PurposeBuilt for fast, engaging sport-touring rides that mix twisty roads with long-distance comfort thanks to saddlebags and a windscreen.
Rider FitA moderate 850mm seat height and light 192kg dry weight make it manageable for most riders, though the sporty riding position rewards a fit, active posture on longer days.
CharacterA charismatic, high-revving in-line triple with premium Brembo brakes and adjustable suspension gives it a thrilling yet refined personality.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road adventures, novice riders wanting a relaxed cruiser stance, or anyone needing a budget-friendly, low-maintenance commuter.

2018 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 RC Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2018 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 RC, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
