MV Agusta’s racing division ‘Reparto Corse’ has developed a limited edition model based on the F3 800. The limited edition model is christened ‘F3XX’ and has been lightened by a whopping 28 kg as compared to the standard motorcycle. The engine output has also been spiked by nearly 12 BHP which is significant in conjunction with the lightened motorcycle.
The Reparto Corse, which is the racing division of the Italian premium motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta was commissioned by the brand to develop a track focused motorcycle by shedding every ounce of weight possible and to obtain every bit of juice that the motor can produce.
For comparison, the standard MV Agusta F3 800 is powered by a 799cc, three-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor which produces 146 BHP of power and 88 Nm of torque coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. The standard F3 800 weighs in at 173 kg (dry) and the F3XX weighs 145 kg which is 28 kg less. Reparto Corse achieved this by using carbon fibre materials for numerous components. The power on the engine has also been upped from 146 BHP to 157.8 BHP.
The F3XX is powered by the engine based on the F3 800 and has the following specifications:-
The MV Agusta F3XX is expected to be sold at a premium price, given the equipment it offers. Though information about the price is not available at the moment, the price will not even be near the standard F3 800 which is priced at INR 16.31 lakh ex-showroom, Mumbai. The bike will only be available in limited numbers and is likely to be configured only for race track use.
