2024 MV Agusta Enduro Veloce Review | First Look
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.
