The RR badge, until now reserved for only the best 4-cylinder MV bikes,now takes the in-line 3-cylinder range by storm. And it does so with the Brutale800 Dragster RR, a combination of power, style, superb chassis design andsheer brute force. In a class of its own, it lies beyond both comparisonand competitors. Because it is, even with its painstakingly crafted details,emblematic of a return to the essential. Pure thrills. Absolute exuberance.The Brutale Dragster 800 RR radicalises the “stoplight burner” concept

that MV Agusta reintroduced with the Brutale Dragster, a bike designed,quite literally, to be breathtaking. Every twist of the throttle, every releaseof the clutch, every gear change. One goal: to unleash all its horsepoweronto the tarmac. With the Dragster 800, MV Agusta pushed the envelope.With the Brutale 800 Dragster RR, MV Agusta pushes even farther.More horsepower. More electronics. An even more brazen look. You couldn'task for more.

When attention to detail brings limited-edit ion precision toproduction bikes. When performance bursts through theboundaries of logic. Then, and only then does MV Agusta addthe RR badge to a model. Top-drawer features, cutting-edgecomponents and radical design choices: a combination thatleaves no room for compromise. Every single MV Agusta isexceptional: an MV Agusta RR is the authentic essence of pure,electrifying riding pleasure.

Universally acknowledged as the modern benchmark for in-line 3 cylinderpower units, the MV Agusta engine requires no introduction: it is pureItalian technology at its best, energy that continues to evolve. In fact,MV Agusta has taken an already exemplary bike and fine tuned it evenfurther. Like every RR, the Dragster just “has to” offer something more.Hence the most powerful engine in its category. Developed from the 3-cylinder engine that powers the Brutale 800 and Brutale Dragster 800,this most recent 3-cylinder version unleashes 140 hp and puts out Super-bike-like revs (maximum power is achieved at 13,100 rpm), making theBrutale 800 Dragster RR not just uniquely eye-catching but also placingit beyond the reach of its competitors in the same segment. Don't wasteyour time looking: the only place you'll find another equally powerful

3-cylinder 800 engine is on another MV Agusta, the F3 800. To build anengine as light and compact as possible. To combine racing performancewith outstanding rideability. These were the goals that MV developers setfor themselves when they designed the 3-cylinder engine range: goalsthat the Brutale 800 Dragster RR engine achieves admirably. Weighingin at just 52 kg and being extremely compact despite the displacement,the in-line 3-cylinder engine optimises weight distribution while the counter-rotating crankshaft - a solution never before adopted on standardproduction models - enhances the dynamic performance of the Brutale800 Dragster RR. These are characteristics that make this engine the bestexample of Italian engineering excellence and one of the most advancedtriples in the world.

The constant quest for perfection in every detail has led to the developmentof a new hydraulic chain tensioner, which makes the engine both quieterand more reliable. For an engine that is not an F3 800 offshoot but theevolution of the 3-cylinder unit mounted on the Dragster, the configuration onthe Brutale 800 Dragster RR is the most powerful ever to go into production.

The 140 hp at 13,100 rpm are achieved in part because of the fully redesignedairbox and an optimised, more efficient exhaust system. Changes have alsobeen made to the electronic injection, which has an advanced six-injector system (two per cylinder, instead of the single injector used on otherBrutale models): a reshaped fuel tank interior provides the necessary spaceand keeps everything hidden from view.

The resulting power delivery is linear at low revs and explosive at high revs,giving the three-cylinder engine eye-watering acceleration, which ends onlyat 13,200 rpm when the rev limiter kicks in. Power is not the only thing tohave been given a considerable boost: torque has also been raised, from81 to 86 Nm.

Figures like that clearly illustrate the impressive individuality of this revampedMV Agusta 3-cylinder engine. The removable 6-speed gearbox was naturallymaintained - another solution taken from the racing world - with gearingspecially designed to provide staggering on-road acceleration and out-standing versatility even on the racetrack.

Further improvements are provided by the second-generation MVICS(Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) electronics platform. Characterisedby ever-more effective and accurate mappings, it combines the explosivepower of the 3-cylinder 800 with fuel-saving high efficiency. Clear evidencethen, of how the pursuit for performance has not overshadowed the questfor eco-friendliness or low operating costs.

Central to MVICS performance are the Eldor EM2.0 engine control unit anda Mikuni Full Ride-By-Wire throttle body. As on other 3-cylinder MV Agustamodels, the system lets the rider configure torque control on four mappings:three of them provide a pre-set combination of parameters (Sport, Normal andRain); the Custom mode can be set by the rider, who can adjust parameterssuch as engine response, rev limiter, engine torque response, throttlesensitivity and engine braking. Of course, the Brutale 800 Dragster RR wouldnot be complete without 8-level traction control, which can be disengagedand comes with model-specific mappings.

To handle all this extraordinary performance riders can now rely on the newQuickshifter EAS 2.0, which allows ultra-fast clutchless upchanging anddownchanging. In fact, for bikes in this category the introduction of anelectronic downshift control system is an absolute innovation. Down-changing is made even easier by the new slipper clutch, which improvesbike control going into bends. This is a key advantage not just on the trackbut also on the road.

The Brutale 800 Dragster RR measurements are the same as those thatmade the Brutale 800 Dragster the benchmark for naked sport bikes. Thewheelbase is 1,380 mm, with 95 mm of offset on the fork yokes. Tyre cross-sections also remain unchanged, with the eye-catching Pirelli Diablo RossoII 200/50 at the rear. The chassis structure employs a solution shared by onall the latest-generation MV Agusta bikes: an ALS steel tube trellis framewith integrated light aluminium profiles in the rear zone which acts as thepivot for the swingarm. This design choice, in addition to making MV modelseven more unique and immediately recognisable, effectively meets the dualneeds of providing adequate torsional stiffness and keeping overall vehicleweight as low as possible.

The suspension uses equally advanced and smoothly integrated components:more specifically, the bike now features a CRC steering damper that canbe adjusted to adapt performance to the road, the track or, of course, riderpreferences. The Marzocchi fork features upside down aluminium stanchions(43 mm diameter), now lighter and even more attractive thanks to the redanodizing; moreover, DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating enhances smooth-ness and maximises component strength. The 125 mm of travel is the same

as that on the adjustable Sachs shock absorber attached to the swingarm.The seat (811 mm high) and pegs offer the same widely acclaimed ergonomicsfound on the Dragster 800, along with specially customised heel guards.Incredible stopping power is provided by the all-Brembo braking system,which has a pair of floating front discs (diameter 320 mm) equipped with4-piston callipers and a rear 220 mm disc with a 2-piston calliper. The ABSsystem rounds out the package, ensuring safety and performance even onslippery or wet surfaces.

New features include the stunning spoked wheels, which immediatelydistinguish the Brutale 800 Dragster RR from any other model: skilled useof anodizing, perfect assembly by hand, a great colour scheme - with blackor white rims - make this component the focal point of the beefy yet classycoolness that this new MV Agusta exudes.

Dedicated graphics and a flawless finish - as highlighted by the multiplelayers of paint usually reserved for high end vehicles in the car industry -further emphasise the uniqueness of the Brutale 800 Dragster RR. Brute force. Panache. Charisma.
