PERFORMANCE. TECHNOLOGY. SOPHISTICATION.
2019 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RC:
Naked and charismatic, the Brutale 800 RC is everything but conventional. As fast as a fully-prepared race bike, it attacks the track and road with the same aggression. It’s the extreme naked.
THE NEW REFERENCE, EVEN MORE POWERFUL
Performance and riding pleasure: the uncompromised mission of the Brutale 800 RC, where RC stands for “Reparto Corse” (Racing Department). This naked is in fact the most race-focused of its kind.
The new reference, even more powerful
Born as a four-cylinder, Brutale was reinvented to become even better looking and exciting to ride. A success story, now reinterpreted by our racing department in the name of maximum performance.
Brutale 800 RC is an uncompromising bike, reminiscent of the most sensational and aggressive versions of the four-cylinder Brutale, a model that revolutionised the design of the middle-weight segment, also focusing on extreme performance. Its carbon fibre components stand out, including the front fender, the rear inner fender, the fuel tank side panels and the instrument cluster cover. The forged alloy wheels have a strong impact, unmistakeably red, to complete the racing colour scheme common to the RC range and made even more attractive by the technical sponsor logos
RC, as in ‘Reparto Corse’ (Racing Department), the place where the MV Agusta machines destined for racing are born. At the core of the RC range is one of the keystones of the MV Agusta philosophy: the belief that races are fundamental for improving factory production bikes. This is why the technological transfer from the track to the assembly line is as direct and as quick as possible. The RC range models include the sport naked Brutale and Dragster models, the eclectic Turismo Veloce, the F3 675 and F3 800 supersport bikes, and naturally, the exuberant F4.
After the extensive technical updates in 2018, particularly on the three-cylinder bikes, the 2019 RC machines confirm their extremely high-level of technical content.

MV Agusta 2019 RC Model Range
RC, as in ‘Reparto Corse’ (Racing Department), the place where the MV Agusta machines destined for racing are born. At the core of the RC range is one of the keystones of the MV Agusta philosophy: the belief that races are fundamental for improving factory production bikes. This is why the technological transfer from the track to the assembly line is as direct and as quick as possible. The RC range models include the sport naked Brutale and Dragster models, the eclectic Turismo Veloce, the F3 675 and F3 800 supersport bikes, and naturally, the exuberant F4.
After the extensive technical updates in 2018, particularly on the three-cylinder bikes, the 2019 RC machines confirm their extremely high-level of technical content.
F4 RC legendary project is at its evolutionary peak. Included with the F4 RC is a dedicated racing kit, including an electronic control unit with specific mapping and a titanium SC-Project single exit exhaust. These components allow the maximum power of the short-stroke four-cylinder engine to be increased (bore 79 mm – stroke 50.9 mm) with central timing chain and radial valve configuration from 205 hp to 212 hp. The technical features, which include Öhlins fork and shock absorber as well as advanced engine and vehicle management software, make the F4 RC bike the closest version to the one which raced in the World Superbike Championship. The 2019 colour scheme is entirely new, centred around a large black central area that shows the exposed carbon fibre on the fairing. Wheels, fuel tank and tail fairing favour red, with white and green areas which are proudly reminiscent of Italian craftsmanship.
F3 675 RC and F3 800 RC have the same livery that enhances the sleek lines and extraordinary compactness of a model born to provide the best on the track, in the race or on the fiercest of track days. Each limited edition F3 RC unit comes with a dedicated race kit that includes the titanium exhaust with SC-Project silencer, pipes and joints, the carbon fibre heel guard and aluminium mounting brackets. The dedicated electronic control unit is included in the kit along with the CNC machined brake and clutch levers in ergal, a sprocket to achieve maximum acceleration, a rear wheel stand and a bike cover. Each unit comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Dragster 800 RC best interprets the “drag racing” vocation that has made it famous. Thanks to its weight of just 160 kg, its 150 horses and highly effective chassis architecture, the Dragster 800 RC is a pure sport bike which finds its most fascinating side in the accessories package put together by the racing department. The spoked wheels in the standard package move over to make room for the highly popular nine-spoke design in lightweight forged alloy with an unmistakeable racing style. The technical sponsor logos decorate the essential fairing of the Dragster 800, along with the number 37 – the number of world titles won by MV Agusta.

The forged alloy wheels have a strong impact, unmistakeably red, to complete the racing colour scheme common to the RC range and made even more attractive by the technical sponsor logos
Turismo Veloce RC emphasises the sport DNA of a model that stands out for its conceptual originality in the touring bike segment. Its extreme versatility stems from unique and specific technical choices like the compact and relatively small displacement engine, the vehicle’s consequent light weight and the agile dimensions of the chassis architecture. All in a segment characterised by increasingly heavy and bulky bikes. Naturally, the Turismo Veloce RC is equipped with SCS technology. The abbreviation stands for “Smart Clutch System” and identifies the solution developed exclusively by MV Agusta for fully automatic clutch management. The Smart Clutch System lets you choose from two possibilities: operate the clutch manually using the clutch lever, or leave operation entirely up to the system, so you can focus exclusively on the ride.
2019 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RC Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
LEADING TECHNOLOGY
The Brutale 800 RC stems from the technical base of the RR version, with the addition of many advanced components. The bike is supplied with an SC Project exhaust, a dedicated ECU control unit and bike cover. Every Brutale 800 RC comes with a certificate of authenticity.
MORE POWER
The engine of the Brutale 800 RC is the same as the RR in-line three, but with the extra boost given by the Reparto Corse engineers who significantly improved its performance. Thanks to the SC Project exhaust and to the dedicated ECU control unit, max power increases to 150 HP.
LATEST GENERATION ELECTRONICS
The Brutale 800 RC features the latest evolution of the MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) with full multi-map Ride by Wire, four riding modes (Normal, Sport, Rain and Custom), 8-levels adjustable traction control, and “up & down” EAS 2.0 electronic gearbox connected to the hydraulic slipper clutch.
SAFETY OBJECTIVE
The latest generation, two-channel BOSCH 9 PLUS ABS is compact and extremely lightweight, two features that make it ideal for a sports naked. The RLM (Rear Wheel Lift-up Mitigation), regulates the action of the front brake in order to keep the rear wheel on the ground even under extreme braking conditions.
