MV Agusta has unveiled its 2022 line-up of limited-edition RC, or Reparto Corse, models, that are available as variants within the boutique Italian manufacturer’s F3, Dragster and Turismo Veloce families.
Reparto Corse translates from the Italian as ‘Racing Department’, and so the changes go far further than just the exclusive ‘RC’ tricolore paint scheme. Just 200 examples of the MV Agusta F3 RC will be made available worldwide, along with 300 examples of both the MV Agusta Dragster RC SCS and MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS, with each bike sporting its production number on the steering head plate and coming with an official certificate of authenticity.

Want to up the stakes even further? MV Agusta has also produced a Racing Kit for the F3 RC and Dragster RC SCS (but not the sportstouring-oriented Turismo Veloce RC SCS), to eke even more performance out of MV’s 798cc inline triple engine.
The kit comprises a high-flow exhaust system and a race ECU, along with race footrests and levers plus “everything needed to turn a plain motorcycle into a racetrack-ready machine”.
Catering for those after a pure and unadulterated high-end supersport bike, the 2022 MV Agusta F3 RC features a titanium nitride (TiN) coating on its fork to reduce friction and further enhance feel, along with forged wheels that are 10 per cent lighter, while the race kit adds a full titanium Akrapovic exhaust system with carbon heat shield.
The 2022 MV Agusta Dragster RC SCS also receives the TiN fork coating and lighter wheels, plus the Smart Clutch System developed by Rekluse that affords automatic gear shifts. The race kit adds an SC Project titanium exhaust and optimised fuel mapping, along with a trick see-through clutch cover.
Finally, the 2022 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS also features the Smart Clutch System, along with numerous updates including a new exhaust design, new suspension tune, a larger windscreen, and an updated quickshift sensor.
There’s no word as yet on local pricing or availability, but we’ll update this story when that information comes to hand. See your nearest MV Agusta dealership for more information.
