Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-strung, powerful naked bike best suited to experienced riders comfortable with aggressive throttle response and quick steering.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited road riding and canyon carving rather than commuting or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe compact, sporty riding position and firm suspension demand decent core strength and tolerance for a forward-leaning stance during longer rides.
CharacterA fierce, characterful Italian naked bike with race-derived four-cylinder punch and sharp, precise handling that rewards an assertive riding style.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, those seeking plush comfort, or anyone planning frequent two-up or off-road use.

2008 MV Agusta Brutale Gladio 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 Gladio, 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.
