Honoring the racing legend that won 15 world titles, 123 world championship races, 18 Italian Championship titles, and 10 Tourist Trophies, the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago is a limited-edition model with special top-quality details and signed by Giacomo Agostini himself.
Giacomo Agostini’s signature will adorn each Superveloce 1000 Ago. Also notice the gold plate that reads “15 Titoli Mondiali.”
The model is limited to 83 units worldwide to mark Agostini’s 83rd birthday in 2025, and each unit’s individual number from 1 to 83 can be found on a real-gold plate on the steering head, as well as on the certificate of authenticity. One particularly unique feature is that a brass coin on the shell of each ignition key is made from an original trophy won by Agostini and that Agostini selected and donated to MV Agusta for this purpose.
This brass coin on each ignition key was made from one of Agostini’s trophies. It reads “Ricavato da un Trofeo di Giacomo Agostini.”
Drawing inspiration from Agostini’s racing bike, the Superveloce 1000 Ago will feature Fire Red Matte and Magnum Silver Matte colors, along with a yellow side panel with a number 1 on it. The bike features full carbon-fiber bodywork, the spoked wheels include a silver color, and a leather strap runs over the fuel tank. On the leather strap is a golden plaque that reads “15 Titoli Mondiali,” translating to “15 world titles.” The black Alcantara seat is embroidered with “Agostini” with arrow-shaped stripes reminiscent of Agostini’s racing suite, as well as an MV Agusta logo.
A leather strap extends across the fuel tank.
Other than the special details described above, the Superveloce 1000 Ago shares specifications and high-quality parts with the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, a limited-edition model announced for 2024. It’s powered by MV’s 998cc inline-Four that makes a claimed 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 85.9 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm, with redline at 14,000 rpm. Top-quality components include forged titanium connecting rods, DLC-coated cams, and titanium valves.
On the steering head is a plate with each bike’s individual number out of 83.
It also features a steel trellis frame, and the aluminum single-sided swingarm has a height-adjustable connector pin. Öhlins electronic suspension includes a 43mm inverted fork (electronically adjustable for compression and rebound and manually adjustable for spring preload), a 36mm monoshock (electronically adjustable for preload, rebound, and compression), and an adjustable steering damper. Braking is provided by Brembo and includes two front 320mm discs with radial Stylema 4-piston calipers, as well as a rear 220mm disc with 2-piston caliper.

The MV Agusta Ottantesimo Collection celebrates 80 years of production for the storied Italian brand. The six models in this collection are limited to 500 units each and come with special paint, a dedicated Heritage logo, and a certificate of authenticity. They also receive a few other updates.
2025 MV Agusta Brutale RR Ottantesimo
In August of 1943, Meccanica Verghera’s 98cc engine was production-ready, but the German occupation of the Agusta factory in September brought operations to a halt. Luckily, MV technicians and engineers had had the foresight to hide away the engine’s drawings, models, and prototype in their basements and homes to keep them safe. By mid-1944, production of the first MV Agusta motorcycle, the MV 98, was able to commence.
2025 MV Agusta F3 RR Ottantesimo
The Agusta family founded Meccanica Verghera S.r.l. in Cascina Costa on January 19, 1945, turning away from the aeronautics industry and putting their energy into building motorcycles. Those early motorcycles included the word “emmevi” engraved on various parts to show how to correctly pronounce “MV” in Italian, and the company’s logo included the letters “MV” inside a gearwheel.
The Ottantesimo Collection celebrates the company’s 80-year history and includes four 798cc 3-cylinder models and two 998cc 4-cylinder models, each with special paint and an engraved unit number on the triple-clamp or tank, depending on the model.
3-Cylinder MV Agusta Ottantesimo Models
The models in the 3-cylinder range include the Brutale RR, Dragster RR, F3 RR, and Superveloce S. Their shared engine receives upgrades to comply with Euro 5+ regulations while retaining the same power and torque numbers as before: 147 hp at 13,000 rpm and 65 lb-ft at 10,100 rpm.
