Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike rewards experienced riders who can manage a light, powerful, quick-steering naked with a sharp throttle response.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive road riding and spirited cornering rather than commuting comfort or long-distance touring.
Rider FitA low dry weight and compact dimensions make it easy to muscle around, but the firm suspension and forward-leaning stance demand decent fitness on rough or long rides.
CharacterAn Italian street brawler with an in-line four soundtrack, razor-sharp handling, and a premium, exotic feel that stands out from mainstream nakeds.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for new riders, pillion-heavy trips, off-road use, or anyone prioritizing plush comfort over sporty engagement.

2012 MV Agusta Brutale 920 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 MV Agusta Brutale 920, 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.
