2014 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800-2

Official pictures and details of the 2014 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800 have been revealed by the Italian manufacturer. To start with the new motorcycle was being referred to as the Dragster 800 until MV Agusta clarified in a statement saying “with consummate Italian craftsmanship, the Brutale 800 Dragster re-evokes the epic DNA of the ‘dragster’ race bikes, specifically built to release their explosive power in the few seconds that separate clutch release from the checkered flag. Seconds as scorching hot as the rubber left smoking on the tarmac.”

Propelled by the same triple pod 798cc engine tightly packed in a steel tubular trellis frame that powers the Brutale 800- the power and torque figures stand at a similar 125 bhp @ 11,600 rpm and 81 nm @ 8600 rpm. As mentioned in our earlier reporting, the 2014 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800 gets MV’s second gen MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) featuring three riding modes (Normal, Sport, Rain) with a fourth mode that can be rider customized. Also on offer is an eight-step traction control and Bosch9 Plus ABS system. Ride by wire throttle, an anti-wheelie system, cruise control and clutchless shift assist termed EAS 2.0 (Electronically Assisted Shift) have been offered as standard equipment.

Suspending the 2014 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800 are a pair of fully adjustable 43mm Marzocchi front forks and a Sachs spring preload adjustable rear shock with 4.9 inches of travel. Stopping power is provided by a 4-piston Brembo radial calipers mounted over 320mm dual floating discs at the front and a 220mm single disc at the rear. A chopped tail with a floating fender on the wide 200mm Pirelli Diablo Rosso II differentiates the Dragster from the standard Brutale.
