FEATURES
Captivating style, great temperament, engine technology par excellence, and a fanatical eye to detail. All these qualities have long been recognized in the both the 750 and 910 Brutale. Now imagine these properties dramatically enhanced by improved performance, stronger braking and the dynamic handling characteristics of a full race machine. This is the 910R — a motorcycle for everyday use that is capable of rewarding its rider with the behavior and riding sensation that is more in line with full race machines. The MV Agusta Brutale 910R keeps the same elegant lines of the S version, but includes several modifications that make it even more dynamic and aggressive.

THE DESIGN:

The Brutale 910R is characterized by a black/anthracite color scheme accented with a graphic red matching that of the valve cover.




The Brutale 910R is adorned with customized graphics that distinguish it from the 910S, including:
New R colour scheme
New 910R logo
Tachometer with new numerical scale and Brutale logo.
Rider and passenger seat made of “Pieni Fiore” full grain leather
Red valve cover
Anodised black fork uprights
Titanium treated surface applied to lower steering flange, fork, frame plates, and handlebar counterweights
THE EQUIPMENT:

The Brutale 910R is fitted with state-of-the-art technical systems worthy of a competition machine. This is clearly seen in the braking and suspension systems that differ from the 910S as follows:

Brembo Monoblock P4/34 radial brake calipers.
Aluminum 320mm Brembo discs
Radial caliper strut
Marzocchi USD 50 mm R.A.C. forks (Road Advanced Component.)
Brembo forged Aluminum wheels with Y spokes.
Racing exhaust with specialized Eprom
New hand-polished inlet ducts
THE SUSPENSION

The Brutale 910R marks the debut of Marzocchi USD 50 mm R.A.C. (Road Advanced Component) forks fitted to a production bike. These forks are the most prestigious item made by the Bolognese factory. They feature a multi-adjustable unit (13 compression settings and 32 for rebound) fitted with carbon nitride treated uprights designed for improved slide characteristics. The looks of the 910R also differ in the anodized stays that add to the individuality of this specific model. Rear suspension is looked after by a Sachs single shock absorber with rebound-compression damping and spring preload adjustment depending on a simple setting that distinguishes between the absorption of a high or low speed shock.

THE BRAKING SYSTEM

The MV Agusta Brutale 910R heralds the introduction of a Brembo brake system featuring radial P4/34 calipers that are customized with the Brutale logo. This billet alloy braking system, derived from competition Superbike and Moto GP machinery, has a strut to provide increased rigidity mounted on radial adapters made exclusively for MV Agusta. The enlarged 320mm discs with steel braking area and aluminum flange are also new. The rear brake remains an four-piston (opposed) caliper unit acting on a 210 mm disc. The Nissin-designed front brake and clutch levers are exclusive to MV Agusta and can be micrometrically adjusted. The Brembo forged aluminum wheels with Y spokes are an entirely new design and measure 3.50” x 17” at the front and 6.00” x 17” at the rear. Tires are 120/70 ZR 17 up front with 190/55/17 at the rear.




THE ENGINE:
The Brutale 910R is equipped with the most powerful engine of the Brutale range. Derived from the 910S EV, it differs by the following:

New inlet ducts hand polished
Racing exhaust
Specialized Eprom
PERFORMANCE:

The addition of polished intakes helps increase engine performance from the Brutale 910S, and when optional racing exhaust is installed, the Brutale 910R pumps out 144hp.
