FOR THE ADVENTURE TRAVELLER
MV Agusta has unveiled its latest adventure motorcycle, the 2026 Enduro Veloce, marking a confident move by the Italian manufacturer into the high-end adventure segment. Described by the company as a fusion of precision, power, style and pure adventure, the new model blends MV’ s racing DNA with the practicalities demanded by long-distance travel and offroad capability.
Designed entirely at the brand’ s Centro Stile in Varese, the Enduro Veloce carries the unmistakable aesthetic of MV Agusta— aerodynamic fairings, a compact tail and sculpted side extractors that optimise airflow and stability even when the bike is fully loaded. The new model comes in two distinct liveries: Nero Intenso / Grigio Antracite for a darker, more aggressive tone, and Bianco Perlato RC / Blu Nordico for a refined, classic Italian look. Every design element has been crafted with both form and function in mind, balancing elegance with the practical demands of adventure travel.
Power comes from a 931 cc three-cylinder engine built entirely in-house at MV Agusta’ s factory. Producing 124 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 102 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm, the unit weighs just 57 kilograms thanks to a counter-rotating crankshaft that improves agility and neutralises gyroscopic inertia— a signature MV feature carried over from its sportier siblings. The gearbox is a six-speed with MV’ s EAS 4.0 quickshifter, allowing seamless clutch-free shifts in both directions, even under load.
The chassis is a steel perimetral frame with a double cradle layout, developed to offer the right mix of rigidity and flexibility between road stability and off-road comfort. Suspension comes from Sachs, with a fully adjustable 48 mm front fork and matching rear shock offering 210 millimetres of travel. Braking is supplied by Brembo Stylema calipers gripping 320 mm twin front discs, supported by a 265 mm rear disc. The seat height can be adjusted between 850 and 870 millimetres, with ground clearance set at 230 millimetres— figures that place it firmly in the serious adventure category.
MV Agusta has also given the Enduro Veloce a generous standard equipment list. Lockable aluminium panniers provide 72 litres of combined luggage space, and a central stand is included for added practicality. The bike arrives with engine protection bars, auxiliary fog lights and Bridgestone Battlax AT41 tyres— 90 / 90-21 at the front and 150 / 70-18 at the rear— suited to both tarmac and light off-road conditions.
Electronics are handled by a six-axis IMU, enabling cornering ABS, rear-wheel lift mitigation and multiple levels of traction control. Riders can choose from four modes— Urban, Touring, Off-Road and Custom All- Terrain— to adjust throttle response, traction and engine braking to conditions. A seven-inch TFT display provides Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing smartphone pairing for calls, navigation and trip management via the MV Ride app. The system also supports route recording, sharing and the creation of custom ride maps.
MV Agusta’ s confidence in the new platform is underlined by a five-year factory warranty, one of the strongest offered in the motorcycle industry. The Enduro Veloce will retail in Italy for € 19,900, with pricing and availability for markets such as Australia still to be confirmed.
For MV Agusta, a company best known for exotic road and racing machines, the Enduro Veloce signals a clear step into new territory— a motorcycle that brings together the marque’ s trademark style and engineering finesse with genuine long-distance and off-road potential. Early impressions suggest a machine that not only looks the part but also aims to deliver the substance to match, positioning MV Agusta as a serious new contender in the adventure-touring world.
