2026 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Makes Global Debut with Rosso Ago Opaco Matte Colour Option

MV Agusta has unveiled the 2026 Brutale 800 as the latest update in the company’s 800cc lineup. It continues as the entry model in the brand’s naked motorcycle range while marking the final update of the current platform before a new 950cc generation arrives. The 2026 version retains the 798cc triple-cylinder engine and now meets Euro 5+ emission standards. MV Agusta’s decision reflects a period of transition, keeping the existing model active for current riders as the firm prepares for the next phase in its product strategy.

2026 MV Agusta Brutale 800: Engine

The Brutale 800 uses a 798cc three-cylinder engine that develops 111bhp at 11,000rpm and 85Nm at 7,500 rpm. It is linked to a six-speed gearbox equipped with a bidirectional quickshifter, allowing clutchless shifts both up and down. The transmission ensures smooth gear transitions while maintaining consistent power to the rear wheel.

The motorcycle is built on a steel trellis frame, with suspension components supplied by Marzocchi and Sachs. A fully adjustable 43 mm Marzocchi USD fork manages the front, while a fully adjustable Sachs monoshock operates at the rear. Braking is handled by Brembo M4.32 calipers with 320 mm twin front discs and a 220 mm rear disc. The model uses 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with Bridgestone S22 tyres and a single-sided swingarm that remains consistent with previous Brutale versions.

2026 MV Agusta Brutale 800: Design and Features

For 2026, the motorcycle gains a major electronics upgrade centred around a six-axis IMU. The system introduces cornering traction control, cornering ABS, and rear-wheel lift control. Four riding modes (Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom), allow riders to adjust performance parameters according to conditions. A 5.5-inch TFT display supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cruise control, bringing added convenience and connectivity. These updates enhance functionality without changing the familiar riding setup.

The bike gets MV Agusta’s Advanced Connectivity Device with geolocation, anti-theft alerts, and emergency SMS. It also has full LED lighting with a cornering headlight and DRLs.
