The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR has often been criticized due to its over-the-top looks and menacing power.

Despite being labelled as a naked motorcycle, the Brutale 1000 RR is deemed too extreme and lacks the level of comfort needed as a daily commuter.

Moreover, with a price tag of around EUR34,000 (RM170k), the Brutale 1000 RR is rarely considered as a top choice two-wheeler on everyone’s mind.

Nonetheless, the Italian manufacturer intends to do something about it by introducing the Brutale 1000 RS, claimed to be a “softer” version of the current RR.

Based on newly published European type-approval documents, the RS will offer better riding ergonomics thanks to wider and straighter handlebars.

The new variant will also come with a different suspension setup to be better suited for the road.

However, it will retain the same F4-derived powerplant capable of producing 205hp @ 13,000rpm and 117Nm @ 11,000rpm.

Suzuki dan MV Agusta bakal menghangatkan EICMA edisi ke-78 tahun ini dengan masing-masing telah pun mengesahkan penyertaan.

Suzuki bakal sertai dua pengeluar motosikal gergasi Jepun lain, Yamaha dan Honda yang sebelum ini telah pun mengesahkan penglibatan lebih awal.

Menariknya, Suzuki akan menggunakan pendekatan teknologi bagi membenarkan pengunjung mengakses model 2022 dengan lebih terperinci di samping melihat dengan lebih dekat model baharu dengan jarak yang lebih selamat.

“EICMA merupakan pameran yang menakjubkan untuk semua yang terlibat dalam industri motosikal.

“Acara di Milan ini merupakan platform tepat untuk setiap pengeluar, terutamanya dalam tempoh sekarang,” jelas Pengarah Divisyen Motosikal dan Marin Suzuki Itali, Paolo Ilariuzzi.

Turut mengesahkan penglibatan adalah MV Agusta yang akan turut serta mengujakan pengunjung dengan model baharu sepertimana didedahkan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Timur Sardarov.

“Pameran di Milan adalah peluang yang kami tidak akan lepaskan.

“Ini adalah pameran yang membenarkan kami berkongsi gaya dan kekuatan jentera buatan Itali, yang menggabungkan teknologi dan kejuruteraan ‘avant-garde’ serta pengalaman lebih 75 tahun.

“Tahun ini kami tidak akan gagal dalam membuat kejutan untuk semua peminat,” ujarnya.

EICMA 2021 dijadualkan akan berlangsung di Milan pada 23 hingga 28 November ini.

Schiranna-based motorcycle company MV Agusta will return to the 2021 EICMA in Milan.

The confirmation will see MV Agusta taking part in the 5-days exhibition scheduled to take place from November 23 to 28 in the pavilions of Fiera Milano.

According to Timur Sardarov, CEO of MV Agusta Motor, the 2021 EICMA is to look out for this year.

“The Milan show is an unmissable fixture for MV Agusta, a highly prestigious showcase in which to express the style and strength of our made in Italy products, made up of technology and engineering, avant-garde, but also of high craftsmanship and know-how acquired in 75 years of pure passion.

“Over the years, we have presented our most important innovations to the world at EICMA, and this year too we will not fail to surprise our fans and the industry experts,” he said.

MV Agusta now joins Honda and Yamaha alongside Suzuki for the 2021 EICMA.

How to put a word out there that your new motorcycle has one of the best touring capabilities?

Well, take it for a ride across 11 countries within 24-hours.

That is exactly what MV Agusta just did with their all-new Turismo Veloce, who just set a motorcycle world record by visiting 11 European countries in just 24-hours.

The bike was ridden by an Italian journalist, Valerio Boni, who also etched his name in the record books alongside MV Agusta.

Boni and the Turismo Veloce kick-start the event in Sweden before travelling through Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria before completing the feat at MV Agusta factory in Varese.

The journey took 2,003km, and the duo had to overcome torrential rain and some diversion along the way before eventually making it in time.

