Built around MV Agusta's naked motorcycle platform, the 2020 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR SCS 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 140 HP (102.2 kW) at 12,300 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 175.4 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (10,100 rpm) and peak power (12,300 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Dragster 800 RR SCS measures 168 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.83 HP/kg (1.2 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 1,400 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 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 275 km (171 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 244 km/h (152 mph).
