MV Agusta unveiled the Dragster 800 RC special edition. Only 350 units will be built.
The “RC” stands for Reparto Corse – MV Agusta’s exclusive performance range. With 140 horsepower and 168 kg dry weight, it’s not just a beauty queen.
The Dragster RC special edition comes with a lot of carbon fiber components and craftsmanship and its highest level for some parts like the front mudguard, radiator heat deflectors, and front fairing. The RC aluminium forged wheels are also lighter.
The aggressive look is completed by a 200 section rear tire.
The three-cylinder engine weights only 52 kg, and it has a counter-rotating racing-derived crankshaft to reduce inertia in corner entry.
The Dragster 800 RC has four different riding configurations – one of which offers complete customization for every parameter: engine response, rev limiter, engine torque management, throttle sensitivity and engine braking.
It also has an eight-level traction control which allows drifting in the corners without losing the bike. The Dragster 800 RC comes with a quick-shifter.
MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC will be produced in 350 units, and the price was not announced yet.