2025 Dragster RR Ottantesimo
All four models feature a 6-axis IMU that manages four riding modes (Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom), eight levels of traction control, two modes of cornering ABS, launch control, and front lift control. Cruise control and a 5.5-inch TFT display that connects to the MV Ride mobile app are standard.
2025 Dragster RR Ottantesimo
On the Brutale RR, F3 RR, and Superveloce S, the clutch has been updated with a new 9-disc slipper clutch with torque assist, which MV Agusta claims reduces clutch lever effort by 50%. The Dragster RR keeps its SCS automatic clutch.
The MV Agusta Brutale RR Ottantesimo features Rosso Ago and Argento Ago paint and includes a dedicated Color Trim & Graphic and the Heritage logo.
2025 Brutale RR Ottantesimo
The MV Agusta Dragster RR Ottantesimo features Metallic Carbon Black and Argento Ago paint with the Heritage logo in gold.
2025 F3 RR Ottantesimo
The MV Agusta F3 RR Ottantesimo will come in Argento Ago and Rosso Ago, and its special kit includes an Akrapovič exhaust (boosting power to 155 hp at 13,250 rpm), a carbon-fiber silencer cover, a CNC-machined fuel cap, and a passenger seat cowl.
2025 Superveloce S Ottantesimo
The MV Agusta Superveloce S Ottantesimo will come in Fire Red and Satin Intense Silver and include an Alcantara seat and new “Millerighe” wheels. Its dedicated kit includes an Arrow exhaust that boosts power to 153 hp and a passenger seat cover.
4-Cylinder MV Agusta Ottantesimo Models
2025 Brutale 1000 RR Ottantesimo
The 4-cylinder Ottantesimo models include the Brutale 1000 and Brutale 1000 RR, which also receive a few updates. A new ECU includes new maps for improved throttle sensitivity, and the camshafts have been redesigned to increase torque and power at lower revs. The 998cc inline-Four delivers peak power of 201 hp at 13,500 rpm and max torque of 86 lb-ft at 11,000 rpm. With the updates, the engine produces more power from as low as 3,500 rpm.
2025 Brutale 1000 RR Ottantesimo
The Brutale 1000 and Brutale 1000 RR also get a new 4-outlet exhaust system designed in collaboration with Arrow, as well as a new 10-disc slipper clutch with torque assist, which reduces clutch lever effort by a claimed 50%. The throttle-by-wire system includes an updated control algorithm, and the bikes come with four riding modes (Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom).
2025 Brutale 1000 Ottantesimo
The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Ottantesimo will come in Rosso Ago and Argento Ago.
The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Ottantesimo includes a new Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 electronic suspension package and exposed carbon fiber. It will come in Fire Red and Ago Matte Silver.
New for 2025, the limited-edition MV Agusta F3 Competizione is based on the F3 RR but includes special features like Öhlins suspension and carbon-fiber components, and only 300 units will be built. Each unit comes with a dedicated kit and a certificate of authenticity and is engraved with its unique unit number out of 300.
Replacing the F3 RR’s Marzzochi fork is a 43mm Öhlins NIX30 inverted fork with TiN-coated stanchions and full adjustability. Adjusters for compression and rebound are found on the top of the fork on the left and right, respectively. The Öhlins TXX 36 shock includes an external piggyback reservoir and is also fully adjustable. Also included is a 19-position adjustable steering damper. This suspension setup reduces weight by about 2 lb compared to the F3 RR’s suspension. More weight reduction comes from the carbon wheels that replace the RR’s aluminum alloy wheels, shaving off an extra 6.6 lb.
The MV Agusta F3 Competizione comes with an adjustable steering damper, and its unit number out of 300 is located on a plaque on the triple clamp.
Braking components remain the same, including 320mm front discs with radial-mounted Brembo Stylema monoblock 4-piston calipers and a 220mm rear disc. The RR’s standard battery is replaced with a lighter-weight lithium-ion battery in the Competizione.
