a two tone paint treatment in MV ’ s Ago Red and Ago Silver colour combination . Interestingly , MV appears to have dropped the standard crash protection that the LXP benefits from for the full production bike which could be a reason why it has a very contemporary Italian design feel compared to its limited edition stable mate . Like the limited edition bike , the Enduro Veloce is sprung by a 48mm Sachs fork with adjustable compression , rebound and pre-load and an adjustable Sache mono shock . Both ends can move through 210mm of travel while the bike features 230mm of ground clearance to work with . While the seat height is a rather tall 870mm , MV has ensured those of us in the short in the leg department have a look in by giving it 20mm of adjustment which can see it drop to 850mm . The shape and padding of
the seat have been carefully designed to ensure comfort and adequate support in all conditions of use , including long-range highway travel .
As you might expect , MV has gone to the top of the shelf when it comes to its braking system of choice , with superbike-spec Brembo Stylema calipers on 320mm floating discs at the front and a dualpiston caliper with 265mm disc at the rear . As standard , the Enduro Veloce mounts Bridgestone Battlax A41 tyres in sizes 90 / 90-21 and 150 / 70-18 on Takasago Excel tubeless wheels with an elegant black finish to set them apart from the limited edition LXP . While pricing wil be announced closer to the bike ’ s August 2024 arrival , the addition of the Enduro Veloce to the MV Agusta range is sure to be a welcome shot in the arm for the brand , which only registered three bikes for Kiwi roads in 2023 .
