The Brutale 800 is a gorgeous motorcycle with its beautiful mix of curves and sharp edges that screams Italian exotica from whatever angle you view it. The basic design of the new bike is similar to the older Brutale 800, with the new floating tail section being the most evident visual distinction. The oval headlight has been carried forward but it now features LED DRLs and the iconic triple exhaust mufflers have been retained but are a bit larger than before. The instrument cluster is an all-digital unit which has been redesigned and the switch gear is also new. 

Powering the bike is a new Euro 4-compliant 798cc motor. The triple-cylinder engine produces 110PS at 11,500rpm and a peak torque of 83Nm at 7600rpm. In comparison to the older engine, power figure is down by a massive 17PS, while torque has risen by 2Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch and the new bike also gets bidirectional quickshifter (segment-first). 

Talking about electronic goodies, the new MV Agusta Brutale 800 features 8 traction control levels, 3 ABS levels and engine braking control. It also gets four riding modes on offer - Rain, Normal, Sport and Custom. The MV Agusta Brutale 800 competes against the Ducati Monster 821, Triumph Street Triple and the Kawasaki Z900, but being a premium motorcycle it has been priced significantly higher than its rivals.
