MV Agusta Superveloce

The 799 cc engine, originally designed by Ezio Mascheroni and first fitted to the F3,[13] uses a DOHC inline three-cylinder layout with four valves per cylinder. A counter-rotating (reverse) crankshaft is used,[9] which counteracts the centripetal forces of the wheels allowing the bike to turn faster.[14] The bore and stroke are 79 mm and 54.3 mm.

The machine uses a number of advanced technologies in the state of the art engine and vehicle control electronics; including ride by wire, multi-maps and traction control. A TFT dashboard is fitted,[9] which has dedicated graphs and new functions.[1] Headlight and tail light are large round items, adding to the retro-look, and are powered by LEDs. The headlight is an advanced twin-function full LED poly-ellipsoidal[15] with a daytime running light.[12]

The tubular steel/aluminium frame is the same as the F3 800 as are the Marzocchi forks and Brembo brakes. A new rear sub-frame is fitted that allows changing the bike from a single seat to a dual seat if required.[15]

MV Agusta Superveloce Ago

The Superveloce 800 Serie Oro was the first of the model line to be announced and was limited to 300 units,[7] all of which were reserved before production started in 2020.[8]

The bike has carbon fibre bodywork, including the fairing,[2] which reflects the style of the Ago era and has a yellow tinted screen.[4] The lightweight bodywork contributes to the 381 lb (173 kg) dry weight.[2][3] New six-spoke wheels are fitted.[12]

The machine uses a SC Projects[4] 3-into-1-into-3 exhausts, two pipes exiting on the right and one on the left. This configuration is the same as on the classic MV GP machines.[12] The exhaust boosts power to 153 bhp (115 kW).[10]

A leather strap is used to secure the petrol tank to the frame front and rear,[12] and features a machined filler cap.[3]

The limited edition MV Agusta Superveloce 75 Anniversario model to mark the 75 anniversary of MV Agusta was announced in November 2020. Features included a tri colour paint job, a red seat and gold highlights and a three-tipped Arrow race exhaust. Only 75 were manufactured, each with a numbered aluminum plate on the steering head and a certificate of authenticity.[16]

The full-production Superveloce 800 uses thermoplastic bodywork rather than the carbon fibre of the Serie Oro to bring the cost of the machine down. Tank and wheels are from the F3.[10] An exhaust similar to the F3 is used, with three overlapping pipes on the right side.[11] Two colours are available - "Ago" red with silver livery and a black/dark grey finish.[17]

The production version of the Superveloce 800 was released in late 2020.

Although developing the same 148 bhp (109 kW)[1] as the F3,[18] a different exhaust and revised engine mapping of the ECU give the machine better mid-range power.[4]

On 10 December 2020 Alpine and MV Agusta announced that they would make a special edition of the MV Agusta Superveloce influenced by the Alpine A110 called the Superveloce 800 Alpine. Approximately 110 models were made and rapidly sold out.[19]

MV Agusta released details for the 2021 Superveloce models on 7 April 2021. Upgrades to the Superveloce 800 included Euro 5 compliance, new engine components, redesigned exhaust system and matching software for the ECU, redesigned lateral frame plates for more rigidity, revised front suspension settings, an upgraded electronics with a new inertial measurement unit (IMU), a new quick shifter and a new twin flow oil radiator. Two colour schemes are available - Ago Red and Silver combination and Pearl Metallic Yellow.[20]

A new Superveloce S model shares that same base but is white with gold decals and has spoked tubeless wheels and a special leather seat. A racing kit is available that includes a tail cover, an Arrow exhaust and an appropriately mapped ECU.[20]

MV Agusta announced the production of 311 handcrafted Superveloce Ago machines in October 2021, the first 15 of which are dedicated to Agostini's 15 world titles. The Superveloce Ago features include: upgraded suspension components; carbon fibre body components; the upper triple clamp, the shift pedal and the rear brake pedal are machined from aluminum billet; unique wire wheels; and a new six-axis inertial platform (IMU). A racing kit is available that includes a three-pipe Arrow exhaust combined with a dedicated ECU, which increases the power to 151 horsepower.[21]

The limited edition Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro was announced by MV Agusta in early November 2022. It is based on the Brutale 1000 RR and has a 998cc inline-Four engine with an updated second balance shaft that produces 208 hp at 13,000 rpm. Other features include electronic Öhlins suspension and carbon fibre bodywork.[22]
