TheMV Agusta RVS#1 is a limited-edition motorcycle produced by theItalian manufacturerMV Agusta. This machine is the first product of MV Agusta's “Reparto Veicoli Speciali” (RVS) (Special Vehicles Operations) department,[2] and a reinterpretation of theMV Agusta Dragster. It is powered by a 150 bhp (110 kW) version of the company's 800 ccthree-cylinder engine.[3] The machines are all hand assembled[4] and went on sale in 2019.[5]
MV Agusta'sCEO, Giovanni Castiglioni,[6] set up a new division, the RVS, to design special and premium models.[7] The first project was a reinterpretation of theDragster.[3] The machine was designed in conjunction with the C.R.C. (Castiglioni Research Centre) who provided the engineering expertise.[7]
The 799 cc engine, originally designed by Ezio Mascheroni and first fitted to the F3,[8] uses aDOHCinline three-cylinder layout withfour valves per cylinder. A counter-rotating (reverse)crankshaft is used,[3] which counteracts thecentripetal forces of the wheels allowing the bike to turn faster.[9] Thebore andstroke are 79 mm and 54.3 mm.[1]
Modified to meet theEuro4 European emission standards[3] and tuned to produce 150 bhp (110 kW) at 12.800 rpm,[1] the engine is the most powerful triple in the MV range.[10] Power is fed through a six speed gearbox via a hydraulicslipper clutch. The gearbox is fitted with a quickshifter.[7]
As is usual for MV Agusta theframe is constructed ofchrome-molybdenum tubing with an aluminiumswinging arm mounts, and the engine acts as astressed member.Marzocchi “Upside down”front forks are fitted which have a DLC (diamond like carbon) coating to reduce wear. The single sided swinging arms is controlled by a fully adjustableSachs shock absorber.[1]
The front brakes use distinctive SunstarBraking Batfly twin discs[2] andBrembo radial 4-pot calipers with a single 2-pot Brembo caliper on the rear.[7] Wheels are from Kineo with red highlights to the wire spokes.[2]
Carbon fibre is used for many of the bodywork component. The tank has titanium inserts and the seat has a honeycomb stitched pattern with the bike's signature skull on it.[2] A roundLEDheadlight is fitted, the LED pattern changing with the angle of lean of the bike to provide optimum illumination. Two spotlights are also fitted on the side of the engine.[3]
By the use of carbon fibre and titanium, the machine's weight had been reduced by 8 kg compared to the Dragster, to 160 kg.[11]
The machine is equipped with a full electronics suite. An LCD dashboard controls the MVICS system (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System), which includes an EldorECU, Mikuniride by wire,traction control, Quickshifter EAS 2.0 and Bosch 9 PlusABS with RLM (Rear wheel Lift-up Mitigation). The system offers many user-control settings.[7]
