Motorcycle specifications MV-AgustaBrutale 1090 2018 The beginnings of violence

is MV allergic to the Euro4 standard? Not really, as the 3-cylinder F3s and Brutals have complied... but not in too much of a hurry. As for Varese's 4-cylinder motorcycles, no E4 evolution is planned. No matter how much the company advertises its investments and an all-new platform in the pipeline, nothing comes of it. However, the 1090 Brutale is still in the catalog, even more expensive, and eager to offer a stronger dose of adrenalin for confirmed bikers. 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: daring riders opt for the RR, while thrill-seekers will be tempted by the standard version presented here. In the past, this Brutale 1090 replaced the 920 in the catalog, the latter being too close to the 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 ex-R. 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 in control of your confidence.
