MV Agusta, the maker of the most beautiful sport bikes and hyper nakeds, has recently ventured into the realm of adventure bikes with the LXP Orioli. This motorcycle derives its inspiration from the golden era of rally racing, and rightfully so, is named after the Dakar legend, Edi Orioli. At first glance, the MV Agusta LXP Orioli seems like a promising adventure bike, but MV Agusta claims this bike is the world’s first all-terrain luxury vehicle. One might argue otherwise, considering how far full-size ADVs have come in 2023, but what the bike does promise is an unparalleled MV Agusta experience that can finally go off-roading.
This is a special edition bike that will be produced in limited numbers, and each bike will come with some awesome goodies and Orioli’s original signature. It also gets awesome race-spec brakes and beefy suspension! Since it’s an MV Agusta, it’s gotta be gorgeous, but will its underpinnings deliver as well as its design? Let’s take a quick look at the 2024 MV Agusta LXP Orioli and explore what the bike has to offer.
10 Equipped With “Special” Standard Equipment
The MV Agusta LXP Orioli is not a standard adventure bike by any means, and even MV Agusta refers to it as a luxurious adventure bike. So, it’s not a surprise that it comes packed with special features as standard equipment. These components make the LXP Orioli ready to hit the highways as soon as it leaves the showroom floor, so make sure you pack your luggage when you head to get the delivery of this bike.
Standard Equipment
- Adjustable-height seat
- Edi Orioli’s signature — not a sticker, a real signature
- Side panniers with 32L + 39L capacity
- Center stand
- Racing skid plate
- Takasago Excel tubeless spoked rims with aluminum hubs
- Crash bar
- LED auxiliary lights
9 A Racing Kit For The Luxury ADV
Who was ever satisfied with a stock ADV? If you think your rare ADV is not special enough, you also get the Dedicated Kit for your MV Agusta LXP Orioli. This racing kit doesn’t include a lot, but it seems totally worth it. Our favorite bit of the Dedicated Kit box would be the Termignoni 3-exit titanium slip-on exhaust with carbon fiber heat shield and end cap, saving more than 8 pounds. You also get a bike cover and a certificate of authenticity — just in case anyone asks if your MV Agusta is a souped-up KLR.
8 Comfort For Days, On- And Off-Road
Seat Height: 33.46″ to 34.25″
The LXP Orioli is a luxurious adventure bike, so our expectations are high when it comes to comfort. According to the brand, the LXO Orioli has an optimized ergonomic triangle that offers agility and stability in a variety of riding conditions, on- and off-road. Thanks to the adjustable seat height, most riders will enjoy complete foot contact, and the windshield is aerodynamically designed to stream air over your shoulders and helmet.

7 Luxurious Electronics Suite
You may not see the “luxury” in many aspects of the 2024 MV Agusta LXP Orioli, but one area where the bike exudes the utmost luxury is in its comprehensive electronics package. For starters, the bike features a new-gen 7” TFT display with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with the MV Rider App and MV Green Box, featuring anti-tampering, trip logbook, remote diagnosis, alarm management, and real-time tracking. There are also LED backlit handlebar controls.

6 Aerodynamics For The Long Haul
Aerodynamics is not something you think of when looking at an adventure bike, but MV Agusta likes to do things differently. Thus, the brand has designed the luxury adventure bike with aerodynamics in mind, but instead of focusing on high-speed performance, the focus here is comfort. According to MV Agusta, the fairing and the windshield are designed to cut through the wind, reducing turbulence and noise you would otherwise face on your head, shoulders, and legs. Even the heat deflectors are designed to channel the hot air from the engine away from you.
