At the heart of the 2018 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 RC sport touring motorcycle, MV Agusta 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 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 10,150 rpm while maximum torque reaches 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) at 8,000 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 2,150 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,150 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 Turismo Veloce 800 RC measures 192 kg (423 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 HP/kg (1.75 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
