MV Agusta has unveiled the
new Superveloce 800 just a day before the 2019 EICMA show's doors open on 5
November in Milan, Italy. The new MV Agusta Superveloce 800 is the relatively
affordable version of the Superveloce 800 Serie Oro that was unveiled at last
year’s EICMA motorcycle show. The Superveloce 800 is listed at 19,900 euros.
In terms of design, the new Superveloce 800 carries
the styling cues of the Superveloce 800 Serie Oro, although the relatively
budget-spec model misses features like wire-spoke wheels and twin-pod exhaust.
Instead, the new Superveloce 800 gets alloy wheels and F3 800/Brutale 800-style
three-pod exhaust.
More changes are evident on the fuel tank, and the
new Superveloce 800 uses a flush-type filler cap instead of the retro-style
unit on the Serie Oro. The rider seat is identical to the premium version,
although the new variant was revealed with a pillion seat setup. The pillion
part of the saddle mimics the design of a rear cowl for a sporty look. A rear
cowl is also available for the motorcycle. The rear tyre-hugger mounted number
plate and blinkers offer a clean look to the tail section of the motorcycle,
while the single-sided swingarm gives it a proper exotic and a premium look.
The front fascia retains the
round, LED headlight design for a retro-look. The windscreen, similar to the
Serie Oro, retains the body-coloured panel highlight. The motorcycle retains
the fairing design from the Serie Oro model as well. The tail continues to
feature the round, LED stop-light.
The mechanical specifications of the Superveloce 800
include a 798 cc liquid-cooled, three-cylinder, 12-valve engine that produces
148 hp of peak power at 13,000 rpm and 88 Nm of max torque at 10,900 rpm. The
six-speed gearbox benefits from an MV EAS 2.0 (Electronically assisted Shift up
& down) quick-shifter. The top speed is rated at 240 km/h. The four selectable
riding modes include Sport, Race, Rain and Custom.
Braking department comprises 320 mm double floating
discs at the front and 220 mm single steel disc at the back. Shock absorption
tasks are handled by Marzocchi inverted telescopic hydraulic fork at the front
and Sachs mono-shock at the back.
MV Agusta will showcase the new Superveloce 800,
along with the rest of the 2020 product portfolio and a concept motorcycle at
the 2019 EICMA motorcycle show in Italy.
