Overview[edit | edit source]
MV Agusta Brutale 800 RC
The New Brutale 800 changes completely to remain loyal to itself,
and to its ability to amaze and conquer new generations of
enthusiasts. Style, engine, equipment and chassis are all called
into question again with the aim of creating the best Brutale of all
time.
Today, fifteen years after its first appearance, the New Brutale 800 is once
again taking on the future. Fully redesigned and yet still tied to its origins,
the New Brutale 800 is more effective on the road, delivers more efficient
performances and it is naturally more beautiful.
With a new take on its proportions, modelled on more sculpted shapes and focused
on the front end, the New Brutale 800 enhances the reinterpretation of the main
stylistic features, such as the elliptical shape of the headlamp, now a Full
LED, and the three-pipe exhaust, with increased shape and capacity (+ 3 liters).
At the heart of the new style, however, there is the futuristic frame of the
saddle chassis in light alloy, which blends in with the trapezoidal tank
(capacity 16.5 liters), integrated with the air box and providing greater
definition and aggression.
From an aesthetic point of view, the design of the New Brutale 800 reveals a
constant search for symmetry, also in the color, the creation of the footpeg
mounts, the ducts and the front headlight supports. Some of the brand new
features on the New Brutale 800 include its double saddle and concealed
passenger handles. The instrument panel has also changed, with a new handlebar
and the addition of the clutch pump and the related tank which raises the
quality of the area, thanks also to the renewed digital instrument panel and
electric switches
The RC (Reparto Corse) project stems from the long-standing bond between MV
Agusta and top-class racing. The extension of the range is a logical outcome of
that bond as it allows motorcyclists to choose models that are, technically and
stylistically, derived the MV Agusta bikes that compete in national and
international races. However, these are not mere replicas. They are, rather,
meticulously re-engineered bikes, designed to provide a perfect blend of dynamic
performance, personalisation and style. It should come as no surprise, then,
that the three-cylinder Brutale 800 RR joins the RC range.
Heir to the four-cylinder Brutale that created the naked supersport segment by setting new performance and style standards, this bike has already garnered outstanding market feedback, paving the way for a successful future. Compact yet comfortable, essential yet bristling with unique details, light yet capable of breath-taking performance, the Brutale 800 RR offers the perfect platform for an RC model.
The original in-line three-cylinder engine has undergone further development
since 2016, the goal being to improve power delivery while remaining within Euro
4 noise and emissions limits. Sweeping changes from the cylinder head to
mechanical chain tensioner, from camshafts to valves have further enhanced the
unique personality of the engine. A maximum power of 140 hp at 12,300 rpm and a
maximum torque of 87 Nm at 10,100 rpm place the Brutale 800 RC at the top of its
category.
Both
technology and style embrace the Reparto Corse ethos. The former is evident in
the kit that will be supplied with every Brutale 800 RC manufactured at
Schiranna. Only 350 bikes will be built, each with its own unique number
on the carbon fibre cover that protects the compact digital instrument cluster.
The end pipe and manifold, supplied by SC-Project and designed to enhance the
power delivery of the three-cylinder engine, underline the hi-tech pedigree of
the Brutale 800 RC while adding eye-catching style: the titanium and carbon
fibre end pipe body features an exhaust area protected by a perforated circular
guard that also acts as a heat shield. The kit includes a engine ECU mapped for
the SC-Project exhaust, boosting bike performance to an exceptional 150 hp at
12,800 rpm as well at dedicated traction control settings.
Styling is as per the entire RC range, inspired by the graphics and colors
of the F4 which has been successful in the World Superbike Championship.
Needless to say, the number 37 on the fairing pays homage to the racing history
of MV Agusta and its 37 world championship titles. Technical sponsors logos are
applied to various parts of the bike, featuring on the tank, side fairings,
sub-fairing and front mudguard. Pirelli provides Diablo Supercorsa SP tires as
standard (120/70 ZR 17 and 200/50 ZR 17) while the Reparto Corse wording is also
displayed on the forged, red-painted wheels, the same as those on the
prestigious F4 RC. The front mudguard spoiler, the rear mudguard, the tank side
panels and instrument cluster fairing are all made of carbon fibre. Exclusivity
is also evident on the seat, with both the rider and passenger sections sporting
dedicated RC graphics.
Standard equipment on the new MV Agusta Brutale 800 RC, of which a limited
edition of just 350 will be built, includes the Reparto Corse kit. Contained in
a beautifully crafted wooden case, it consists of the exhaust, engine ECU, Ergal
clutch and brake levers, bike stand and a certificate of authenticity.
REGULAR BRUTALE 800 Features
In-line 3-cylinder engine with counter-rotating crankshaft
MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) technology
8-level traction control
Composite steel trellis and aluminum plate frame for high torsional rigidity
Single-sided swingarm with adjustable rear monoshock
Upside-down adjustable 43 mm front fork
Racing-type radial front calipers
ENGINE
There have been changes in the engine too, with the latest development of the
three cylinders with counter-rotating crankshaft, to meet Euro 4 emission
standards, that is capable of delivering a maximum power output of (81 kw) 110
hp at 11,500 rpm. A record maximum torque, increased by 25% with 83 Nm at 7,600
rpm, with 90% of the value already available at 3,800 rpm.
In addition to the counter-rotating crankshaft, another unique feature is the
fact that the new Brutale 800 is the only one its category with electronic EAS
2.0 up&down gear shift. The slipper clutch is now hydraulically operated while
the eng
ine is managed by the MVICS system which includes integrated multi map Full
Ride by Wire in the traction control with 8 settings.
FRAME AND SUSPENSION
In terms of handling, the New Brutale 800 has a new frame with a wheelbase
that has been extended to 1400 mm (+20mm), and a trail that is now 103.5 (95mm
in the previous version). The ALS steel tubing frame is incorporated with light
aluminum alloy clamps in the rear area of the pivot of the single swingarm.
The Marzocchi fork has 43 mm diameter upside aluminum forks with a travel of
125 mm: which is 1 mm more than the Sachs shock absorber, which is tethered to
the single swingarm. The brake system is Brembo throughout, with a pair of 320
mm diameter front floating disks and brake callipers with four pistons, whilst
at the rear a twin piston caliper acts on a 220 mm disk.
The Bosch ABS 9 Plus completes the picture, guaranteeing safety and performance
on any road surface. From a safety perspective, the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso III
tires, fitted as original equipment for the first time ever on a standard
production motorbike, are an additional asset.
