Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders comfortable with a light, sharp-reacting naked bike that rewards precise inputs.
PurposeBuilt for spirited road riding and canyon carving, delivering aggressive acceleration and razor-sharp handling rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider FitA low dry weight and compact dimensions make it easy to flick around, but the firm suspension and committed riding position demand some core and wrist engagement over rough surfaces.
CharacterAn intense, high-revving Italian triple with a raw, focused character that thrives on aggressive throttle inputs and tight corners.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking plush comfort, high-mileage touring capability, or any kind of off-road versatility.

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 2022 MV Agusta Brutale Rosso, 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.
