Aesthetics of Italy’s Madness, MV AGUSTA “BRUTALE/DRAGSTER 800”

Motorcycle & Industry

The Italian motorcycle brand MV AGUSTA has unveiled to the world the 2021 BRUTALE 800 and DRAGSTER 800, both of which include features that are more in line with current trends, such as new electronic control systems and compliance with EURO 5 standards.

The most obvious changes to the 2021 BRUTALE 800 and DRAGSTER 800 are the sharper LED headlights than the current models, and the addition of a 5.5" full-color TFT dashboard that can be connected to smartphones on the BRUTALE.

The LCD dashboard, which can be linked to a dedicated app, allows riders to look up information about the vehicle's power and remaining fuel level, as well as adjust personalized settings such as the engine, suspension and electronic control system from the phone.

 

 

Like the current model, the 2021 BRUTALE 800 and DRAGSTER 800 are available in ROSSO, RR, and RR SCS versions. The SCS version is also based on the automatic centrifugal clutch introduced by the manufacturer of the American parts "REKLUSE" and is a modified SCS (Smart Clutch System) clutch.

The SCS system monitors the engine speed, throttle opening, number of gears, number of front and rear wheel rotations, etc. to grasp the slippage of the clutch and the coasting condition of the rear wheels. Not only can the clutch be controlled from forward to stop. It will not stall, and unlike the more complex DCT gearbox, it retains the joy of controlling the clutch.

In addition to the above versions, DRAGSTER 800 also has a higher-profile RC SCS version, which comes standard with forged aluminum alloy wheels instead of RR wire spokes or ROSSO cast alloy wheels.

Not only that, the DRAGSTER 800 RC SCS also uses carbon fiber parts on the body. It is also affected by events such as Moto2 and Supersport. The motorcycle comes with a track-specific SC Project exhaust system. The maximum horsepower after the replacement can be increased to 150hp.

Both models are powered by a 798cc water-cooled four-stroke parallel three-cylinder engine with a six-speed gearbox and EAS 3.0 two-way quick-exhaust system, delivering 140hp at 12,300rpm (RR/RR SCS/RC SCS versions) and 87Nm at 10,250rpm. In addition, the MV AGUSTA not only passed the EURO 5 standard but also reached a safe top speed of 244km/h by changing the details of the engine's internal and exhaust system.

In terms of body structure and electronic control system, the front suspensions of both motorcycles are equipped with Marzocchi-made inverted front forks, Sachs mid-mounted single-gun rear shock and single rocker arm, and the braking system is naturally a full Brembo system; electronic control, including steering ABS, tracking control system, anti-floating control system, cruise control system, etc. should all be provided.

Other noteworthy changes are the adjusted chassis, which provides greater rigidity and better suspension action, and the New Model DRAGSTER 800 RR, which can be fitted with rear tires up to 200/55 wide, further improving handling performance.

In terms of motorcycle painting, BRUTALE 800 RR is available in two colors: shocking pearl red and metallic charcoal black, while DRAGSTER 800 RR is available in four colors: matte gray, matte metallic dark gray, matte silver, and matte metallic dark silver.
