2021 MV Agusta F3 Russo
The all-new MV Agusta F3 Rosso will be featuring multiple updates. No, not the cosmetic ones. In fact, this time, the new electronic aids are expected to attract a lot of new customers for the bike manufacturer.
To begin with, a 5.5-inch TFT display will now be an integral part of the updated motorcycle. Interestingly, owners who wish to connect their smartphones with this display can do it using the MV Ride App. The Italian brand has also played a smart move that allows users to share information regarding the bikes on social media. Also, turn by turn navigation is now available to make your ride an easier one.
MV Agusta F3 Rosso does share a lot of similarities with the F4. However, at the heart, it is available with a 798cc triple-cylinder engine. To tune it according to the latest emission norms, the company has introduced friction DLC treatment for reduced friction inside the motor. Surprisingly, new injectors are also there to make it more environment-friendly. Talking in numbers, this motor is absolutely powerful and to be precise, it churns out a massive 147HP and 88Nm of torque. Sadly, there is a slight reduction in the overall power figure when compared to the BS4 counterpart.
Last but not the least, MV Agusta is finally here with the new Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) setup. To explain it further, the updated MV Agusta F3 Rosso comes equipped with Continental ABS that can adapt for cornering function as well. Also, this entire setup is here to assist the rider with anti-wheelie control just to avoid a crash.
