MV Agusta Brutale Gets 165HP Cannonball Kit

The biggest Brutale naked bike in MV Agusta’s range, the 1090RR, is now getting all the attention from the company’s Corse division with the launch of the race only Cannonball kit. As if the bike’s standard power of 144 hp wasn’t enough, the kit  boosts the rating with some extra 21 hp.

At 9.000 revs/min the power is 140 hp, at 10.000 it is 160 hp, while a maximum of 165 hp is achieved a few moments later, which is a record for the Brutale so far. The maximum torque is the same 112 Nm as of the standard 109RR model.

MV Agusta Corse also includes some new components in the package, offered exclusively on the Cannonball. The ECU, the cylinder head, the camshafts, the valves and the exhaust system, which is manufactured completely from titanium and is completed by a low and spirited exhaust pipe, have been specially designed for this kit.

“The new technical components enables the Brutale Cannonball to excel on the track: the exciting performance are restrained by the pure chassis and by high quality suspension components which enable the rider to enjoy easy handling and the typical pleasure of riding an MV Agusta bike,” a company statement reads.

“Brutale, in name and in deed. All this without giving up to the exceptional dynamic qualities and the taste of incomparable ride of a naked version which adds a touch of crazy exuberance to its notorious determination.”

To make things even more exciting, MV Agusta allows enthusiasts to design their own Brutale Cannonball through a 3D configuration program on the brand’s official website.
