Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-strung, powerful naked bike best suited to experienced riders who can manage a triple-cylinder engine spinning to 12,300 RPM with a very high power-to-weight ratio.
PurposeBuilt primarily for aggressive sport-naked riding and cornering thrills, with the innovative automatic clutch (SCS) adding everyday convenience without diluting performance.
Rider FitThe 830mm seat height and light 175kg dry weight make it manageable for most riders, though the committed, sporty ergonomics place noticeable weight on the wrists during longer rides.
CharacterFiery, exclusive, and boutique in feel, this bike rewards a rider who wants Italian exotic flair, sharp handling, and a distinctive engine note over outright practicality.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for beginners, off-road enthusiasts, or riders prioritizing long-distance comfort and passenger-friendly touring capability.

2020 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR SCS 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 2020 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR SCS, 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.
