When you see any MV Agusta
for the first time, the beauty,
quality of the craftsmanship,
and attention to detail really get
your attention—and the Enduro
Veloce is no different. Sport
-
ing the traditional Ago red and
silver paint (a nod to
Giacomo
Agostini), the Enduro Veloce is
instantly recognizable as an MV
Agusta in these classic colors.
The bike is absolutely beautiful,
and while it rides on a very off-
road-oriented 21/18-inch front
and rear wheel configuration,
the thought of throwing such
a beautiful machine down the
trail on an adventure ride seems
ridiculous to me. That said, MV
is touting this bike to be just as
capable as its new cousin, the
KTM 890 Adventure R Rally.
Yep, that's right, not just any
KTM 890. The Rally version was
specifically noted as a com
-
petitor for the EV. (Other direct
competitors,
as noted by the MV
team, include the Ducati Multi
-
strada Pikes Peak, BMW R 1300
GS, and Honda
Africa Twin.)
To be fair, this new bike
comes equipped with very ca-
pable, fully adjustable front and
rear
suspension and enough
travel—8.27 inches front and
rear, and ground clearance of
nine inches—to make it at least
comparable to the 890 Rally.
The 48mm Sachs front fork has
adjustable settings for spring
preload, compression, and
rebound damping—and the rear
rides on a twin-sided aluminum
swingarm with a progressive
link and a Sachs fully adjustable
shock, which includes a hand-
adjustable spring preload knob,
accessible while sitting on the
P94