The F3 Competizione’s titanium Akrapovič exhaust system bumps horsepower up from 155 on the F3 RR to 160 at 13,500 rpm. The engine powering both models is MV Agusta’s 798cc 3-cylinder, with a13,500 rpm rev limit. The Competizione benefits from the new 9-disc MV Agusta slip/assist clutch, which is claimed to reduce lever effort by 50%. Like the F3 RR, the Competizione also gets Electronically Assisted Shift for clutchless up- and downshifts.
The limited-edition F3 Competizione includes many carbon-fiber components.
The MV Agusta F3 Competizione comes with a new ECU and a 6-axis IMU. It offers four riding modes (Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom), eight levels of traction control, and cruise control. A 5.5-inch TFT display connects to the MV Ride smartphone app. ABS with two modes (Sport and Race) features a cornering function. Also included is front lift control and launch control, which MV Agusta claims allows the bike to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh (62 mph) in under 3 seconds.
The bike includes many carbon fiber parts, including the fairing sides and front fender. Also included is a smoked racing windscreen. The Competizione’s design draws inspiration from the F4 Claudio and includes colors like Satin Metallic Carbon Black, Satin Intense Silver, and Gold. It has an Alcantara seat and gold finish on some components, including the front brake disc flanges and the rear sprocket. The CNC-machined triple clamp includes a plaque with the unit’s number out of 300.
As a limited-edition model, the 2025 MV Agusta F3 Competizione comes with a dedicated kit which includes the Akrapovič titanium exhaust, carbon-fiber cover for the exhaust terminal, a CNC-machined fuel cap, a fiberglass seat cover, a dedicated bike cover, and a certificate of authenticity.
Pricing for the MV Agusta F3 Competizione has not yet been announced.

This program is available nationwide until the end of the year. Those interested can find more information at their nearest MV Agusta dealer.
The MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is a limited-edition model of 500 units worldwide described as “the shape of desire.” More a work of art than an every-garage bike, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro features premium components and state-of-the-art technology. Even if you can’t get your hands on one of the 500 units, you can still enjoy its visual beauty and save its high five-figure price for a rainy day.
Powering the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is the 998cc inline-Four also found in the Rush 1000 and Brutale 1000. MV Agusta claims the engine makes 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 85.9 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm, with redline at 14,000 rpm. Top-quality components here include forged titanium connecting rods, DLC-coated cams, and titanium valves. The Akrapovič four-exit titanium exhaust was developed specifically for this bike and features an “organ pipe” shape.
It rides on a steel trellis frame, and the single-sided swingarm is made of aluminum and has a height-adjustable connector pin. Suspension is provided by Öhlins with a 43mm inverted fork and a 36mm monoshock, both offering 4.7 inches of travel. The fork is electronically adjustable for compression and rebound and manually adjustable for spring preload, while the shock is electronically adjustable for preload, rebound, and compression. Also included is an electronically adjustable Öhlins steering damper.
Keeping with the theme of high-quality components, Brembo supplies the brakes. Up front are two 320mm discs with radially mounted Stylema 4-piston calipers, and in the rear is a 220mm disc with a Brembo 2-piston caliper. The cornering ABS system has two levels of intervention: Sport and Race modes.
Designed and built at the MV Agusta facilities on the shores of Lake Varese in Italy, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is made to be admired. Key styling details include a round headlight, horizontal lines, and high-tech materials like carbon fiber. In fact, the bike’s entire bodywork is carbon fiber painted with Ago Silver, Pearl Shock Red, and Gold Ciclistica. MV Agusta says 41 components on the bike are made of carbon fiber using two different processes: forged and laminated. The seat is made of leather and Alcantara, and a leather strap runs down the fuel tank. The star-shaped wheels draw the eyes, and the rear wheel’s hub features the MV logo. The winglets provide visual impact and some downforce at speed.
Technology is abundant on the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro. In addition to two-mode ABS, it features traction control with eight levels of intervention, front lift control to optimize wheelies, launch control, cruise control, the MV EAS 4.0 bi-directional quickshifter, and four ride modes: Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom.
Through the MV Ride app, riders can access turn-by-turn navigation that is displayed on the 5.5-inch TFT color instrumentation. The Trip Record function of the app allows riders to record their rides and view the completed route, speed, gear used, lean angle, altitude, and travel times, and they can share their recorded rides with the MV community on the app. It also includes an alarm managed through the Greenbox app to alert the owner if the bike is messed with, and MV provides one year of free use for the alarm.
