Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive power delivery and a hyper-responsive chassis.
PurposeBuilt for adrenaline-fueled backroad blasts, canyon carving, and city-street theater rather than distance covering.
Rider FitThe compact, low-mass frame and radical ergonomics demand an active riding style and reward a fit, engaged rider.
CharacterIt has a raw, snarling, street-fighter personality that feels eager, edgy, and always spoiling for a fight with the next corner.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking plush comfort, long-haul touring range, or a relaxed, forgiving commuting experience.

2015 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
