Motorcycle specifications MV-AgustaBrutale 1090 2016 The beginnings of violence

the Brutale is available with two engine options: 3 or 4 cylinders. The roadster's beauty begins with the 675 and ends with the 1090. The glamorous will opt for the R, the daring for the RR, while those seeking to discover new emotions will be tempted by the standard version presented here. This Brutale 1090 replaced the 920 in the catalog, the latter being too close to the recent 3-legged 800.

for an almost affordable price (for an MV), the "basic" 1090 dispenses with a few cosmetic refinements, but benefits from the same engine as the R model. The rider can count on the 144 horsepower of an engine renowned for its character. An 8-step traction control system is there to avoid too many cold sweats.

with its trellis frame, bevelled exhaust pipes, monobars and large inverted forks, and a design to match, the Brutale knows how to please. More expensive but more muscular than the 920, this entry-level Varese roadster favors the essentials for a little less distinction. ABS is now standard on the Brutale. But how do you get such a racy machine to accept such a safeguard? By fitting a Bosch 9MP. An anti-lock braking system that's light, disconnectable and sporty. The choice is yours: Normal for road use, Race for racetrack use, or deactivated if you're feeling confident.
