Concept: MV Agusta Rivale
A new reference point for the Italian company where “only emotions dominate” Sounds enticing enough…MV Agusta is displaying a concept model at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan – the Rivale 800.
It’s a new market segment for the Italian company, and function is bordering on the supermoto side of things, so we expect when it goes into production in the second half of 2013 bikes like the Ducati Hypermotard will be in its sights.
There’s a trellis frame, and the engine is the bored-out version of the 675cc triple with three maps and a custom default. There’s 125hp at 11,600rpm and 81Nm at 8600rpm.The throttle is full ride by wire.
The dashboard has been designed specifically for the Rivale 800 and features a digital, multi-function display. It’s compact “yet remains perfectly legible while offering maximum availability of information and parameters”.
The pair of front 320mm diameter discs are gripped by twin four-piston Brembo radial calipers. The rear is a 220mm diameter disc mated to a twin-piston caliper. Suspe4nsio is Marzocchi and Sachs.
Styling is Ducati Diavel-ish at the rear, and weight is 170kg.
