Two engines will be available on the new MV Agusta Brutale for 2010: a 990cc and a 1090cc. The press will be testing the new bike today, and it’s looking good for the new year with new wheels, shock absorber and traction control which will be standard on both models. About 85 percent of all the components have been revised.

The bike is lighter, with a new fork longer by 20mm which should give greater balance and more control, thanks also to new suspension, seat and tail. The motor has been re-done with new lubrification, exhaust intake pipes and throttle valves. The traction control is also linked to a sensor on the fork which reads the rear disc screws.

The central unit has two mapping systems, an softer system, and an aggressive one. Power is 109Kw at 11,000 rpm. The Brutale remains faithful to its tradition, keeping its reputation as one of the most attractive naked sportsbikes on the market. For the local Italian market, prices range from 15,500 euros for the 990R, to 18,500 euros 1090RR. More news on a first impression Brutale ride to come.
