2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro

The very first Brutale changed the definition of the naked sports bike forever. Today, the Brutale 1000 Serie Oro brings a long pathway of development full circle, whilst marking the beginning of a new concept focused on the pursuit of the ultimate performance.

Features may include:

• Details

The split seat leaves the pattern of the underlying carbon fibre visible. The licence plate bracket is fixed to the single-sided swingarm. The billet foot peg brackets resemble those on the ultra-special RVS#1 and the wheel rims are 100% carbon fibre. Finally, the fire red color scheme with matt finish provides an exclusive metallic effect.

• Design

The 1000 Serie Oro incorporates several of the characteristic Brutale design elements, such as its headlights, fuel tank and tail fairing, here all custom designed and engineered for this model, ensuring the same style traditionally associated with the Brutale name.

• Performance

The 4-cylinder engine of the Brutale 1000 Serie Oro reaches a record-breaking 208 hp at 13,450 rpm. When matched with an Arrow exhaust system and dedicated ECU, this figure rises even further, reaching a breath-taking 212 hp (156 kW) at 13,600 rpm. The fastest naked bike on the planet smashes all barriers, claiming a top speed of over 300 km/h.

• Technology

The MV Agusta engineers have radically changed the original design of the inline 4-cylinder engine, leaving untouched only the design of some castings and the concept cornerstones, such as the central distribution chain and radial valves. All the rest is brand new in the name of improved performance.

• Engine

Innovative technical features include new valve guides, a redesigned combustion chamber, reworked camshaft timing with improved intake and exhaust lobes, pistons with new low friction compression, a brand new crankshaft, a redesigned airbox and a new exhaust system. Added to these are a new lubrication system, which is designed to improve efficiency even in extreme conditions.

• Electronics

For the 4-cylinder engine of the Brutale 1000 Serie Oro, MV Agusta has developed a specific central control unit which regulates the multi-map Full Ride-by-Wire system and collects the data of the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The experience accumulated during the Superbike World Championships has led to a radical improvement in the traction control system (which can be set to 8 levels and deactivated), an anti-wheelie system, a launch control system, and the EAS 2.0 Up & Down gear system, which operates on both uphill and downhill terrain.

• Safety

Öhlins electronic suspension pieces provide optimum driving control in all road conditions. Considering the exceptional top speed of over 300 km/h, two spoilers have been mounted next to the radiator, improving stability and the load on the front wheel. New Brembo Stylema calipers grip 320 mm diameter floating discs and are linked to the Bosch 9 Plus Race Mode with RLM, the most compact and lightweight on the market. The Brutale 1000 Serie Oro also comes standard with tyre pressure sensors.
