Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the specifications provided are actually for the MV Agusta Dragster RR, not the Brutale 800 RR, though the two share a very similar triple-cylinder platform; this profile is built from those figures and best suited to experienced riders confident wi
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad blasts, trackday fun, and showing off Italian styling, rather than utilitarian commuting or distance touring.
Rider FitA compact, light, low-mass machine that rewards active body positioning and a firm grip, with a seat height and reach that suit average-to-taller riders more than shorter ones.
CharacterFiery, high-strung, and intensely engaging, with a screaming inline-triple and razor-sharp chassis that demands respect and rewards precision.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, those wanting plush all-day comfort, or anyone planning serious two-up touring or off-road use.

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 2020 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR, 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.
