MV Agusta continues to expand its motorcycle range: after introducing theRivale 800, the emblem of motard-style sports appeal and ultra-dynamicroad performance, the new BBrutale 800 Dragster takes the very conceptof 'motorcycling passion' and makes it breathtakingly tangible. No meremeans of transport, a motorcycle is a symbol of freedom, of our needto get out there and explore and to savour mile after spine-tingling mile.Experiencing every single second of that freedom. The new BBrutale 800Dragster embodies and embraces the ambitions and dreams of every biker,making them nothing less than on-the-road reality. Thrills. Unforgettablemoments.

The 3-cylinder Brutale 675 and 800 have introduced countless riders tothat awesome buzz that goes with riding a high-performance naked bike.Outstanding ridability, power under constant control, lightness, great design,and exceptional value for money. This unmatched combination has madethe 3-cylinder Brutale a huge success. Now, the BBrutale 800 Dragstertakes a big step forward into the future, yet does so with an attentiveeye to the past. The most extreme Brutale ever is no fan of compromise:

irreverent and brash, it is essential, brusque, outspoken and irascible.Packing a powerful punch, the BBrutale 800 Dragster takes exhilaration toa whole new level. At the same time it draws on the ideas that shapedthe first 4-cylinder Brutale bikes, the very essence of the naked conceptand monuments to incomparable styling. Linking yesterday and tomorrow,the BBrutale 800 Dragster embodies both experience and intuition,symbolising motorcycling past, present and forever. Pure essence. Purethrills. 100% Brutale.

With consummate Italian craftsmanship, the BBrutale 800 Dragster re-evokesthe epic DNA of the “dragster” race bikes, specifically built to release theirexplosive power in the few seconds that separate clutch release from thechequered flag. Seconds as scorching hot as the rubber left smoking onthe tarmac. Seconds that speed by in the blink of a tachometer. In pursuitof unforgettable sensations.

The BBrutale 800 Dragster flings open the doors to the idea that freedomis attainable. On two wheels. Or even on just one.

Throttle wide open. Engine at the rev limit. The rear wheel spinning

relentlessly trying to gain traction, surrounded by a cloud of white

smoke, defenning tyre squeal, raw power, biting into the tarmac

and devouring it metre after metre. The MV Agusta Brutale 800

Dragster is all this and much, much more. It is motorcycling reduced

to the essence of pure riding pleasure. Emotional, freedom.

Engineering at the service of manufacturing efficiency: the 3-cylinderMV Agusta platform demonstrates how conscientiousness at the conceptand design stages can result in the development of completely originalmodels from the same, shared technological basis. The new BBrutale 800Dragster is no exception to that rule, once again highlighting the versatilityof the cutting-edge MV Agusta platform centred on the 3-cylinder engine- the power unit that has made the greatest developmental progress in itsmarket segment. The goals laid out in the project brief were highly ambitious:performance at the peak of their respective displacement categories (675and 800), maximum elasticity, low fuel consumption and a torque curvespread evenly across the entire power range. And unprecedented com-pactness: the three-cylinder MV Agusta engine, built to achieve all thesegoals, weighs just 52 kg, giving improved output flexibility and better loaddistribution on the axles, on both the new BBrutale 800 Dragster and theother models that already possess this feisty in-line 3-cylinder Italian engine.Key technical features include the shell-cast “closed-deck” crankcase with

integral bore liners; the need for compactness has also imposed fullintegration of the water and oil circuits and the respective service pumps.Just as significant - and exclusive - is the choice of counter-rotatingcrankshaft, a solution with origins in the racing world where ride responsive-ness has absolute priority, and the only judge of performance is the stop-watch. The counter-rotating crankshaft reduces inertia during changesof direction because it lowers that same inertia during deceleration; thisenhances handling, the excellence of which is already a built-in top-priorityfeature of the MV Agusta chassis set-up. Compared to previous 3-cylinderconfigurations, the one specially developed for the BBrutale 800 Dragsterfocuses on fast-response, linear power output, putting a mighty roar intothis roadster. The 125 HP power peak is reached at 11,600 rpm, whilethe maximum torque of 81 Nm comes at 8,600 rpm. Completing thishighly sophisticated package is the removable 6-speed gearbox, with ratiosdesigned to ensure awesome acceleration and a sports-category topspeed should the bike be unleashed on the track.

The new MVICS (Motor&Vehicle Integrated Control) injection-ignitionsystem features the very latest software and an engine control strategy firstimplemented, with great success, on the Rivale 800 and now extendedto the entire 3-cylinder MY2014 range. MVICS also features the EldorEM2.0 engine control unit and a Mikuni Full Ride-By-Wire throttle body.The fully integrated management allows, via the instruments and thehandlebar switches, easy adjustment of numerous user-settable parameters.More specifically, the system lets the rider configure the torque setting with4 different mappings. Three of these are set directly by the manufacturerand named according to the relative riding conditions (Sport, Normaland Rain) while the fourth leaves the rider free to define, within establishedlimits, all the individual parameters: engine response, rev limiter, enginetorque response, throttle sensitivity, engine braking. As one would expect,8-level traction control (which can be disengaged) is also included: therelative algorithms have been tweaked to perfection for maximum precision,a must on a bike such as the new BBrutale 800 Dragster as one of itsdefining characteristics is astounding acceleration.

The frame configuration, which has characterised the 3-cylinder platformsince its inception, features an ALS tubular steel load-bearing structure,supplemented by lightweight aluminium alloy plates. This combination formspart of that production flexibility concept which inspired the 3-cylinder projectand consequently allows the design of specially-developed frames for eachmodel without disrupting the underlying look or essence. Note that thissame set-up has characterised MV Agusta models since the launch of theastonishing F4: today's 3-cylinder Italian-built MV Agusta bikes offer up aneven more highly evolved version of the concept. The front, tubular sectionemploys a steel alloy with exceptional metallurgical qualities that, whileextremely lightweight, provides outstanding torsional stiffness, especially inthose areas most subject to stress, such as the steering head. The aluminiumalloy plates close off the structure at the rear and act as the fulcrum for thesingle-sided swingarm.

A compact wheelbase of just 1,380 mm, identical to that of the Brutale 800,strikes a perfect balance, ensuring both excellent handling and stability; the95 mm trail boosts the already outstanding front end performance, making

for enhanced ridability and bike control. Another eye-catching feature perfectlyin keeping with the BBrutale 800 Dragster design ethos is the attention-grabbing Pirelli DIABLO Rosso II rear tyre, having a width of 200 and ashoulder of 50.

The suspension system features fully adjustable units, allowing personalisationof compression and rebound settings, as well as providing a selection ofspring pre-load options. The Ø 43 mm upside-down Marzocchi fork offers125 mm of travel; the Sachs rear shock gives the single-sided swingarm -also in aluminium alloy - 125 mm of travel. The seat, with a height of 811 mm,has been redesigned to improve comfort and function: it also boasts acraftsman-like finish with stylishly stitched seams. The rider can also counton even more functional foot pegs and supports, and new heel guardswhich, just like the wheel rims, have been specially customised for the Dragster.Equipped with first class Brembo components, the braking system relies ona pair of Ø 320 mm floating front discs, equipped with 4-piston callipers(Ø 32 mm); the rear unit, instead, has a Ø 220 mm steel disc and mounts a2-piston calliper (Ø 34 mm).
