At the heart of the 2020 MV Agusta Dragster 800 Rosso naked motorcycle, MV Agusta 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 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 11,500 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 137.8 HP per liter and a 3,900 rpm working window between peak torque (7,600 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Dragster 800 Rosso measures 168 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 HP/kg (1.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 845 mm (33.3 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 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 295 km (183 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 237 km/h (147 mph).
