2023 MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 5.5: DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO TRAVEL.
Introducing the 2023 MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 5.5…
The Lucky Explorer concept goes far beyond the proposal of new models. It is a symbolic container of emotions, memories and all that Schiranna production offered riders in the 80s and 90s, ready to guide enthusiasts into the future by combining the real world with the opportunities afforded by the virtual world of social media. The project envisages two brand-new bikes, the 9.5 and the 5.5, with the latter, a baby adventure inspired by the heritage of the Elefant, set to be launched in February 2023. Although a mid-sized bike, it looks bigger. Designed for those who love to travel, it is more than able to win over the European rider who seeks adventure.
CONCEPT OF LUCKY EXPLORER
Suddenly, they made our dreams come true. It was the 1980s and with Paris-Dakar, we realised that driving doesn’t end when the asphalt does. Two wheels opened up the doors to infinity. We discovered that we can travel thousands of kilometres through nothing, push the limits of ourselves and our bike, find our way by looking at a road book held together with an elastic or repair an engine with our bare hands in the middle of the night.
All of this has become a part of us. And today we’re bringing it back to life. Two models to revive the spirit of adventure that marked an age. And reclaim our freedom, on everyday roads.
LUCKY EXPLORER INSIGHTS
Today you can ride this promise. You can choose a bike that is made to go very far. Or a bike that is closer, friendly. Both have a past that has grown your wanderlust. And a present that screams at you to face the next horizon. In common, a logo, bringing back memories of great feats. From undisputed queens of Eicma 2021, capable of filling pages of newspapers around the world, the 5.5. and 9.5 models are now ready for an exciting new adventure to be told. Wear your helmet…. it’s time to take back your freedom.

TOP CASE
Lucky Explorer is synonymous with a world of emotions, memories and values. It is a way of being. A return that off-road fans have been eagerly awaiting, but also a new start and a leap into the future, as confirmed by the thousands of followers who have already shown their loyalty to the luckyexplorer.official Instagram profile. The first bike on the Lucky Explorer schedule to enter production is the 5.5, which offers the perfect interpretation of MV Agusta family heritage. The most advanced technologies are decanted into this model but without ever losing sight of the primary goal, or rather to create a mid-sized model that is potentially unbounded, able to take on any kind of terrain or route with ease.
Development of the smaller 5.5 is now complete and the model is ready to arrive in dealerships starting in February 2023, positioning itself as the entry level in terms of its engine size and cost, but flaunting a particularly high level of quality for the segment in which it places. The 5.5 stands out for a design that is not just a symbolic reference to the Elefant, two-time winner of the original Dakar, which would begin in Paris on 1 January and conclude in Senegal after crossing scree, desert and savannah.
Various details of the 5.5 have been refined along the path to industrialisation. Designed in CRC and developed with partner QJ, it retains all the spirit of the Elefant family and serves as the gateway model to the new Lucky Explorer family, just as the 350 paved a way to the world of twin-cylinders in the 1980s. A mid-sized bike, it nevertheless looks bigger, with style details and graphics that directly recall the dakarian models of the past.
The base model has been significantly updated in its electronics, mechanics and chassis, with the Schiranna technicians striving for very particular specifications. The engine, a liquid-cooled in-line twin with double overhead camshaft, has been revised with the aim of further increasing an already impressive level of performance. Displacement reaches 554 cc (with 70.5 mm bore and 71 mm stroke) for a torque curve that is even more robust with respect to the point of departure, ensuring full, regular delivery at all speeds. The electronics have also been optimised to ensure the best compromise between performance and safety.
The graphics white colour scheme with stylised Lucky Explorer logo, has been customised with superstructures and other essential elements to underline the family’s style stamp with specially designed light clusters. It shares its style influence with the 9.5 and is clearly inspired by the legendary desert races, but the 5.5 still has many exclusive characteristics of its own. With its distinct personality, this model proudly lays claim to a technical, conceptual and aesthetic identity that will allow it to stand out on an increasingly crowded landscape of mid-sized twins with an adventurous vocation.
