Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-strung, aggressive naked bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with sharp power delivery and a supersport-derived triple engine.
PurposeBuilt for spirited backroad blasts and trackday-style cornering thrills rather than practical commuting or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe compact, lightweight chassis and firm suspension demand an active riding style, with a forward-leaning stance that can tire out taller or less flexible riders over long stints.
CharacterRaw, exotic, and razor-sharp, it rewards precise inputs with explosive acceleration and knife-edge handling that feels more like a road-legal race bike than a everyday roadster.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for new riders, pillion-focused riders, or anyone wanting a plush, long-haul touring companion.

2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR Pirelli 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 2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR Pirelli, 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.
