In the new 2021 model, MV Agusta has not just updated the engine to Euro5 specifications. But the Brutale 800RR also comes with updates to its chassis, suspension and electronics.
Powering the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR is a 798cc three-cylinder in-line engine. The engine comes with a 12 valve distribution system, DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated tappet and a DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) with a mechanical chain tensioner.

The fork legs are anodised, and the front suspension features adjustable rebound-compression damping and spring preload with separate external adjustments. The 43mm diameter fork legs provide 125mm of travel. On the rear, the motorcycle comes with Progressive Sachs, a monoshock with a rebound, compression damping and spring preload adjustment. Braking duties are handled by 320mm front and 220mm steel disc with Brembo calipers.
