MV AGUSTA ’ S FULL PRODUCTION ADV DEBUTS
It ’ s fair to say that when MV Agusta announced its limited edition LXP Orioli , we were less than impressed . A small batch “ luxury ” off-roader didn ’ t make much sense to us . Thankfully , it turns out that MV never intended to let its off road ambitions end with the LXP , and has announced the full production version of its first adventure bike - suitably named the Enduro Veloce . Like the LXP Orioli , the Enduro Veloce runs to the hum of a 931cc triple producing 124hp at 10,000rpm and 102Nm at 7000rpm .

Along with cornering traction control and ABS , cruise control and Rear Wheel Lift-Up Mitigation the Enduro Veloce also gets four riding modes - Urban , Touring , Off-Road and Custom All-Terrain . All of this is controlled through a 7-inch TFT dash .
Like the rest of MV Agusta range , the Enduro Veloce features built in Bluetooth connectivity with the free MV Ride app , which has been significantly revised and updated to make it even more efficient and advanced in terms of connectivity . The rider can now enter a destination and view the route , turn by turn , on the colour TFT display and by enabling the Trip record functionality , data acquisition is active during riding . That means not only can you track your journey , you also will be able to look at all kinds of interesting data including the route , and data regarding speed , gears used , lean angle , altitude and more . Styling has been toned down somewhat from the LXP , with the Enduro Veloce getting
