Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a high-power, quick-steering naked with a light rear end and aggressive throttle response.
PurposeBuilt for spirited street riding, canyon carving, and short blasts of pure adrenaline rather than covering long distances.
Rider FitCompact and light at 167 kg dry with a low-ish 810 mm seat, but the fat rear tyre and firm suspension demand active, engaged riding rather than relaxed cruising.
CharacterA fierce, exotic-styled Italian street fighter that pairs a screaming triple-cylinder engine with razor-sharp handling and premium Brembo and Marzocchi/Sachs componentry.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting all-day comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or any kind of off-road capability.

2018 MV Agusta Dragster 800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 MV Agusta Dragster 800, 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.
