MV Agusta seems to be falling back into old habits, launching super exclusive and limited variants on existing models. The latest in this series is the new Brutale 1000 Nürburgring, which links the Hypernaked to the illustrious “Green Hell”.
According to MV Agusta, the most extreme Brutale ever, that is the new Brutale 1000 Nürburgring, and to realize that they have worked diligently in Schiranna. Not on the block, because that is specified as usual for a top power of 208 hp with Euro 5 emissions, but in terms of weight.
Making the Brutale lighter has been the starting point of this Nürburgring version. Because the lighter a bike, the faster it can be changed direction and the more effective the acceleration and the brakes. According to MV, the Brutale 1000 Nürburgring excels in dynamic performance, thanks to the changes made to the chassis and technical equipment.
The first thing you notice is that carbon fiber, popularly also called carbon or carbon fiber, has flowed freely. Starting with the latest generation of carbon wheels that have been developed in consultation with BST. According to MV, the milled hubs in these wheels are even lighter and stiffer, which counts twice because the unsprung weight is weight and you have therefore also reduced the enertia. That translates to a bike that is significantly easier to change direction at high speed.
That’s not the only thing MV has adjusted. A new titanium exhaust system has been developed in consultation with Arrow, but it is not suitable for public roads. You also get an ECU that is adapted to the open exhaust system. Small winglets have been fitted around the headlamp to achieve even more downforce at high speed, there are also carbon covers for the exhaust and passenger seat and new forged footrests have been fitted for improved grip.
Finally, the Brutale 1000 Nürburgring has been given a special coat of paint, and a plaque on the panel of the air intake that indicates the number of 150 units it is. For the rest it is ‘just’ a Brutale 1000 RR, which in all honesty has nothing ‘ordinary’ about it, as became clear to us last year during a test in our own backyard.
So you’re talking about a Hypernaked with 208 hp top power (215 hp with race exhaust) and a dry weight of 183 kilos (177 kilos with racing exhaust), whose top speed is over 300 km/h. For a Naked… brrrrr. The Öhlins suspension is fully electronic and semi-active, an IMU ensures that all electronics are controlled according to lean angle, just like the Continental cornering ABS and via a 5.5″ TFT color screen all information can be read and the engine can be connected to the MV Ride app via Bluetooth.
