod to the brand’s rich heritage, yet it speaks a modern design language that is distinctly MV Agusta.

The motorcycle’s rear is compact and streamlined, starkly contrasting with the robust front end, which is shaped to provide maximum rider protection from the elements and optimal control. The extensive fairings, crowned with a transparent plexiglass top, are meticulously engineered to reduce turbulence around the helmet area. The iconic Ago Red and Ago Silver color scheme is a standout feature, enhancing the bike’s distinctiveness. Aerodynamic efficiency is at the heart of its design, with elements like the front mudguard shaped through extensive road testing and simulation to ensure optimal airflow, further exemplifying the seamless integration of style and engineering.

Technical Specifications and Performance

The core of the Enduro Veloce is its state-of-the-art 931 cc in-line three-cylinder engine, defined by a counter-rotating crankshaft, a distinctive feature of MV Agusta’s advanced engineering. This engine is a powerhouse and a marvel of compactness and efficiency, weighing just 125.7 lb (57 kg), contributing to the bike’s agility and handling.

Key Specifications

  • Power Output: 124 hp at 10,000 rpm
  • Torque: 102 Nm at 7,000 rpm, with 85% accessible from 3,000 rpm

The engineering excellence extends to the engine’s design, where the larger bore-stroke ratio and new camshaft profiles and timing contribute to an exhilarating and usable road experience. The double overhead camshaft, coated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), minimizes friction, aiding in the seamless delivery of power.

Handling and comfort are paramount in the Enduro Veloce’s design. The counter-rotating crankshaft mitigates the gyroscopic effect, harmonizing with the 21″ front wheel to facilitate rapid directional changes. This feature is particularly valuable off-road, where agility is crucial.

  • Vibration Reduction: Engine design and the meticulous study of the crank gear system reduce vibrations, enhancing rider comfort.
  • Thermal Management: Extensive research and development have led to an engine that maintains lower operating temperatures, boosting performance and ensuring a consistent experience on long journeys.

The Enduro Veloce’s transmission system showcases MV Agusta’s meticulous attention to detail:

  • Gearbox: A smooth and precise 6-speed gearbox allows for efficient power transfer.
  • Electronically Assisted Shift (EAS) 4.0: Facilitates seamless gear changes, improving the overall riding experience.

The auditory journey on the Enduro Veloce is as compelling as its performance. The exhaust system, equipped with a bypass valve, creates a symphony reminiscent of a Superbike, defining the acoustic experience of this MV Agusta masterpiece.
