Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a razor-sharp, high-strung machine best suited to experienced riders who are confident with explosive power and quick-reacting chassis.
PurposeBuilt for aggressive backroad blasts and trackday-style cornering thrills rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitIts low weight and compact dimensions make it easy to muscle around at low speed, but the firm suspension and tall, forward-biased riding stance demand an active, engaged body position.
CharacterA snarling, high-revving triple with race-bred electronics and aggressive naked-bike styling that rewards commitment with ferocious acceleration and razor-edge handling.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking plush comfort, long-distance touring ease, or any kind of off-road capability.

2019 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2019 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC, 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.
