Admin Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 MV Agusta’s LXP Orioli is powered by a 931cc triple. (MV Agusta/) MV Agusta’s LXP Orioli adventure-touring class finally surfaced in its final form at EICMA 2023. The whole project has been vastly revised since KTM took control of the historical Varese, Italy-based make. Gone is the Lucky Explorer name reminiscent of the Cagiva Elefant that challenged the Paris-Dakar, replaced with a name that recognizes Italian rally champ Edi Orioli. And, in line with KTM’s new plans for MV Agusta, the 5.5 version powered by a twin-cylinder engine derived from the Benelli 502 has been scrapped. The new LXP Orioli is powered by the latest MV Agusta triple, a liquid-cooled 931cc DOHC engine designed and developed by Chief Project Engineer Brian Gillen. This 81mm bore and 60.2mm stroke has been fully refined to Euro 5+ emission standards and now delivers 124 hp at 10,000 rpm with 75.2 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. Numbers that confirm this new MV Agusta three is both powerful and flexible, perfect at home on an upper-class adventure model. Electronics informed by an advanced six-axis inertial platform that interfaces with the ECU to ensure performance and safety with four dedicated riding modes: Urban, Touring, Off-Road, and Custom All Terrain. Traction control comes in five levels: two street, two specifically for off-road, and one for rain. Engine-braking action is selectable over two levels. Cornering ABS has been specifically tuned to apply proper braking control both with road and knobby tires, and the system includes a Rear Wheel Lift-up Mitigation function.

(MV Agusta/) Infotainment and Bluetooth functions are controlled via a 7-inch TFT dash. MV Agusta’s Ride App offers a navigation system and a Mobisat geolocation anti-theft system. Cruise control is standard. An upper steel-tubing trellis frame integrates a full double-cradle lower section, and chassis components are top-quality by Sachs. A 48mm fork and a link-actuated gas-charged rear shock absorber are both fully adjustable and offer 8.3 inches (210mm) of wheel travel at both ends. Wheelbase is a longish 63.4 inches and steering geometry is an undisclosed rake that uses a 4.6-inch trail. Seat height is adjustable between 34.3 and 33.5 inches while ground clearance is a more than adequate 9.1 inches. Braking is handled by four-piston Brembo Stylema calipers matched to twin 320mm rotors. At the rear, a 245mm disc is squeezed by a twin-piston caliper. Only 500 examples of the LXP Orioli will be available. (MV Agusta/) Right now, the mighty MV Agusta LXP Orioli is planned for a 500-unit limited production run.
