Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a light, aggressive, high-revving machine that rewards precise inputs.
PurposeBuilt as an exclusive, limited-run naked hooligan bike for spirited street riding and canyon carving rather than long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low dry weight and compact dimensions make it easy to muscle around, though the firm sporty ergonomics and 830mm seat height demand decent leg reach and core engagement.
CharacterA fiery, exotic Italian triple with race-bred handling, sharp throttle response, and premium componentry that favors passion and craftsmanship over practicality.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, pillion-focused owners, or anyone wanting a plush, low-maintenance long-distance tourer.

2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 America 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 2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 America, 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.
