MV Agusta Rivale 800. Unique both in design,
performance, and absolute riding satisfaction. Unquestionably MV Agusta,
Rivale 800 enters a new market segment to go where only emotions
dominate. This extraordinary motorcycle boasts performance figures that
leave little to the imagination: 170 kg, 125 hp.
The unrivalled visual identity has been extended to
every component and every surface of this machine. The MV Agusta Rivale
800 is a result of passion, experience, and inspiration to capture the
essence of what is truly representative of our historic brand. It
further expands upon our range with a new, eclectic interpretation of
our modern three-cylinder engine that debuted on the F3 675 and also
equips the Brutale 675 and 800 alongside the renewed four-cylinder
family F4 and Brutale.
The Rivale 800 exudes an emotive design from every
angle. Dominating the road with its mix of harmonious and "discordant"
lines, tense yet voluptuous, bordering on futuristic whilst retaining
synergy with our past. Volumes are perfectly balanced, containing areas
that draw your eye to an incredible level of attention to detail. A
sculptural composition where the engine and the chassis are always at
the focal point. The front-fairing is compact and discreet yet able to
characterise the front ends exuberant personality. Three elements, the
mudguard, the side panels and the fuel tank are individually united to
form a strong visual shield graphic that makes this machine instantly
recognisable. Singularly MV Agusta. The middle section is reduced to the
physical limits and designed to promote an unhindered riding style
allowing the rider maximum freedom of movement on a sufficiently large
and ergonomically considered saddle. The rear is elegant, sinuous, yet
incisive and characterised by twin trailing-edge floating blade lighting
incorporating light guides to accentuate the rear profile. At the front
LED/light guide technology is used in a similar fashion to highlight
the profile of the vehicle while reducing visual width. This solution
offers an absolutely distinctive identity while increasing the
visibility and consequently passive safety. The three-dimensional amber
turn signals are perfectly integrated into the beautifully designed hand
guards. The rear side lights and brake lights are housed in two
separate elements, while the direction indicators have been placed on
small "dynamic" wings, which relate to the various number plate
dimensions. The rear view mirrors are designed to be effective and
integrate seamlessly into the design of the bike. They are retractable,
for sporty driving on closed roads or on the track, and when open are
also telescopic to improve and increment rear visibility.
The dashboard has been designed specifically for Rivale
800 featuring a modern "monochrome" fully digital, multi-function
display. It is compact to optimise the front fairing proportions yet
remains perfectly legible while offering maximum availability of
information and parameters.
Chassis and engine are once again protagonists. A
perfect combination of fine engineering excellence portrayed in a mix of
sculptural beauty, mechanical purity, functionality, and total
performance. Three cylinders, define the agile, swift, dynamic soul of
the new Rivale 800; Beyond imagination. Compactness is an obligatory,
aside from technological excellence. Our goals have been achieved and
far exceeded. The three-cylinder in-line Rivale 800 boasts a
counter-rotating crankshaft that debuted on our Supersports F3 675: a
unique solution for a road based machine that epitomises MV Agusta's
racing spirit. Technology MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control
System) allows for performance, smoothness of power delivery, ease of
riding and extreme personalization, with three engine maps and a custom
default. The Custom setting permits complete freedom to suit the
personal requirements and preferences of the rider. The throttle control
is Full Ride-By-Wire.
The frame is our signature MV Agusta philosophy. The
front section is comprised of a steel trellis combined with a rear of
two aluminium alloy plates, that act as a fulcrum for the sculpted
single sided rear swingarm and suspension. The dimensions of the chassis
have been redefined to ensure incredible handling: the angle of the
steering head is half of a degree more open than the Brutale 800. The
excursion of the fork and shock have also been increased to provide more
comfort and conformity to the road surface. The suspension units are
respectively by Marzocchi and Sachs. They are adjustable in spring
preload as well as hydraulic compression and rebound damping.
As on every MV Agusta, the braking system uses the best
products to achieve outstanding performance. The pair of front 320 mm
diameter discs are gripped by twin four-piston Brembo radial callipers.
The rear is comprised of a 220 mm diameter disc mated to a two-piston
calliper.
