Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits intermediate to experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, powerful adventure machine and its off-road weight and height.
PurposeIt's built as a premium long-distance adventure tourer that can handle mixed on- and off-road routes with strong performance and electronic rider aids.
Rider FitRiders should be reasonably tall or confident with a high seat and substantial machine, as the 850-870mm seat height and adventure-bike heft demand good inseam and low-speed handling skill.
CharacterIt rewards riders who want a refined, tech-laden, three-cylinder adventure bike that blends sporty road performance with genuine off-road capability.
Not Ideal ForIt's not ideal for shorter riders, absolute beginners, or those wanting a lightweight, purely urban commuter motorcycle.

2023 MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 9.5 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2023 MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 9.5, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
