Motorcycle specifications MV-AgustaBrutale 1090 2017 The beginnings of violence

no Euro4 upgrades planned for the 1090 Brutale, but that doesn't stop MV from keeping it in the catalog for 2017. And to provide choice for the sensation-hungry biker. 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 daring will opt for the RR, while thrill-seekers 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 accessible price (for an MV), the "basic" 1090 dispenses with a few cosmetic refinements, but benefits from the same engine as the ex-R. The rider can thus 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.
