When attention to detail brings limited-edition precision to
production bikes. When performance bursts through the
boundaries of logic. Then, and only then does MV Agusta add
the RR badge to a model. Top-drawer features, cutting-edge
components and radical design choices: a com bination that
leaves no room for compromise. Every single MV Agusta is
exceptional: an MV Agusta RR is the authentic essence of pure,
electrifying riding pleasure.
‹‹ 01
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 Brutale
800 Dragster RR, a combination of power, style, superb chassis design and
sheer brute force. In a class of its own, it lies beyond both comparison
and 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 release
of the clutch, every gear change. One goal: to unleash all its horsepower
onto 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't
ask for more.

Universally acknowledged as the modern benchmark for in-line 3 cylinder
power units, the MV Agusta engine requires no introduction: it is pure
Italian technology at its best, energy that continues to evolve. In fact,
MV Agusta has taken an already exemplary bike and fine tuned it even
further. Like every RR, the Dragster just “has to” offer something more.
Hence the most powerful engine in its category. Developed from the 3cylinder engine that powers the Brutale 800 and Brutale Dragster 800,
this most recent 3-cylinder version unleashes 140 hp and puts out Superbike-like revs (maximum power is achieved at 13,100 rpm), making the
Brutale 800 Dragster RR not just uniquely eye-catching but also placing
it beyond the reach of its competitors in the same segment. Don't waste
your time looking: the only place you'll find another equally powerful
‹‹ 03
3-cylinder 800 engine is on another MV Agusta, the F3 800. To build an
engine as light and compact as possible. To combine racing performance
with outstanding rideability. These were the goals that MV developers set
for themselves when they designed the 3-cylinder engine range: goals
that the Brutale 800 Dragster RR engine achieves admirably. Weighing
in at just 52 kg and being extremely compact despite the displacement,
the in-line 3-cylinder engine optimises weight distribution while the counterrotating crankshaft - a solution never before adopted on standard
production models - enhances the dynamic performance of the Brutale
800 Dragster RR. These are characteristics that make this engine the best
example of Italian engineering excellence and one of the most advanced
triples in the world.

The constant quest for perfection in every detail has led to the development
of a new hydraulic chain tensioner, which makes the engine both quieter
and more reliable. For an engine that is not an F3 800 offshoot but the
evolution of the 3-cylinder unit mounted on the Dragster, the configuration on
the 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 redesigned
airbox and an optimised, more efficient exhaust system. Changes have also
been made to the electronic injection, which has an advanced sixinjector system (two per cylinder, instead of the single injector used on other
Brutale models): a reshaped fuel tank interior provides the necessary space
and 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 only
at 13,200 rpm when the rev limiter kicks in. Power is not the only thing to
have been given a considerable boost: torque has also been raised, from
81 to 86 Nm.
‹‹ 04
Figures like that clearly illustrate the impressive individuality of this revamped
MV Agusta 3-cylinder engine. The removable 6-speed gearbox was naturally
maintained - another solution taken from the racing world - with gearing
specially designed to provide staggering on-road acceleration and outstanding versatility even on the racetrack.

Further improvements are provided by the second-generation MVICS
(Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) electronics platform. Characterised
by ever-more effective and accurate mappings, it combines the explosive
power of the 3-cylinder 800 with fuel-saving high efficiency. Clear evidence
then, of how the pursuit for performance has not overshadowed the quest
for eco-friendliness or low operating costs.
Central to MVICS performance are the Eldor EM2.0 engine control unit and
a Mikuni Full Ride-By-Wire throttle body. As on other 3-cylinder MV Agusta
models, the system lets the rider configure torque control on four mappings:
three of them provide a pre-set combination of parameters (Sport, Normal and
Rain); the Custom mode can be set by the rider, who can adjust parameters
such as engine response, rev limiter, engine torque response, throttle
sensitivity and engine braking. Of course, the Brutale 800 Dragster RR would
not be complete without 8-level traction control, which can be disengaged
and comes with model-specific mappings.
‹‹ 05
To handle all this extraordinary performance riders can now rely on the new
Quickshifter EAS 2.0, which allows ultra-fast clutchless upchanging and
downchanging. In fact, for bikes in this category the introduction of an
electronic downshift control system is an absolute innovation. Downchanging is made even easier by the new slipper clutch, which improves
bike control going into bends. This is a key advantage not just on the track
but also on the road.

The Brutale 800 Dragster RR measurements are the same as those that
made the Brutale 800 Dragster the benchmark for naked sport bikes. The
wheelbase is 1,380 mm, with 95 mm of offset on the fork yokes. Tyre crosssections also remain unchanged, with the eye-catching Pirelli Diablo Rosso
II 200/50 at the rear. The chassis structure employs a solution shared by on
all the latest-generation MV Agusta bikes: an ALS steel tube trellis frame
with integrated light aluminium profiles in the rear zone which acts as the
pivot for the swingarm. This design choice, in addition to making MV models
even more unique and immediately recognisable, effectively meets the dual
needs of providing adequate torsional stiffness and keeping overall vehicle
weight as low as possible.
The suspension uses equally advanced and smoothly integrated components:
more specifically, the bike now features a CRC steering damper that can
be adjusted to adapt performance to the road, the track or, of course, rider
preferences. The Marzocchi fork features upside down aluminium stanchions
(43 mm diameter), now lighter and even more attractive thanks to the red
anodizing; moreover, DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating enhances smoothness 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 ergonomics
found 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 with
4-piston callipers and a rear 220 mm disc with a 2-piston calliper. The ABS
system rounds out the package, ensuring safety and performance even on
slippery or wet surfaces.
New features include the stunning spoked wheels, which immediately
distinguish the Brutale 800 Dragster RR from any other model: skilled use
of anodizing, perfect assembly by hand, a great colour scheme - with black
or white rims - make this component the focal point of the beefy yet classy
coolness that this new MV Agusta exudes.
Dedicated graphics and a flawless finish - as highlighted by the multiple
layers 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.
