Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a demanding, high-strung naked bike best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with aggressive power delivery and sharp handling.
PurposeBuilt as a limited-edition, race-flavored streetfighter for spirited road riding and canyon carving rather than any form of utility or distance travel.
Rider FitThe low, compact riding position combined with a firm suspension and light 168 kg dry weight rewards an active, engaged riding style but can feel harsh over rough pavement.
CharacterA fierce, exclusive, and visually striking machine with a race-derived triple engine character, aimed at riders who want exclusivity and performance over practicality.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good choice for new riders, long-distance tourers, passenger comfort seekers, or anyone wanting a relaxed, low-maintenance commuter.

2017 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR LH44 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 811mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR LH44, 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.
