MV Agusta F3 800 RC Limited Edition


The exotic Italian superbike manufacturer MV Agusta has announced the launch of its limited edition F3 800 RC in India with a price tag of Rs 19.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune). Production of this exclusive collector’s edition motorcycle is limited to just 250 units; out of which, only 9 are allocated for India. Along with the unique paint scheme, the bike also gets an 'AMG' badging - the high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz - which owns a 25 per cent stake in MV.

The F3 800 RC is truly a collector’s edition; as it offers not only an unparalleled blend of power, performance and handling, but each motorcycle is autographed by Jules Cluzel and Lorenzo Zanetti; and comes with a co-branding with MV Agusta’s partners, AMG (the high-performance brand of Mercedes-Benz). Anyone who gets their hands on an F3 800 RC special series bike will be able to translate these thrills to roads and track days. The iconic branding by AMG and peerless riding dynamics of these machines underline MV Agusta's tagline of Passion Precisely Crafted.


The MV Agusta F3 800 RC gets power from the same 798 cc, liquid-cooled, inline three-cylinder engine that propels the standard version as well. The motor puts out a maximum power output of 150 PS at 13,000 rpm, with torque standing at 88 Nm at 10,600 rpm, and the limiter cutting in at 13,500 rpm. The bike has a dry weight of just 173 kg which helps it to accelerate faster and provides performance that is almost comparable to a litre-class machine. It has a top speed of 269 km/h which is just 30 kmph lesser than the speed limit of a production motorcycle.

The bike comes packed with a lot of the most advanced technologies available in the market including MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) with six injectors, engine control unit Eldor EM2.0, throttle body full drive-by-wire Mikuni, pencil-coil with ion-sensing technology, torque control with four maps, 8 level traction control with 4 modes, Electronic quick shift MV EAS (Electronically Assisted Shift) and a lot more.



Suspension set-up of the MV Agusta F3 800 RC comprises of 43mm adjustable Marzocchi USD forks at the front, while the single-sided rear swingarm gets progressive Sachs single shock absorber with rebound and compression damping and spring preload adjustment. The braking duties are handled by double 320 mm floating discs with four-piston Brembo radial-type monobloc calipers at the front and a single 220 mm steel disc with two-piston Brembo calipers at the rear. The system comes backed by Bosch 9 Plus ABS System with Race Mode and RLM (Rear wheel Lift-up Mitigation).
