First thing first, talking about the powertrain. To be precise, it comes with a Euro-5 compliant 798cc triple-cylinder engine that is capable of producing 109BHP of power @ 10,150 RPM. Likewise, peak torque from the same motor stands at 80Nm @ 7,100 RPM. According to the bike manufacturer, it is torquier than before from 3,000 to 6,000 RPM. Well, all credit goes to the new intake valves that are now a part of the updates.

Multiple variants are now available including – Lusso, Lusso SCS, Rosso and RC SCS. The SCS variants are available with the Smart Clutch System that eliminates the use of the clutch. To be precise, the rider does not have to engage the clutch lever on these variants. Further, better ergonomics will result in a comfortable seating position.

And, this will ultimately lead to a pleasant experience while cruising on highways. MV Agusta has also worked on the ride height of the all-new Turismo Veloce. When compared to the outgoing model, this one comes with a seat height that measures 830mm. This way, it is now lowered by somewhere around 20mm.

Feature-wise, the updated bike now comes with an adjustable windscreen, traction control, ABS, ECU and a 5.5-inch TFT instrument console. For your information, this instrument console is available with smartphone connectivity. On top of that, the owners will also be able to enjoy navigation via satellite.

The Rosso variant comes with a manually adjustable Sachs shock and 43mm Marzocchi forks. Whereas, the top-end variants are offered with a semi-active Sachs suspension setup.
