The shortened streetfighter MV Agusta was first presented to the public in 2013. Based on the Brutale 800, the Dragster 800 is a stunning masterpiece from the Italian manufacturer for those who want the best of both worlds: visual and technical. In the 2018 model year, the Dragster 800 received a number of improvements that affected the engine, chassis, electronic components, along with external design elements.
MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR
Design of the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR.
As with the Brutale 800, several exterior details of the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR have been changed, such as the tiny fender design, headlight, powerful fuel tank, plus the tail section has been redesigned. The passenger footpegs are now retractable for a cleaner appearance. The rear brake light is a single component instead of two LED headlights, it looks very cool. The new steering wheel is height adjustable and any pilot can adjust it to their own comfort. Luckily, MV Agusta retained the aluminum control arm guards and customized Kineo spoked wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. With these wheels, the motorcycle looks both fancy and a little retro. The muscular look and mean stance are supported by an aluminum fuel tank. Its curves and lines are reminiscent of someone who has shed gallons of sweat from years spent in the gym. The LCD instrument panel screen is now housed in a new housing with aluminum components. The front fender of the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR is significantly shorter than that of the Brutale 800, and its supports, like the tank cover, are made of aluminum.
The motorcycle interface, represented by a liquid crystal screen and dashboard indicators (they also help control the MVICS system (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System), is intuitive. The design of the front LED headlight is the same as that of The rest of the 2022 Brutale line-up, with the exception of the aluminum body, which has been painted black, has white hubs and red spoke tips, which together provide an impressive contrast to the rest of the bike's pearl white and charcoal color scheme And the color scheme of light gray and dark gray received yellow accents: body panels and hubs (the wheels are painted deep black). The license plate frame and LED turn indicators are a single element.
Engine MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR
Beneath this ornate body beats a three-cylinder heart. The MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR engine has compact dimensions and low weight. It is the leader in its class in terms of power output: 140 hp and 88.13 Nm of torque. Now this engine meets the Euro4 environmental standard. Many technical modifications had to be made to match this level without losing power, although the top speed did drop by 1-2 km/h compared to the previous model. Riding this 172kg bike is a revelation. Officially, the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR is the most powerful city motorcycle among the three-cylinder Agustas. Yes, this is the territory of real sports.
The Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR's copper-colored 3-1-3 exhaust system produces an intoxicating sound. The size of the catalyst has been increased and noise emissions have been reduced by using a better insulated engine cover. New engine mounting points provide better torsional rigidity. When working on the engine, the first thing that was done was to optimize the balance shaft and gear ratios, and then change the profile of the camshaft cams and titanium valves. The motorcycle is equipped with a new electronic gear lever EAS 2.0, so it has become even easier to control the monster. New engine panels provide better drop protection and also reduce noise levels. But the signature roar has not gone away, no matter what. A mechanical slipper clutch transfers power to the rear wheel through a six-speed cassette-type transmission. Thanks to an increased compression ratio of 13.1:1, the tachometer redline now sits at 13,500 rpm.
All these components are controlled by an Eldor ECU and six electronic injectors and a Mikuni electronic throttle. The bike is equipped with a reverse spin shaft, which was previously seen on Moto GP monsters. It helps reduce engine inertia when making sudden changes in direction, which in turn improves controllability. In addition, this Agusta has several riding modes that adjust the engine performance according to the tastes and preferences of the pilot.

Ride and handling of the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR
The new MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR weighs 172 kg, the same as the previous version. The posture that the pilot takes is certainly aggressive. And you shouldn’t doubt the bike’s capabilities even when cornering. The footpegs remain in their original place, but the steering wheel is now located a little closer to the driver. Fortunately, each driver can install handlebars of the required length on the steering wheel according to his own preferences. The comfortable and ergonomic seat is stitched with a honeycomb pattern.
