Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable with an aggressive, high-revving in-line four and sharp handling responses.
PurposeIt's built for spirited road riding and canyon carving where its light trellis frame and strong brakes reward a committed, sporty riding style.
Rider FitThe 805mm seat height and firm, sporty riding position demand decent leg strength and flexibility, with a forward-leaning stance that can tire less fit riders on longer rides.
CharacterIt has the temperament of a fiery, exclusive Italian sportbike with naked styling, rewarding confident throttle inputs with sharp, visceral feedback.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for beginners, riders seeking plush comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or off-road use.

2008 MV Agusta Brutale America Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 MV Agusta Brutale America, 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.