As a limited-edition model, the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro comes with a dedicated kit that includes a certificate of authenticity, a dedicated motorcycle cover, a passenger seat in leather and Alcantara, passenger footpegs, carbon passenger heel guards, CNC-machined brake and clutch levers, and height-adjustment plates for the swingarm pin.
MV Agusta hasn’t announced a U.S. price for the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, but the U.K. price is £61,400 (nearly USD $79,000). During the press briefing for the bike, MV Agusta said preorders were originally exclusive to brand collectors, and it claimed about 60% of the 500 units to be made are already spoken for. Those interested in one of these limited-edition motorcycles should make haste to their local dealer to inquire about ordering one.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce marks the Italian brand’s entrance into the adventure-touring market, competing against bikes like the Ducati Multistrada V2, Triumph Tiger 900, and BMW F 900 GS. The Enduro Veloce is powered by a 931cc inline-Triple that delivers 124 hp and 75.2 lb-ft of torque. It has 8.3 inches of wheel travel front and rear, 9 inches of ground clearance, a 34.3-inch seat height, and Brembo brakes, as well as a sophisticated electronics suite.
To test the Enduro Veloce, we traveled to the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, where we logged miles on the island’s best routes to get a taste of what the Enduro Veloce has to offer. By the end of the day, we were impressed with the bike’s nimble handling, engine performance, and artistry.

If you asked what I thought about MV Agusta around 2010, I’d quickly respond: Beautiful Italian lines and attitudes but priced for the very few.
Then, in 2012, MV introduced the F3 sportbike, offering the inline-Triple platform in relatively affordable 675 and 800 versions. The 675 performed decently for its short time in World Supersport from 2013-2020, taking five 3rd-place finishes and one runner-up.
The Triples ignited the Varese company’s new focus and opened the door to a broader range of riders – although still only for those with larger bank accounts. The F3s were followed by other models over the years, including the Dragster naked, Turismo Veloce sport-tourer, Superveloce neo-classic sportbike, the Rush hyper naked, and updated Brutale nakeds, among other special editions.
MV Agusta LXP Orioli at the 2024 AIMExpo show in Las Vegas (photo by Greg Drevenstedt)
At EICMA 2023, MV unveiled its first-ever adventure tourer – the LXP Orioli. The previous “Lucky Explorer” moniker, an homage to the Cagiva Elefant’s Paris-Dakar campaigns, was retired in favor of a tribute to Italian rally legend Edi Orioli.
This signified a transformation within the Italian brand to enter the adventure-touring market, something that made sense given its new relationship that began with Pierer Mobility – the parent company of KTM, Gas Gas, and Husqvarna – which had acquired 25.1% of the brand. This helped MV expand its lineup and launch a new product line in the brand’s historic factory in Schiranna.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce is available only in the Ago Red/Ago Silver color scheme, which celebrates the brand’s racing heritage.
The business news continued to grow for MV Agusta, and in March of this year, Pierer Mobility increased its stake to 50.1%, gaining majority control of the brand.
The LXP Orioli is a beautiful machine, but only 500 will be made and each one costs a princely $29,000. This exclusivity changed with the release of the new Enduro Veloce, basically a base version of the LXP Orioli, which joins the MV lineup as the brand’s first full-production motorcycle in the fast-growing adventure touring segment.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce continues to celebrate the company’s racing history, specifically honoring the triumphs of the 1940s-era MV Agusta 98. The 98 was famously piloted by Vincenzo Nencioni to win the Golfo di La Spezia off-road race in 1946, followed by another notable win by Carlo Ubbiali at the British Six Days race in 1949.
Our test of the MV Agusta Enduro Veloce in Sardinia included both paved roads and unpaved tracks.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce’s performance is particularly well-suited for twisty pavement.
