NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT TRIPLE

MV Agusta state their new F3 800 has the “exhilaration of a 1000cc Superbike with the handling of a 600cc Supersport. The torque of a v-twin and the rev limit of a four-cylinder.” With typical aggressive Italian styling, the MV Agusta F3 800 delivers a mountain of power, all 148 hp, from a lightweight 173 kg package, based around an ALS tubular steel trellis and cast aluminium side plate chassis. Engine is MV Agusta’s tripple arrangement; rev limiter is set at 13,500 rpm. Advanced engine and traction management is handled through a Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System platform that combines electronic control of the throttle and throttle body with traction control. Brembo monobloc front calipers are mounted on 43 mm Marzocchi front forks. Rear suspension is a fully adjustable Sachs mono-shock.
