You do not usually see MV Agusta announce back-to-back bikes in a matter of only a few days. Following the reveal of the Brutale 800 this past week, the ex-Pierer Mobility-owned brand has unveiled the newest bare motorbike in its Brutale lineup.
The special-edition MV Agusta Brutale Serie Oro debuted at this yr’s EICMA as MV Agusta’s solely new middleweight naked sportbike. It’s based mostly on the up to date inline-three 950 EVO engine – a platform we’ll be seeing rather more of within the time to return.
It’s a 931cc three-cylinder unit with a counter-rotating crankshaft you’ll discover on the Enduro Veloce. For the Brutale Serie Oro, the Italian firm closely re-engineered the motor with a brand new head, new ducts, an optimized cooling circuit, and a swanky new Termignoni exhaust.

You additionally get larger-diameter metal valves constructed from “a extra wear-resistant materials” and redesigned consumption and exhaust ports, to finish the checklist of adjustments to the motor. MV states that 85% of max torque is available at 3,500 rpm.
Talking of which, the bike produces 148 hp at 11,200 rpm and a most torque of 78.9 lb-ft (107 Nm) at 8,400 rpm. For reference, the Brutale 800 maxes out at 113 horsepower and 53 lb.ft (85 Nm) of torque, so there’s a appreciable energy distinction between the 2 siblings.
To minimize lever effort, a brand new slipper and torque-assisted clutch are on supply. The bike additionally will get a 50-mm full ride-by-wire throttle physique with top-feed injectors.

But it surely’s not simply the engine that sees an overhaul. You additionally get an up to date electronics package deal, an all-new steel-trellis body, and a single-sided swingarm, alongside new styling on the bare.
Let’s begin with the latter, as a result of that’s what you’ll extra probably discover the primary time you have a look at the Brutale Serie Oro – the design. Though up to date, the styling stays true to the basic Brutale lineage, recognizable since its debut in 2001.
The brand new mannequin has been developed as a part of MV Agusta’s “Past Efficiency” philosophy. Its entrance headlight encompasses a cornering operate, whereas the redesigned gas tank affords extra leg help than earlier than. In an effort to extend leverage and management on the bike, the handlebars have additionally been tinkered with. They’re additional ahead and better, whereas the grips now have a wider and better angle.

You get far more butt room now, with the saddle broader by 0.78 inches (20 mm), and it additionally makes use of a softer foam for added consolation. The pillion seat, too, is longer and wider by 1.5 inches (40 mm). Each seats are lined in premium Alcantara upholstery. The seat peak is listed at 33.46 inches (849.8 mm).
A tubular metal trellis body serves because the skeleton of the bike, and is complemented by an aluminum alloy single-sided swingarm that has been prolonged by 1.1 inches (30 mm). “The body has been refined with elevated torsional rigidity, lowered weight, and an extended wheelbase, whereas the rake angle has been opened to additional improve precision and management,” per MV Agusta.
One factor that MV may have improved however didn’t is the burden of the motorbike. With a dry weight of 429 lb (194.5 kg), the Brutale Serie Oro continues to be on the heavier finish of the dimensions. Adjusting for the 4.36-gallon (16.5-liter) gas capability brings us to an estimated curb weight of 439 lb (199 kg). Too heavy for my liking.
A completely adjustable Öhlins NIX 30 fork and Öhlins TTX 36 shock deal with suspension duties. As for braking, you get superbike-specific Brembo HyPure calipers with 320-mm floating rotors up, and a dual-piston Brembo caliper on a 220-mm disc within the rear. The bike runs 17-inch wheels front and back.

MV Agusta supplies full digital gear as commonplace. A 5-inch TFT cluster allows you to select between 5 trip modes (Rain, City, Sport, Race, and Customized), regulate the ABS and traction management parameters, in addition to tinker with the throttle response. The bike additionally comes with on-board GPS and an anti-theft operate.
As of Q2 2026, this particular version bike shall be out there. However right here’s the catch: It is going to solely be supplied in 300 items, with pricing not but introduced.
That does dampen the get together a bit bit, however it is possible for you to to get a normal model if this one is priced out of your attain. Which, figuring out MV Agusta, it should probably be.