To test the Enduro Veloce, I traveled to Sardinia, a Mediterranean island that’s a semi-autonomous region of Italy, where I logged 150 miles on mostly paved roads with a brief off-road excursion. Although the launch was mostly street-focused, with Bridgestone A41 (80/20) tubeless tires on its 21/18-inch spoked wheels, the small amount of dirt riding on bikes wrapped with the knobbier AX41 (50/50) tires proved the Enduro Veloce can hang with the latest adventure tourers.
I’d classify the Enduro Veloce as an 80/20 adventure tourer and a direct competitor to the Ducati Multistrada V2, Triumph Tiger 900, and BMW F 900 GS. But it’s much prettier, mostly due to MV Agusta’s focus on the “horizontal versus vertical” design philosophy, which translates to all bodylines, engine structures, graphics, paint, and every element flowing naturally from front to back and vice versa.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce’s bodywork emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency, maximizing smooth airflow and heat extraction.
And would you really want to drop this fine-looking piece of Italian motorcycle art that costs nearly $23,000? If it meant exploring some of the world’s best two-track backcountry, I’d say hell yeah, especially because the road sections getting to those gravel roads will be so much fun.
At the heart of the Enduro Veloce lies a 931cc powerplant that is the brand’s most radical departure from its predecessors. Unlike the 798cc Triples in other models, the Enduro Veloce’s engine is a clean-sheet design by the Varese R&D team, emphasizing lightness, compactness, and efficiency.
Weighing in at just 125.6 lb, the engine is 10% lighter than other MV Triples, yet it packs a formidable punch with claimed 124 hp at 10,000 rpm and 75.2 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm. The engine’s lightness helps keep the bike’s purported dry weight to 494 lb, though the bike is likely to weigh more than 530 lb when the 5.3-gallon fuel tank is full and oil and coolant are added.
Yes, the Enduro Veloce is considerably heavier than the wet weights of around 480 lb for the KTM 890 Adventure and 490 lb for the Ducati Multistrada V2. At a photo stop, I nearly dropped the bike when my foot slid on some rocks, and it took muscle and a fellow rider (thanks, Costa!) to help arrest my fall. But while riding the MV, it felt nimble and light, even during 1st-gear speeds while turning around on tighter roads.
The real MV magic, however, begins as soon as the electronic throttle is opened. Approximately 85% of maximum torque is accessible from as low as 3,000 rpm, and it remains linear and potent up to the 7,500-rpm mark, where it gently starts to taper off. But for those looking for that extra oomph, this bike quickly revs to the “soft” 10,200 or “hard” 10,500 rev limit, keeping the exhaust note high and the riding exciting.
The Enduro Veloce’s 931cc inline-Triple is the largest three-cylinder engine in MV Agusta’s lineup.
During the first few miles, the broad spread of torque allowed me to short-shift and ride lazily, letting the grunty engine do all the work. But the Enduro Veloce has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quality, and soon I began revving the bike nearly to the hard limiter before shifting, awakening the bike’s hooligan side.
One of the most notable features of the Enduro Veloce is its counter-rotating crankshaft. This feature, typically reserved for high-performance racing machines, counteracts the gyroscopic effect of the wheels, enhancing the bike’s agility and responsiveness.
During acceleration, the design notably balances the load on the 21-inch front wheel, which helps retain stability and control, especially when navigating the endless tight switchbacks and uneven asphalt in Sardinia. Despite the large-diameter front wheel, the bike remained remarkably nimble and willing to obey the slightest inputs.
Unlike most motorcycles, the Enduro Veloce’s stock exhaust pipe sounds great.
The Enduro Veloce’s auditory experience is as refined as its mechanical performance. I’m a guitar player and love how a musician like Stevie Ray Vaughan can go from clean tones to screaming, deep mid-tones within seconds. The Enduro Veloce’s engine replicates this with a flick of the wrist.
The stock muffler is a big exhaust can, but it produces a symphony that crescendos near the rev limit, turning heads and signaling the raw power within. This exhaust note not only enhanced the riding pleasure but deepened my connection to the machine. The sound was most impressive above 10,000 rpm, creating an explosive pop while shifting. This process was facilitated by the smooth-operating 6-speed transmission, featuring a flawless up/down quickshifter.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has an extractable 6-speed gearbox with MV Agusta’s Electronically Assisted Shift 4.0.
