Rider Profile

Best For	This bike demands an experienced rider who is comfortable with explosive power delivery and razor-sharp handling.
Purpose	Built for aggressive sport riding, canyon carving, and thrilling backroad blasts rather than utility or distance work.
Rider Fit	The high seat height, aggressive riding position, and low-slung weight distribution suit taller, fitter riders comfortable with a forward-leaning stance.
Character	A raw, muscular naked bike with a screaming inline-four heart, Italian styling flair, and a temperament that rewards confident, committed inputs.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for new riders, those seeking plush comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring with a passenger.

Units

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2017 MV Agusta Brutale 1090, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
