MV Agusta Brutale 800 likely to be launched in July 2016

MV Agusta has joined hands with the Kinetic Group to carve out a niche of the booming premium two-wheeler market in India. As per reports, the MV Agusta will not be launching the current version of the Brutale 800 in India. Instead, the new Brutale 800, which was unveiled by the manufacturer at the recently held 2015 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, will be makings its way to the Indian market.

The new Brutale 800 will be brought to India via CKD-route and will be assembled at Kinetic’s assembly plant in Pune. The motorcycle will sport a fresh headlight design with a full LED setup. The chassis now makes use of a lighter alloy compound which has helped the new Brutale 800 shed some weight as compared to its current version. The new Brutale 800 will continue to have the eye-catching three-pipe exhaust and long single-sided swingarm. Powering the motorcycle will be an all-new 798cc, three-cylinder 4-stroke engine with counter-rotating crankshaft producing 127PS of power at 11,600rpm and 81Nm of torque at 8,600rpm. Power will be transmitted to the rear wheels by a 6-speed gearbox.

The new MV Agusta Brutale 800 is expected to be launched with a price tag around the Rs 15 lakh mark. The Brutale 800 will be the most affordable motorcycle by the Italian manufacturer. MV Agusta’s current offering of motorcycles consist of the F3 800, F4 and the Brutale 1090.
