2018 MV Agusta F4 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2018 MV Agusta F4 sport motorcycle, MV Agusta features a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 195 HP (142.3 kW) at 13,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 110.8 Nm (81.7 lb-ft) at 9,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 195.4 HP per liter and a 3,800 rpm working window between peak torque (9,600 rpm) and peak power (13,400 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the F4 measures 291 kg (642 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.67 HP/kg (1.49 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, while factory top speed is listed at 291 km/h (181 mph).
