Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an extremely potent, high-strung superbike-engined naked that demands an experienced, confident rider comfortable with explosive power delivery.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive sport riding, canyon carving, and track days where its 208hp inline-four and razor-sharp chassis can be fully exploited.
Rider FitThe aggressive naked riding position, firm suspension, and high seat height favor taller, fitter riders and can become tiring on longer rides.
CharacterA raw, adrenaline-focused Italian exotic that prioritizes outright performance, exclusivity, and visceral engagement over practicality.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good choice for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed long-distance touring companion.

2022 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2022 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
