Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders comfortable with a sharp, high-revving naked bike, though the actual power figure was not provided so this is based on the model's typical class.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and twisty backroads rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider FitA compact wheelbase and naked streetfighter ergonomics suggest an aggressive, forward-leaning riding position that favors shorter, more intense rides over all-day comfort.
CharacterAn Italian three-cylinder naked bike with a raw, characterful engine note and a chassis tuned for quick direction changes and precise cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking a plush touring seat, wind protection, or off-road capability.

2016 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2016 MV Agusta Brutale 800, 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.
