Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an aggressive, high-power naked bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a strong power-to-weight ratio and sharp handling.
PurposeBuilt for spirited road riding and canyon carving, delivering supercar-like acceleration and razor-sharp cornering ability in a naked bike package.
Rider FitThe compact riding position, firm suspension, and high seat height demand an active, engaged riding style rather than a relaxed posture.
CharacterA fiery, exotic Italian streetfighter that rewards confident throttle inputs with explosive four-cylinder performance and striking design presence.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, off-road use, long-distance touring comfort, or anyone seeking a low-maintenance, easygoing commuter.

2012 MV Agusta Brutale RR 1090 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 2012 MV Agusta Brutale RR 1090, 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.
