2008 MV Agusta Brutale 910R

BRUTALE 910R: THE SHINING STAR

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.

Elegant lines, a powerful roar from the engine, rousing performance. Together, the power of 146 HP and the joy of a frame made to handle it, unite to restore the passion for motorcycling to what it should be. Power and road-holding in synergy on a motorcycle that is already a cult item. Class, finish, design. The matchless heritage of an MV Agusta admired the world over.

THE DESIGN:

The Brutale 910R is characterized by a black/anthracite color scheme and new for 2008 a Pearl white / Black combination, both accented with a red graphic matching the valve cover.

The Brutale 910R is adorned with customized graphics that distinguish it from the 910S, including:

New “R” colour schemes for 2008
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

Available color options:

Black / Anthracite Gray

Pearl White / Gloss Black

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 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
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
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.

FRONT HEADLIGHT

One of the numerous innovative characteristics of the F4 Brutale is its distinctive front headlight. Inspired by the best designs from the automotive industry, CRC designers have coupled advanced lighting research with their own superior design aesthetic, resulting in unsurpassed style and performance. Incorporating double parabolic curves, the lens of the headlight provide superior horizontal light distribution in addition to offering greater depth of field from the high beam.

AIR BOX

Relying on practical and racing experience, CRC designers have created a dynamic air box incorporating an internal filter strategically positioned to allow for optimized airflow and intake resonance. The aggressive design of the fuel tank is also intended to allow for unrestricted handlebar clearance and maximum control of steering. The Brutale air box is designed to work seamlessly with the sophisticated injection control system offering great performance while simultaneously minimizing environmental pollution in accordance with the highest global standards.

LINE

The Mv Agusta Brutale motorcycle line reveals once again numerous elements which evoke passionate emotions. The shape, which is so aggressive, yet at the same time relaxed; its surface, which varies between being angled and smooth, creates a bold contrast from its savage nature to the pure elegance of its countenance. Designers and project managers at Mv Agusta conceived and designed a unique bike. Its inimitable style and smooth handling, make the Brutale the world’s reference point in its class.

DUAL DIAMETER SLASH CUT SILENCERS

Manufactured in a satin matte-finish stainless steel with engraved Mv Agusta logo, the dual diameter slash cut silencers reinforce the unmistakable character of the Brutale. The evolutionary adaptation and positioning, both elevated and inclined, provides for tremendous ground clearance as well as ease of access and maintenance of the rear wheel.

FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE

Mv Agusta’s four cylinder engine is the heart of the Brutale, the only engine in the world to have radial valves. The engine has been subject to numerous modification to enable it to give the right amount of power to the Brutale’s use and personality. The focused redistribution of the Brutale’s low end power guarantees stunning acceleration and control, capably addressing the most challenging conditions.

DRIVING POSITION

Based on the Mv Agusta F4, the Brutale inherits its many significant and unique characteristics form numerous industrial patents which have distinguished Mv Agusta throughout the world’s markets. Mv Agusta has optimized and redesigned the F4 in nearly every technical aspect in order to recreate the most favourable driving position. As always, this is accomplished without sacrificing the aesthetics and technical style which makes Mv Agusta stand apart.
