MV AGUSTA

The F3, Turismo Veloce and Dragster got the RC treatment

MV Agusta has launched three updated models for 2022: Turimo Veloce, Dragster and F3. All three bikes received the Reparto Corse (RC) treatment with distinctive color combinations.

If you're a fan of MV Agust, you'll recognize the RC badge as the racing division of the Italian manufacturer. This means that the new editions of the Turismo Veloce, Dragster and F3 are improved versions of the base machine.

As a sports touring machine, the Turismo Veloce RC(image above) offers great comfort on long journeys, and although the engine is weaker than the other two bikes, it can still carry a 21 liter fuel tank and a weight of 199 kilograms.

According to MV Agusta, Turismo Veloce RC has a maximum speed of 230 km/h. For braking, double 320-millimeter discs with Brembo brake calipers are in charge at the front and a single 220-millimeter disc on the rear wheel.

Among other features, we will mention ABS with rear wheel lift detection system.

Dragster RC...The Dragster RC features 43mm Marzocchi USD telescopic forks at the front and a Sachs shock at the rear. Braking is handled by the same disc brakes as on the Turismo Veloce RC (double 320 mm front, single 220 mm rear), and there is also ABS.

Like the Turismo Veloce RC and Dragster it comes with a parking brake.

As far as performance is concerned, 140 hp and 87 Nm of torque are available. The Dragster RC is the lightest of the three, with a top speed of 245 km/h, faster than the F3.

F3 RC...The rims are now 10% lighter, resulting in a 7% reduction in the moment of inertia. The F3 is the most powerful of the presented RC trio and has 147 hp and 88 Nm of maximum torque available. It also has a new traction control system, with eight different levels and four torque control settings.

MV Agusta says that the F3 RC can reach a maximum speed of 240 km/h.

It has the same brakes as the previous two models, 43mm Marzocchi USD telescopic forks, ABS, Sach rear shock and an aluminum rear fork.

All three RC models are available in limited numbers, and we believe that all 200 units of F3, as well as 300 examples of Dragster and Turismo Veloce, will quickly find new owners.
