2019 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in MV Agusta's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2019 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC relies on a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. 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 Dragster 800 RC measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.92 HP/kg (1.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 245 km/h (152 mph).