The Enduro Veloce delivers commendable fuel efficiency for its class, averaging around 40 mpg under mixed riding conditions. This efficiency translates to a range of more than 200 miles from its 5.3-gallon fuel tank if not riding like a loon, allowing for extensive journeys between refuels.
MV Agusta Enduro Veloce Electronics and Display
All this performance is managed by a sophisticated electronics suite. Wisely, the developers kept everything simple and intuitive to access through the controls and large 7-inch TFT display, providing simple-to-read data with beautiful graphics.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has a full-color 7-inch TFT display with attractive, easy-to-read graphics.
It all begins with riding modes, with inputs calculated from the 6-axis IMU: Urban, Touring, Off-Road, and Custom All-Terrain. The typical Sport mode is noticeably missing, but since everything can be tweaked, I simply made the Custom mode my version of Sport by altering the parameters to my liking. In each riding mode, you can adjust throttle response, engine torque, and engine response (how quickly it revs). There are also two levels of engine braking separate from the riding modes, allowing riders to tailor how the bike slows down when easing off the throttle.
The Enduro Veloce features eight levels of traction control: five for road use, two for off-road, and one for wet. The TC settings be switched on the fly, including deactivation in any mode, and they can be fine-tuned depending on whether you’re rolling on the stock Bridgestone A41 80/20 tires for mainly street riding or the optional AX41 50/50 tires for heavier off-road use.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has backlit switches that are intuitive to use.
The Enduro Veloce is also equipped with cornering ABS and rear-wheel lift mitigation (RLM). The ABS system is only switchable and customizable in the Off-Road and Custom modes, and both ABS and RLM can be changed while riding. Level 1 (lower intervention on the front wheel; off on the rear; cornering off; less invasive RLM) was optimal for off-road, allowing me to skid the rear and rely on some front ABS for harder braking. Level 2 offers full intervention. For the Custom mode that I was using as my personal Sport mode, I also used Level 1 ABS and totally shut it off a few times for added fun.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has a 6-axis IMU and a full electronics suite that is customizable.
Three other rider aids are cruise control, wheelie control, and launch control. The cruise control performed flawlessly, relieving my throttle hand during longer highway stretches. Launch control seems more appropriate for a sportbike or a hyper naked, but hooligans will be hooligans, and I had fun with it at a few stop signs and on an isolated section of a straight road. Just push the “LC” button, pull in the clutch while in 1st, open the throttle, and when it tells you, release the clutch. This should help achieve the claimed 3.7-second acceleration from 0 to 60 mph, and the soundtrack is pure SBK.
MV Agusta Enduro Veloce Chassis, Suspension, and Brakes
The Enduro Veloce is built around a perimeter frame with a double-cradle design, complemented with a double-sided aluminum swingarm. This construction shifts from the gorgeous single-sided swingarms seen on all other MV models in its current lineup, emphasizing functionality over aesthetics.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has fully adjustable Sachs suspenion with 8.3 inches of front/rear travel.
Given its price, the absence of electronic suspension on the Enduro Veloce is notable. Yet the fully adjustable Sachs suspension – with a 48mm inverted fork at the front and a rear shock featuring progressive linkage – proved highly capable. I weigh around 185 lb, and the only tweak I made throughout the test was half a turn on the shock’s preload knob. Nothing else was needed.
The suspension and wheel setup combined with the engine character impressed me all day. At first glance of the bike, with its 8.3 inches of suspension travel, 9 inches of ground clearance, and off-road ready wheels, I expected poor cornering stability. But I was wrong. The chassis remained stable throughout the corners, barely diving or squatting, allowing me to hold my line without much input. Thanks to the cornering ABS, I also experimented with some harsh, mid-corner brake jabs in an attempt to upset the chassis. The bike recovered quickly, allowing me to return to my line and finish the turns safely.
The off-road portion of our test ride on the MV Agusta Enduro Veloce was brief, but the bike handled itself well.
