With 158 HP of power and 100 Nm of torque, the Brutale Corsa is instantly recognizable at first sight for the outstanding quality of its components, extreme attention to detail and spectacular bespoke livery.

The benefits of the ultra-light specific forged wheels and fully adjustable Öhlins front fork in terms of riding dynamics are instantly perceptible, as are those of the billet steering head created specifically for this unique version. There are plenty of new styling touches too: from the frame finished in gloss black paint and the hand-stitched rider and passenger saddles to brake levers, rider foot pegs and brake and clutch fluid reservoir caps machined from solid billet.

Single-sided swing arm with adjustable absorber, 50 mm diameter inverted forks and brakes with radial front calipers

MV-Agusta-Brutale1090-Corsa3

Engine

The inline four-cylinder architecture of the MV Agusta is part of history and this engine is found on the complete Brutale range. With a displacement of 1090 cc, it employs a bore and stroke of 79 mm
and 55 mm. Unique to the motorcycle industry is the double overhead camshaft with four valves per cylinder which are arranged in a radial pattern.

The engine employs both water and oil cooling with separate radiators. The impressive power of 158 hp (116.5 kW) at 11,900 rev / min and 100 Nm (10.2 kgm) of torque at 10,100 rev / min.

The cassette style removable gearbox is a six speed, constant mesh, another touch that makes MV Agusta exclusive. The multi-plate clutch in runs in an oil bath with race track derived slipper clutch unit.

Design

Form and function following these inspirational principles Brutale continues to fascinate and has evolved in many details. Having immediate impact are the lighting elements, day running lights, arranged symmetrically on either side of the dashboard cover: capable of enhancing the whole frontal section, also making the motorcycle more visible and therefore safe during day and night. Another ray of light comes from the four-cylinder engine, now silver, a color that emphasizes its compactness and accurate implementation of all its elements. The same chromatic range characterizes the new wheels, a unique design in the motorcycle industry. The multiple spokes are split and give rise to a fascinating design and at the same time efficient, considering the weight of a pair of wheels has been decreased by about 1.500 grams compared to those fitted on previous models. The two new double exhaust silencers, a key element of the design, have become even more racing thanks to tapered ends, with a decisive diagonal cut reminiscent of American dragsters. The surface finish enhances its compact size; the new aluminum plate that prevents contact with the pipes has been redefined.
Updated features also for the new tail light, now with latest technology contour illumination, and rear view mirrors having a revised design for the Brutale 1090.
The indicators are integrated within the mirrors, the rear indicators are LED’s. The license plate holder is now metal, lighter and essential, and therefore able to further enhance the design of the compact, unique tail. The new single piece seat benefits from new curves, improved ergonomics and a higher level of finish. Lastly, the front fender has also been redesigned with ample openings to reduce weight.

Frame

The composite frame of the Brutale is composed of the high strength tubular ALS steel front section coupled to the single sided swingarm by two aluminum plates.
This configuration provides the best balance between efficiency and weight, as well as a characteristic of every MV Agusta.
Size and dimensions remain the same: wheelbase of 1438 mm

Suspension

Brutal continues to be the benchmark for handling thanks to the continually refined and improved suspension. The 50 mm diameter front forks are fully adjustable by means of special external adjusters: compression on one leg, rebound on the other and spring preload on both legs.

The new axle carrier allows quick release of the front wheel: a touch of functionality typically found only on race bikes. The shocks are completely tunable to adjust the rebound and spring preload; it is
also possible to vary the low and high speed hydraulic compression damping.

Brakes

The braking system of every Brutale employs components of the highest quality: two front discs 320 mm in diameter, floating, with steel braking discs and an aluminum disc carrier.

The rear disc is also made of steel with a diameter of 210 mm. Calipers are four-piston front and rear; Brembo monobloc front calipers for maximum braking efficiency and weight reduction.
