Built around MV Agusta's naked motorcycle platform, the 2019 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RC utilizes a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 147.5 HP (107.7 kW) at 12,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 87 Nm (64.2 lb-ft) at 10,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 184.8 HP per liter and a 2,700 rpm working window between peak torque (10,100 rpm) and peak power (12,800 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Brutale 800 RC measures 175 kg (386 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.84 HP/kg (1.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 246 km (153 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 244 km/h (152 mph).
