Brutale 1000RS
The Brutale’s history has deep roots in the creative genius of Massimo Tamburini, the man who revolutionised the idea of sport bikes. Today, the vision that inspired that project is embodied in a Brutale that maintains all its extraordinary beauty intact, enriched with valuable and exclusive technical content.
Technology and power. The in-line, four-cylinder MV Agusta engine, one of a kind anywhere in the world thanks to the radial valve arrangement, finds a new version thanks in part to the countershaft that reduces high-frequency secondary vibrations, all to the benefit of reliability and comfort. Friction has been reduced thanks to new gears. The transmission has been strengthened and made even more accurate and efficient.
