MV Agusta has pulled the covers off the 2021 MV Agusta Rush in the international market. The MV Agusta Rush is priced starting from EUR 38,800 (INR 35 lakh, approx.), and the brand will only produce 300 units of this mad motorcycle. The 2021 update will come with a new Euro5 spec engine that retains the performance figures and a new paint theme that draws inspiration from MV Agusta’s military origins.
The MV Agusta Rush is the personification of muscle bikes. The character of the new military theme oozes out from the design language and the colour accents. The new Rush features a Light Army Grey Matte colour in combination with Dark Army Grey Matte and yellow accents. Generally, military aircraft come with grey paint to reduce their visual signature in the sky and improve stealth. The paint theme also includes yellow accents on the tank and tyre walls. This yellow accent provides a stark contrast and makes the character lines on the motorcycle more visible.
The MV Agusta Rush features a round headlamp with three-dimensional inserts and projector headlamps. The Rush features a muscular fuel tank with sharp and angular tank shrouds. The knee recesses also feature angular elements with light carbon fibre. On the 2021 update, the brand also employs light carbon fibre on every piece of the superstructure.
Moreover, the 2021 Rush also gets premium leather and Alcantara seats. The MV Agusta Rush also comes with clip-on handlebars, and bar-end mounted mirrors. The tail section features a sleek design, and the motorcycle comes with a four outlet exhaust with two mouths on each side. But the piece de resistance are the alloy wheels. The front features a 17-inch alloy wheel with aluminium alloy spokes, and the rear features a 17-inch Forged aluminium alloy wheel with a carbon fibre cover.
Powering the 2021 MV Agusta Rush is a 998cc in-line four-cylinder4 stroke motor with separated liquid cooling and oil cooling radiators. The Brutale-derived engine features a radial valve, DLC tappet and DOHC valve distribution system. The MV Agusta Rush pumps out 208 hp of power and 116.5 Nm of torque. The engine features a 6-speed gearbox with a back-torque-limiting clutch and MV EAS 3.0 (Electronically Assisted Shift Up & Down).