All this madness is held together on a birdcage frame made of steel, chrome-molybdenum alloyed and welded together tubes. The front suspension is represented by an inverted Marzocchi fork with rebound-compression adjustment and separate preload adjustment. The preload-adjustable Sachs rear suspension is connected to a single-sided aluminum swingarm. The job of stopping the bike is done by a dual 320mm disc with radial four-piston Brembo caliper at the front and a 220mm disc with two-piston Brembo caliper at the rear.
Dual-channel ABS is standard, as is Bosch 9 Plus and RLM (Rear wheel Lift-up Mitigation). You also get an 8-way manually adjustable steering damper and 8-level traction control. If you don't like the quiet and predictable ride controlled by these systems, you can turn them off completely.
This MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR has not one or even two driving modes, but four. So you can enjoy every moment of riding a motorcycle by adjusting the engine response, throttle sensitivity, engine braking, torque management and so on. The MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR is packed to the brim with high-end electronics and assistance systems that have been improved for 2022. For example, the integrated engine and vehicle control system now offers multiple engine schedules and an improved 8-level traction control system.
REVIEW – 2022 ITALJET Dragster 200 and ITALJET Dragster 125 – the resounding return of a vibrant legend
A small-capacity masterpiece of Italian design - a shocking scooter with an aggressively futuristic appearance, ITALJET Dragster returns to the two-wheeled market after a 17-year hiatus. And he was not forgotten, on the contrary, he was greeted as warmly as possible. This was eloquently evidenced by the excitement at the ITALJET stand at the Milan motorcycle exhibition EICMA 2022. The new scooter was presented to the public in two variations - with a 125 cc, almost 15-horsepower engine, fitting into the European category A2, and a 200 cc power unit with a capacity of 19. 8 l. p., completely justifying the “evil” design of the Italian mini-monster with its dynamism.
A little urban badass with a lot of charisma, the 2020 lineup retains the styling concept that the Italians discontinued the Dragster with in 2003. The ITALGET scooter proudly flaunts a powerful trellis (birdcage) frame, woven into an intricate brutal pattern of chrome-molybdenum pipes of different sections, reinforced with cast aluminum plates.
The intricate pendulum front suspension still attracts the eye, and the massive grille in the front end hints at remarkable power relative to its class. And yet, the ITALJET Dragster has been transformed by 2022, and perhaps this is due to the proximity of the assembly line to the DUCATI plant in Borgo Panigale - the scooter received expressive optics, in which many found similarities with sports bikes from the Italian stable, as well as stylish minimalism in the plumage, which has become a trend in the class of top street fighters.
New ITALJET Dragster 2022
2022 ITALJET Dragster 125 and 200 cc engines
With the update, the daring scooter received two new engines at once. The first unit with a volume of 125 cm3 is suitable for riders who are starting to master two-wheeled equipment, or for lovers of calm, measured riding within the city. It is not known, however, how to combine a leisurely ride with the groovy image of a scooter. Despite its modest volume, the small heart is capable of delivering 14.9 power and 12.5 Nm of torque.
The power characteristics of the 200 cc engine of the new ITALJET Dragster look much more fun. The heart of the top scooter produces 19.8 liters. With. and 17 Nm of torque, while the engine develops the indicated power already at 8,250 rpm, which, in comparison with the 125 cc version, which must be turned up to 10,000 rpm to reach peak, promises significantly greater pickup and elasticity.
The 125 and 200 cm3 engine versions differ only in the diameter and stroke of the piston: in the first it is 58 x 47 mm, and in the second it is 63 x 58 mm. Otherwise, both units are absolutely identical - four-stroke, single-cylinder, with four valves per cylinder, liquid-cooled.
Almost naked ITALGET Dragster engine
Both versions - ITALJET Dragster 125 and ITALJET Dragster 200 - are equipped with the same V-belt CVT with centrifugal automatic clutch.
2022 ITALJET Dragster chassis
Not only the design of the Italian scooter is original - the Dragster has a unique design of the front suspension on a one-sided cantilever arm with a pivot joint. The lower lever performs the main power function, and the upper one is both a stabilizer and a steering drive, which is completely independent - thanks to the system of joints and hinges, road unevenness is not transmitted to the steering wheel, providing the rider with the highest level of comfort. The front gas-oil shock absorber is installed with a maximum offset to the center of mass of the scooter, so the suspension has a high energy intensity. Like the rear one, it has adjustable stiffness.
