Brutale 800

2016 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by MV Agusta for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2016 MV Agusta Brutale 800 features a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 116 HP (84.7 kW) at 11,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 83 Nm (61.2 lb-ft) at 7,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 145.4 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,600 rpm) and peak power (11,600 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the Brutale 800 measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.66 HP/kg (1.51 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 16.6-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 296 km (184 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 237 km/h (147 mph).
