MV Agusta Dragster 800

Look at the MV Agusta Dragster 800 from whichever angle you want, and you will be amazed to see how beautiful it looks from every angle. The Dragster 800 is truly a piece of art, which shows its beauty in all of its components and lines, with its perfect blend of retro design cues and modern elements, thus making it look cutting-edge not only in pictures but in flesh too.

At the front, the MV Agusta Dragster 800 has an ovular headlamp, which is positioned in a slanted manner, and comes integrated with X-themed LED insert for the headlight. The headlamp is flanked with two super-sleek-looking LED turn indicators, while a V-shaped dual-tone silver and black visor sit atop it. Another element that makes the front look sharp is the edgy-looking front fender, which has silver-finished clamp-like garnish on the sides.

The MV Agusta Dragster 800 is at its best when viewed from the side. The motorcycle has a beefy-looking fuel tank, which gets edgy-looking V-shaped extensions on the lower edges and air vents positioned just above those extensions. The massive engine sits beneath the fuel tank caged in a tubular frame from the top, while at the bottom, the engine gets a sleek-looking underbody cowl and a stubby exhaust just behind it. The MV Agusta Dragster 800 is that one rare middleweight sporty roadster which rides on spoke wheels, which are here finished in a theme of black.

The MV Agusta Dragster 800 looks super aggressive when you start moving towards the rear. The motorcycle has a sharp and compact tail section, which comprises a small single-piece and curved seat sitting above it. The cool-looking U-shaped LED tail lamp placed behind the compact tailpiece looks as if someone is flexing his arms and shoulders. The beauty of the rear profile of the MV Agusta Dragster 800 is further accentuated by the rear tyre hugger with LED turn indicators, single-sided aluminium swing-arm and gorgeous-looking triple golden-coloured exhaust pipes positioned one over the other.

Like most modern-day premium motorcycles, the MV Agusta Dragster 800 also gets a futuristic rectangular full-TFT instrument console positioned above the headlamp. The unit shows displays for speed, engine rpm, fuel level, gear indicator, selected ride mode, tyre pressure monitoring system, engine temperature and many more.

MV Agusta has left no stone unturned in making the Dragster 800 a desirable motorcycle, which rides and handles like a dream. The motorcycle sits on a steel trellis frame, with Marzocchi upside-down telescopic hydraulic forks in DLC treated aluminium, with anodized fork legs and having rebound-compression damping and spring preload external and separate adjustment at the front. At the back, the Dragster 800 gets progressive Sachs, a single shock absorber with rebound and compression damping and spring preload adjustment. While the suspension is on a stiffer side, which makes the ride quality a bit harsh, the upside to this is its fine handling. For braking, the MV Agusta Dragster 800 gets dual 320mm discs at the front and a single 220mm disc at the back.

The MV Agusta Dragster 800 sources its power from a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, inline-three, DOHC, 798cc engine, which is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. With a maximum power output of 140 bhp and a peak torque output of 87 Nm, the MV Agusta Dragster 800 ranks as one of the most powerful middleweight roadsters in the country today.

The Dragster 800 is one of the most richly equipped motorcycles from MV Agusta when it comes to riding aids. The motorcycle comes with a dual-channel ABS, 8-level traction control, torque control with four maps, assist and slipper clutch, bi-directional quick-shifter, manually-adjustable steering damper with 8 levels, My Ride app with Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control and launch control.

Apart from being a beautiful piece of art, the MV Agusta Dragster 800 is a mechanically well-sorted motorcycle, which offers thrilling levels of performance and precise handling.
