MV Agusta unveils Enduro Veloce , the motorcycle that follows on from the LXP Orioli limited series as the Italian brand continues its journey in the highperformance adventure bike segment .
The Enduro Veloce is MV Agusta ’ s take on the highly competitive adventure bike segment . The Italian manufacturer ’ s latest addition reflects the MV Agusta philosophy of creating motorcycles with which people can fall in love , thanks to an extraordinary balance of chassis , engine , and electronics . The Enduro Veloce guarantees high-level performance on and off-road as well as maximum comfort during long-range travel .
The riding ease and distinctive , dynamic character are the result of a combination of unique technical , style and engineering solutions . The Enduro Veloce epitomises MV Agusta ’ s aesthetic standards . And , like every MV , it must be recognisable at first glance , identified as a member of that exclusive club , reserved to the world ’ s most beautiful bikes . The heritage and grandeur of the past live on in a radically contemporary object . The Enduro Veloce has been created by designers at the cutting-edge MV Agusta style centre . Harmonious lines meet no-compromise solutions , the result of very successful design research and technical assessments .
A compact and pared back tail section contrasts with the front end , the volumes and shape of which are defined to effectively protect the rider from the air and offer a comfortable riding position that also affords maximum control . The extensive fairings are completed with a transparent plexiglass top fairing , designed to minimise turbulence in the helmet area . Another very evocative style element is the iconic Ago Red and Ago Silver colour combination , which boosts the distinctive design of the motorcycle .
Aerodynamics have played an important part in defining the style of the Enduro Veloce . The design of the front mudguard , for example , was only finalised after a series of road tests and software simulations to ensure the utmost aerodynamic efficiency . Similarly , the lines of the front end maximise air flow directed to the radiator for cooling . This balance of attention to style and engineering research can also be seen in the air extractors on the side panels , the specific analysis of which results in a shape that guarantees the greatest comfort . The entire project involved comprehensive aerodynamic research using dedicated software and extensive road testing to recreate different situations of use , with a solo rider and both rider and passenger . This analysis was not just about verifying air protection , but also considered the impact on riding , to ensure stable behaviour even at high speed and complete with top and side cases .
The new 931 cc engine boasts an iconic technical solution seen on all new generation MV Agusta inline three-cylinders : the counter-rotating crankshaft . Designed , developed , and built entirely at the firm ’ s factory , the engine stands out for its lightness , weighing in at just 57 kg , and extreme compactness . But the engine ’ s compactness and contained weight are not the only features that contribute to the incredible handling of the Enduro Veloce . With a gyroscopic effect that essentially cancels out that of the front wheel , the counter-rotating crankshaft allows for particularly rapid changes in direction . This is particularly valuable on a model that mounts a 21 ” front wheel , in keeping with off-road tradition . As with every MV Agusta , performance is first-rate . The engine delivers maximum power of 124 hp at 10,000 rpm and 102 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm . This data translates into pure riding pleasure , with an engine that guarantees power at high rpm and immediate torque at low range . The rider can already harness 85 % of the maximum torque at 3,000 rpm . The bore-stroke ratio , larger compared to 675 and 798 cc units , combined with new camshaft profiles and timing makes for an engine that is very enjoyable and usable on the road . The double overhead camshaft benefits from a DLC coating to reduce friction to a minimum . The engine plays a key role in ensuring rider comfort in that vibration is reduced thanks to the countershaft and thorough study of the crank gear . The outstanding R & D work conducted at MV Agusta also ensures that operating temperatures remain particularly contained . Another positive in terms
