2015 MV Agusta Stradale 800 EAS ABS

SPORT OR TOURING? COMFORT OR PERFORMANCE? THE STRADALE 800 PAINTS A WHOLE NEW PICTURE. THE BEAUTY OF BOUNDLESS SCENERY, THE HEADINESS OF MOUNTAIN HAIRPINS, THE EXCITEMENT OF CITY TRAFFIC: EVERY MILE AN EXPERIENCE TO BE ENJOYED. EMOTION.

Traction control, electronic quickshifter, ABS with rear-wheel lift-up mitigation, multiple engine maps: the Stradale 800 incorporates a comprehensive array of MV Agusta technology. A specially designed frame, side panniers with integrated light clusters, increased suspension travel, 16-litre fuel tank. Each component has been designed to provide unique riding sensations. Whether you’re into sports-style riding. Or touring. Or both.

ENGINE

MV Agusta’s in-line three cylinder engine is a stunning example of a motorcycle platform designed to be compatible with a multiplicity of models. The outcome of a precise strategy that has led to the creation and consolidation of a steadily growing product range, this engine - fully designed and developed entirely by MV Agusta - features technology and performance that will make it unrivalled for a long time to come.

ELECTRONICS

MV Agusta leads the way in the fast-paced development of bike control systems thanks to a strategic decision to create an electronics platform specifically for the three-cylinder range. On the Stradale 800, the MVICS (Motor&Vehicle Integrated Control System) platform, already used on other bikes in the range, has been given a control logic and hardware upgrade (Eldor NEMO EM2.0) that maximises system performance: it manages the Ride By Wire throttle, the 47 mm Mikuni throttle bodies, ignition control, engine maps, traction control and the EAS 2.0 (Electronically Assisted Shift) system.

FRAME AND SUSPENSION

Comfort and performance: Unique features highlight the versatile vocation of the Stradale 800. The ALS tubular steel structure with a mid-section consisting of aluminium alloy side plates has already been used on other MV Agusta models - but the frame on the Stradale 800 is entirely new. A steering head angle of 25.5°, a 110 mm trail and a 1460 mm wheelbase provide a chassis that is responsive, never twitchy and perfectly in keeping with the type of riding this model has been designed for. To improve traction the single-sided aluminium swingarm is now 607 mm long.

DESIGN AND OUTFITTING

MV Agusta exclusivity shines through in every detail, including the design of the side panniers. A perfect match for the eye-catching look of the bike, thanks in part to the paint finish, these feature integrated LED light clusters that duplicate those on the sides of bike. When the side panniers are removed from their mounts - equipped with special electrical connectors and locks - the lateral light clusters on the bike itself are activated.
