MV Agusta has imported the F3 800 suspersports motorcycle in India prior to its official launch in November. The MV Agusta F3 800 is expected to be priced around Rs 15 lakh
Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta recently announced that it plans to enter the Indian two-wheeler market in November. The exotic two-wheeler manufacturer has joined hands with Chakan based Kinetic Engineering to assemble its motorcycles to bring them to our tarmac via the CKD route to keep costs low. MV Agusta just hinted that it will launch three new motorcycles in November and we had guessed that among the trio of new motorcycles could be the MV Agusta F3 800. Our speculation proved correct as import documents have revealed that a unit of the MV Agusta F3 800 has been imported to India prior to its official launch. The styling of the MV Agusta is based on its litre-class offering the F4 and beautiful is the only word that could do justice to this Italian work of art. The riding posture of the motorcycle is aggressive like in the case of any supersports with clip-on handle bars and rear-set footpegs. Powering the motorcycle is a 798cc displacement, three-cylinder motor churning out 150PS of power and 88Nm of peak torque.
The powerplant is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch and a quick shifter. The above numbers and its kerb weight of just 173kg means that the F3 800 can attain a top speed of around 270kmph which is great for middleweight supersports offering. The MV Agusta employs a tubular trellis frame crafted from steel and aluminium swingarm to keep weight under check. Talking about electronics, the bike features the MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) platform combining fully electronic control of throttle and throttle body with traction control. It also gets Ride By Wire, multiple ride modes.
