Positioned in MV Agusta's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2023 MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 5.5 features a 554 cc (33.8 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.9 HP (34.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 51 Nm (37.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 84.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Lucky Explorer 5.5 measures 220 kg (485 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.69 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,505 mm (59.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 526 km (327 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).