2022 ITALJET Dragster Front Suspension
The brakes on these outrageous scooters are implemented quite interestingly. With the same hardware - 240 mm discs for the front axle and 175 mm for the rear with Brembo calipers - the ITALJET Dragster 125 has only a mechanical auxiliary system CBS, and a full-fledged ABS is already installed on board the ITALJET Dragster 125.
With a weight of 108 kg for the 125 cc version and 112 kg for the 200 cc engine power reserve and specific brake force, it is enough for the ITALJET Dragster scooter to become an aggressive city lighter in capable hands. The main trump cards of a defiant vehicle and an adrenaline rush are top-end technical characteristics and a bright, unique and memorable design that other manufacturers are unlikely to risk repeating. Tailored as if for professional racers, ITALJET Dragster opens a new class of small-capacity vehicles - Urban Superbike.
Competitors.
Triumph Street Triple RS.
Triumph Street Triple RS
Triumph tried to make a clear street motorcycle that you would want to ride again and again. It’s unlikely that anyone will argue with the statement that the Triumph Street Triple RS has become one of the company’s most beautiful roadsters. Particularly eye-catching are the dual headlights, angular windshield and sharp body lines. The Triumph Street Triple is said to be inspired by a focused, nose-down stance. It was a huge step forward in terms of design evolution compared to its predecessors. The motorcycle is equipped with a new body, wind deflector, radiator and integrated intake system. It is powered by a Daytona 765 engine.
The Triumph Street Triple RS variant is the most powerful, it produces 121 hp and 77.28 Nm of torque. It feels close to the liter class, all thanks to the unique engine design, ECU and special tuning. Together these components make it the most explosive motorcycle ever built by the British legends. The new Street Triple has an amazing riding position, with the rider positioned exactly in the middle of the bike. This landing provides maximum control over the vehicle and safety.
The Triumph Street Triple RS comes with an electronic throttle. The RS moves under the control of the most top components: a 41 mm fork with compression, rebound and preload adjustment, an Öhlins STX40 monoshock with a remote reservoir, Brembo M50 radial calipers and premium Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires.
Results.
MV Agusta have a rich history of creating beautiful motorcycles with high aerodynamic qualities. The good news is that, despite all the financial scandals they have had to go through in the last two years, the Italians continue to make the most evil and powerful street fighters. The Agusta three-cylinder engine is the most powerful in the industry. The MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR is a perfect example of the mixture of power, technology and design. It is compact, aggressive and incredibly attractive, boasting a rich set of auxiliary systems. However, like any other MV. Is it enough to stand up to the likes of the Ducati 821 and Triumph Street Triple? To be honest, this is a very difficult task, but the guys from Agusta know a lot about the art of motorcycles and can surprise you with the equipment.
DESIGN
As for design, I will not reveal America to you when I say that Italians cannot be confused with the Japanese, Europeans, or Americans. Italians always have a special approach to creating the design of their motorcycles. What about design, technical and engineering solutions? And MV AGUSTA, as you suspect, is no exception. Their most beautiful monopendulum, their tubular steel frame... And, by the way, despite the fact that it is steel and not aluminum, like most modern motorcycles, the Italians found a solution here too: its weight still remained less than one hundred and seventy kilograms.
The hole under the seat caught my attention: I didn’t fully understand what it was for, but it looked very nice. And the rear passenger seat also looks very unusual, it is no longer just a piece of foam rubber covered in leather, but a very coolly designed chair. In general, the motorcycle is a real work of art.
The headlight also looks stylish: at first glance it seems that it was removed from a Mini Cooper and somewhere along the narrow Italian streets, now a one-eyed Minik is driving. There are no LEDs or xenons here, just regular halogen bulbs. Although no, the dimensions here are “LED”.
Very beautiful and informative dashboard. Even though it is not analog, but digital, even in strong sun, everything was very clearly readable.
