(NAT) MV AGUSTA E-ENDURO EBIKES

Following its entry into the ebike space with the Amo series this time last year, Italian motorcycle marque MV Agusta is tapping into Dakar nostalgia for the launch of Lucky Explorer Project ebikes aimed at pedal-assist enduro and gravel riders.

MV Agusta first opted to revamp "the passion, the emotions, the values, the style, the gestures of men and bikes who made the history of racing in the desert and off road" at EICMA 2021 in Milan with the launch of the 5.5 and 9.5 Lucky Explorer motorcycle concepts.

And now the project continues with a pair of ebikes wearing Lucky Explorer livery in honor of the Cagiva Elefant V-twin 900 which brought home two grueling Dakar desert rally wins in the early 1990s at the hands of Edi Orioli.

The company says that the E-Enduro model "represents the synthesis of a tireless design and development work with the vision of creating a unique Enduro capable of offering breathless riding experience, user-friendly controls, first-rate performance and charm."

The full suspension off-roader – with a Fox Float suspension fork with 180 mm of travel and a Fox DHX2 rear shock with SLS spring and 230 mm of travel – is built around a full carbon frame and a Bosch Performance Line CX mid-mount motor producing 85 Nm (62.6 lb.ft) of torque and offering pedal-assist up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph).

The motor is paired with a Bosch Powerline 750-Wh PowerTube battery for up to 140 km (87 miles) of per-charge range, and the ebike also comes with a SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS 12-speed groupset designed for trail-riding flexibility.

It rolls on Race Face Next R31 wheels wrapped in Vittoria Mazza 29x2.6 tires, and stopping power is provided by Braking IN.CA.S 2.0 mountainbike brakes featuring a semi-floating 220-mm front rotor and a fixed 203-mm rear rotor.
