Instead of collaborating with QJ Motors, MV Agusta goes it alone, developing a new 931cc inline-Triple for power and performance. The Schirrana, Italy, brand takes a different tack with the full-size Lucky Explorer 9.5. Despite the 5.5’s mid-size designation, MV equips the new ADV with a 5-inch TFT display and a 5.3-gallon tank.Īdvertisement MV Agusta Lucky Explorer Project 9.5 The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels allow novice off-roaders to venture onto the trail while the Brembo braking system optimizes safety in all conditions. The adjustable 43mm KYB inverted fork and fully adjustable KYB rear shock provide 5.3 inches of travel, 8.3 inches of ground clearance, and a 33.8-inch seat height. The Lucky Explorer 5.5 also caters to newer riders with a 484-pound dry weight. The 554cc parallel-Twin engine pumps out a claimed 46.9 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 37.6 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm, but the liquid-cooled, DOHC unit suits a broad range of riders with smooth power delivery and an accessible torque band. For the 5.5 trim, MV Agusta partnered with China’s QJ Motors to develop the mid-size adventure bike with performance and safety in mind. Though they fly under the same banner, the Lucky Explorer variants are very different machines. More than three decades after Cagiva’s first Dakar win, the MV Agusta Lucky Explorer Project revives the iconic name with two adventure bike variants, the 5.5 and 9.5. To capitalize on that success, the Italian marque adopted the Lucky Explorer moniker for the rally replica production model.
The Cagiva Elefant put Italy’s Edi Orioli on the top step of the Paris-Dakar Rally in 19. The MV Agusta Lucky Explorer Project 9.5 (above) is one of two adventure bike models, along with the Lucky Explorer Project 5.5, that MV Agusta unveiled at EICMA 2021.
