Built around MV Agusta's sport motorcycle platform, the 2019 MV Agusta F4 RC pairs a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 211.9 HP (154.7 kW) at 13,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 115 Nm (84.8 lb-ft) at 9,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 212.3 HP per liter and a 4,300 rpm working window between peak torque (9,300 rpm) and peak power (13,600 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the F4 RC measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.21 HP/kg (0.83 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 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
