We agree in the editors that you don’t have to teach them anything in terms of design at MV Agusta in Varese, but the Italians still manage to surprise us every year with the new RC versions. This includes the 2022 range of the RC, which consists of the F3 RC, Dragster RC SCS and Turismo Veloce RC SCS.
The RC range represents the essence of MV Agusta’s racing DNA, “designed for every little detail to embody the highest point in the development of these truly exclusive models.”
The acronym stands for Reparto Corse, which stands for the racing department at the small Italian brand that is located on Lake Varese. The two letters RC are the eye-catchers of the RC models, which emphasize their racing vocation.
All three models are in limited series: 200 pieces for the F3 RC, 300 for the Dragster and the Turismo Veloce, with their production number on the triple clamp and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
The race kit, for the F3 RC and Dragster RC, consists of a rich collection of premium parts: exhaust, control unit, footpegs, levers and everything needed to turn an ordinary street bike into a race-ready machine.
F3 RC
The Sportiest of the three RC models is undoubtedly the F3 RC. Engine, frame, aerodynamics: everything about this bike is designed for maximum performance without compromise. For example, the bike has advanced titanium nitride (TiN) coating on the fork legs to reduce friction, and a weight reduction of 10% at the wheels, reducing the mass inertia by 7%.
The race kit includes a full titanium Akrapovič exhaust including custom ECU mapping, complete with a carbon fiber heat shield. The aluminum alloy clutch and brake levers are CNC machined. The new F3 RC 2022 will be produced in a limited series of 200 pieces, all numbered and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
Dragster RC SCS
The updated graphics and color scheme are reminiscent of the bikes that race in the Moto2 and Supersport championships. Extensive use of premium materials benefits both aesthetics and function: advanced titanium nitride (TiN) coating of the fork legs to reduce friction, while forged wheels reduce unsprung weight and improve agility; Finally, here too the necessary amount of carbon fiber.
Also here is a race kit for the 800cc three-cylinder engine, comprising an SC Project titanium exhaust with custom ECU mapping, as well as a sleek-looking clear clutch cover. The new Dragster RC SCS 2022 is produced in a limited series of 300 pieces, all numbered and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
Turismo Veloce RC SCS
The most eclectic MV Agusta, in its RC version, has some precious details that make it even more exclusive, also because it is produced in a series of 300 pieces, all numbered and certified.
Many updates have been introduced on this model, from a redesigned exhaust to new suspension tuning, on top of an enlarged windshield and an updated electronic shift sensor for improved precision and reliability. The inertia platform is also brand new.
The Turismo Veloce RC features the tested and proven Smart Clutch System, developed by MV Agusta together with Rekluse: it enables lightning fast starts without having to use the clutch lever to stop and go, making the whole driving experience even easier, more carefree and sportier.