When I tested the bike with AX41 rubber for the off-road section, the long-travel suspension provided a plush feel. I didn’t adjust the suspension due to the short time I spent riding the dirt-ready Enduro Veloce, but the suspension in its stock settings felt ideal for lighter off-road use, allowing the bike to rebound quickly.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has 21-inch front/18-inch rear tubeless spoked wheels, Brembo Stylema front calipers, and cornering ABS.
The Enduro Veloce is equipped with top-shelf Brembo Stylema radial monoblock front calipers, which clamp onto 320mm discs. The front lever feel is distinctly Brembo – accurate and responsive. This becomes evident when applying trail-braking techniques. The front lever provides substantial feedback and only a slightly bumpy feel when testing the true capabilities of the cornering ABS.
MV Agusta Enduro Veloce Ergonomics
Thanks to the design of its dual-height seat (33.5/34.3 inches), I was able to comfortably flatfoot at stops, which enhanced control and confidence, especially in slow traffic. While the seat provided reasonable comfort for most of the day, it became uncomfortable toward the end of the ride.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has a dual-height rider’s seat with a separate pillion, and both have a suede-like cover.
The handlebar, which initially appeared high, offered all-day comfort for my 6-foot frame. The MX-style bar is also adjustable to accommodate more aggressive off-road stances, which is helpful for either taller riders or those standing up for most of the day.
The footpegs are well-positioned for my 34-inch inseam and height, contributing to an ideal rider triangle and relaxed riding posture. The pegs also arrive with rubber inserts that dampen vibrations at highway speeds, enhancing comfort over long distances. These inserts can be quickly removed to switch to grippier cleated pegs for better control while off-roading.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce’s windscreen is not adjustable.
And although I wore a peaked Arai XD-4 helmet, I didn’t experience major head buffeting – just some minor shakes at the top of 6th gear. The fairing and two-piece windscreen that’s split in the middle (but is not adjustable) optimize the airflow around the body.
MV Agusta Enduro Veloce: Other Highlights
In keeping with MV Agusta’s motto of creating “motorcycle art,” the Enduro Veloce has distinctive LED headlights. LEDs are also used for the turnsignals, taillight, and backlighting for the handlebar controls, a feature that would be handy during night rides.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has LED lighting all around.
Other convenience features include a keyless ignition system and the ability to connect mobile devices to the bike through the MV Agusta My Ride App, enabling navigation, communication functions, and sharing and tracking of ride data.
Remember the days of riding European motorcycles and worrying about frequent valve checks? MV Agusta fixed that issue, and the Enduro Veloce’s maintenance scheduling is streamlined. You won’t have to worry about valve checks until 18,600 miles. MV recommends oil changes every 4,600 miles and spark plug and air filter replacements every 9,300 miles.
MV Agusta Enduro Veloce: The Final Tally
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce marks a bold entry into the adventure-touring market, blending MV’s rich racing pedigree with modern technological ADV advancements. Its form follows function, delivering both style and performance on twisty mountain roads and rugged trails.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce has four ride modes: Off-Road, Urban, Touring, and Custom All-Terrain.
From the 931cc Triple’s thrilling power delivery to the sophisticated electronics suite and agile chassis, this motorcycle is designed to enhance the riding experience. The counter-rotating crankshaft and carefully tuned suspension system ensure the bike remains nimble and responsive, irrespective of the terrain, and its comfort and features make it a versatile machine. It is a great choice for riders who want a blend of style, performance, and exclusivity – the hallmarks of MV Agusta’s legacy.
The 2024 MV Agusta Enduro Veloce brings the company’s high levels of performance and style to the adventure segment.
Following on the heels of the luxury LXP Orioli limited-edition ADV, the 2024 MV Agusta Enduro Veloce joins the Italian brand’s lineup to compete in the ever-growing adventure bike segment. It features off-road-ready specs, technological conveniences, and Italian styling.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce pays tribute to MV Agusta’s racing history, namely the 98 ridden by Vincenzo Nencioni to victory in the “Golfo di La Spezia” off-road regularity race in 1946 and another MV Agusta victory three years later by Carlo Ubbiali in the British Six Days race.