“Everything went according to plan, or almost. We reached our objective also thanks to the Turismo Veloce, which proved to be extremely reliable and comfortable, two qualities that certainly were key in this situation.

“The comfortable saddle, the good protection provided by the windshield, the absence of vibrations and the cruise control function are the most important elements that helped me ride the Turismo Veloce for 2.003 km in 24 hours across 11 countries. It was an unforgettable experience and a not too tiring one either,” explained Boni.

MV Agusta is attempting to get into the record books by crossing through Europe in just 24-hours.

According to MV Agusta, the attempt will see them hitting more than 1,931 kilometres, crossing Europe from Sweden to Italy.

Interestingly, the model that will take up the challenge will be the newly updated MV Agusta Turismo Veloce, with an Italian journalist, Valerio Boni, chosen as the rider.

“This long, epic ride across Europe will certainly be challenging for both rider and bike, but the 2021 edition of the Turismo Veloce, in its production version, has everything it takes to achieve the objective in the best conditions.

“Thanks to the Turismo Veloce’s onboard technology we will be able to share the adventure in real-time on the official website www.mvagusta.com,” said Boni.

The trip will kick off at Malmo in Sweden and to reach MV Agusta headquarters in Varese, Italy.

If successful, MV Agusta will set the record of the most countries in 24-hours, including Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Italy.

There was some serious rumour doing the round in 2020 concerning the Cagiva brand allegedly to be relaunch by MV Agusta, including the resurrection of the iconic Elefant adventure motorcycle.

At the time, Cagiva was rumoured to be relaunch as an electric mobility brand while the Elefant could be reintroduced under the MV Agusta badge.

However, according to the Varese-based company CEO, Timur Sardarov, that might not be the case as it appears that Elefant could become a brand on its own, focusing on adventure/off-road motorcycle.

“Cagiva is a brand that belongs to MV Agusta.

“Our marketing department is evaluating the possibilities of products with the Cagiva brand, and we are also considering whether to define Elefant as a ‘sub-brand of MV Agusta or as Cagiva Elefant.

“The decision hasn’t been made yet,” he explained.

Pengeluar motosikal Itali, MV Agusta, semakin meningkat naik dibawah kendalian Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif baharu, Timur Sardarov.

Sardarov, yang sebelum ini merupakan antara pelabur syarikat Itali itu, mengambil alih sepenuhnya MV Agusta pada 2019.

Sejak pengambilalihan itu, fokus MV Agusta adalah kembali menyusun struktur syarikat dan mula menangani isu kebolehpercayaan serta memperbaiki pengalaman pemilikan pelanggan.

“Antara ojektif utama adalah menyelesaikan isu kewangan syarikat dan kembali kukuhkan asas perniagaan dalam sektor industri dan komersil.

“Hari ini, objektif ini telah pun dicapai dan kami sudah mula meninjau masa depan dengan keyakinan yang lebih tinggi, disokong oleh kejayaan model baharu yang telah dilancarkan.

“Bagi tahun 2021, kami menjangkakan dapat mencapai pulangan lebih EUR100 juta buat julung kalinya dalam sejarah syarikat ini.

“Kami juga merancang melipat gandakan angka ini bagi tempoh tiga tahun akan datang,” jelas Sardarov.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, Sardarov mendedahkan pihaknya telah menyuntik dana besar dalam usaha memperkembangkan barisan motosikal sedia ada.

Pendedahan terbaru itu menyaksikan MV Agusta bakal sertai segmen motosikal pertengahan dengan model 500cc.

“Kami akan perkenalkan model 550cc dan 950cc. Kedua-dua projek ini akan mengambil masa antara 24 hingga 28 bulan dari sekarang untuk disiapkan.

“Tetapi model 550cc itu akan tiba terlebih dahulu,” tambah Sardarov.

Perkembangan terbaru ini sedikit sebanyak membuktikan permintaan motosikal segmen pertengahan semakin meningkat naik dengan rata-rata jenama besar lain, KTM, Husqvarna, Triumph, Aprilia sudah mula menghasilkan jentera antara 390cc-700cc. – Visordown

MV Agusta has since steadily re-organised its company structure thanks to its new CEO, Timur Sardarov.