The motorcycle is powered by a 931cc inline-Triple with DOHC and a counter-rotating crankshaft. The engine, which is designed and built at MV Agusta’s factory in Italy, produces a claimed 124 hp and 10,000 rpm and 75.2 lb-ft of torque at 7,000 rpm. MV Agusta claims that riders can harness up to 85% of the maximum torque at 3,000 rpm. Max speed is a claimed 143 mph, and the bike features an exhaust system that sounds closer to a superbike than a typical adventure bike.
The MV Agusta Enduro Veloce’s perimeter frame has a closed double-cradle design with a double-sided aluminum swingarm. Fully adjustable Sachs suspension includes a 48mm inverted fork and a rear shock with progressive linkage. Wheel travel front and rear is 8.3 inches, and ground clearance is 9 inches.
The seat height is 34.3 inches and can be lowered to 33.5 inches. Brembo Stylema 4-piston calipers gripping dual 320mm discs provide braking up front, and in the rear is a Brembo 2-piston caliper paired with a 265mm disc. The bike rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tubeless spoked wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Battlax AX41 tires.
The Enduro Veloce is equipped with quite a list of electronics for rider safety and convenience. The bike includes four ride modes (Urban, Touring, Off-Road, and Custom All-Terrain). Traction control comes with eight levels of intervention (five for road use, two for off-road use, and one for wet conditions), and it can be deactivated completely. It’s also possible to adapt the electronic response of the ECU based on whether the rider chooses to equip the standard Bridgestone Battlax A41 tires or swap them for the more off-road-oriented Bridgestone Battlax AX41 Adventurecross tires.
Engine braking provides two levels of intervention, and the bike is equipped with launch control, wheelie control, cruise control, and cornering ABS with two settings and rear wheel lift-up mitigation. Also included is the Electronically Assisted Shift quickshifter for up- and down-shifting. The bike comes with full LED lighting, keyless ignition, LED backlighting for the handlebar controls, and a 7-inch TFT display with Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity.
As can be expected of MV Agusta, style and aesthetic are given due consideration on the Enduro Veloce. MV Agusta has created the Enduro Veloce’s design at the brand’s style center and has put the bike through extensive riding tests and software simulations. For example, the front fender was designed to ensure aerodynamic efficiency, and the lines of the front end were designed to direct airflow to the radiator for cooling.
MV Agusta offers a range of accessories for the Enduro Veloce, including aluminum side cases, protection bars, a reinforced aluminum skid plate, additional lights, a Termignoni titanium exhaust, and more.
The 2024 MV Agusta Enduro Veloce will be available in Ago Red and Ago Silver, but pricing has not yet been announced. Visit the MV Agusta website for more information.
We’re at the 2024 American International Motorcycle Exposition (AIMExpo) in Las Vegas, where nearly 200 vendors from around the world are displaying the latest motorcycles and products to dealers, media, and other industry insiders. Here are 21 cool new motorcycles we’ve seen at the show.
In recent news, PIERER Mobility AG is capitalizing on the age-old colloquialism, ‘money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a motorcycle, which is kind of the same thing.’
Proof? In the pudding, of course; recently, KTM’s parent company bought a 25.1% stake in MV Agusta, calling the new connection a ‘strategic cooperation.’

The fine print included a purchase takeover by KTM, as well as two new Team Orange seats at MV Agusta’s board (via PIERER Mobility’s press release).
Now, the automotive industrial company has set their sights on CFMoto, claiming that they will “take over distribution of 11 CFMoto models in 5 lucrative European markets: Austria, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K, as of January 2023” (via ADVPulse).

All this movement comes richocheting off of last year, considered to be PIERER Mobility’s best to date: 332,881 motorcycles were sold in 2021, showing off a +23% increase from 2020’s numbers (270,407).
Currently, PIERER owns KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas; now that MV Agusta and CFMoto have hopped on the distribution bandwagon, we can expect a wider diversity of bikes in our local dealerships, with PIERER’s 2021 revenue (€2,040 million, up 32%) likely continuing to feed inspiration for new bikes in new places.