Under his stewardship, the MV Agusta has shifted its focus towards improving reliability and ownership experience while putting in a significant investment in expanding the current line-up.

“One of my first objectives was to resolve the situation of financial stress that the company was experiencing and lay the industrial and commercial foundations for its growth. Today, these objectives have been achieved and we can look to the future with renewed confidence, comforted by the success our new models are achieving.

“In 2021 we expect to exceed 100 million euros in turnover for the first time in history, and to triple this figure within the next three years,” said Sardarov.

The Varese-based company is currently busy updating its current model to meet Euro 5 emission; however, Sardarov revealed they would soon turn its attention to enter a new segment, particularly the mid-range market.

“A 550 and 950 [will come]. Both projects take 24 to 28 months from now to complete. Perhaps the 550 could arrive first,” he added.

MV Agusta has just unveiled the updated 2021 Brutale 1000 RR ‘hyper naked’ motorcycle.

At a glance, it’s hard to pinpoint the changes on what remains to be one of the most bizarre yet extreme looking motorcycles in the market.

The updated Brutale 1000 RR looks virtually identical to the previous model, including the power figure, as it remains at 208hp and 116.5Nm.

Nonetheless, the 1000cc engine now Euro 5 compliant, which means despite the same monstrous power, it is now cleaner thanks to tweaked valve guides and exhaust system.

Like the recently launched F3 Rosso, the Brutale 1000 RR now equips with cornering ABS by Contentinal incorporated into the Continental IMU for better handling and ride experience.

Riders will also appreciate the 5.5″ TFT cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation system and Mobistat tracker.

MV Agusta recently launched the F3 Rosso with the mid-segment triple-cylinder 789cc sports bike updated with Euro 5 engine for 2021.

However, the Italian outfit is scheduled to introduce the next generation F4 after dropping the latest hint via social media.

Scheduled to be revealed on June 3rd, the F4 is expected to remain with the same design scheme, chassis and power output but with some revision done to the engine to meet the Euro 5 regulations.

 

We could also see some new features found on the F3 that will be brought on the F4, such as 6-axis IMU inertial platform, TFT dash with Bluetooth connectivity, and enhanced riding aid, including cornering ABS, lean-sensitive control, and front lift control.

Like its predecessor, the new F4 should be available in three variants, standard, R and RR, with the top-spec should receive Ohlins suspension and Brembo Stylema callipers.

More details on the upcoming F4 to be revealed on June 3rd.

MV Agusta telah melancarkan F3 Rosso 2021 yang merupakan ahli baharu bagi varian Rosso jenama motosikal Itali itu.

Meskipun tampak sama dengan generasi sebelumnya, namun jentera supersport segmen pertengahan ini tampil dengan pelbagai naik taraf terkini.

Fokus utama adalah bahagian enjin tiga silinder 789cc yang kini telah pun mencapai taraf Euro 5 namun masih mengekalkan 147hp pada 13,000rpm dan 88Nm pada 10,100rpm.

Menariknya, enjin ini menghasilkan tahap geseran lebih rendah hasil rawatan DLC (diamond-like carbon).

Sistem ekzos juga serba baharu daripada manifold hingga ke silencer dengan objektif utama memperbaiki saluran tork dan kuasa di setiap tahap kelajuan.

ECU juga telah dikemaskini dengan algoritma kawalan baharu yang menawarkan kawalan throttle lebih kemas.

Pada masa sama, penggunaan saluran radiator bi-directional juga meningkatkan tahap efisien sebanyak 5 peratus.

Antara ciri lain yang turut dinaik taraf:

  • sistem quikshifter generasi ketiga
  • platform IMU 6-axis
  • ABS dengan fungsi cornering
  • traction control
  • front lift control
  • paaran TFT 5.5″
