MV Agusta Brutale 2011 990R Tools LE anniversary of 150 years
Aesthetics
The lamp keeps the same line profile and the same dimensions, but introduces a new design with the introduction of a new element polyellipsoidal and a system of eight LEDs that create a "band of light" effect, which is found on cars. The direction indicators are now integrated into the rearview mirror assembly, which is larger for better visibility. The dashboard has been completely redesigned and now operates at high speed can line with additional features. It there are indicators that show the gear, fuel level, speed, risk-button water temperature stopwatch function, and parameters of traction control. footrests and handlebars have a flexible design to improve comfort and reduce vibration levels. Radiator Guards are no longer made of metal or integrated with the mechanical components, but is now a part of the body. In addition to streamlining the cooler and protect it, they act as channels to provide better cooling.
The most advanced motorcycle in the back with a fine line art, which seat more comfortable. The LED backlight is built into the tail, which is no longer plastic but is made of cast aluminum and is a completely new design. The two exhaust beautiful, flowing along the right side of the bike have been improved, eliminating the weld at the end of the peace and, above all, the fall is more likely and more slender body lines .
Motor
Enlargement of the 998 cc engine with no change in the provision. The cylinder bore and stroke increased from 79 to 76 x 50.1 mm x 55 mm. The reconfiguration of the 4-cylinder 16-valve radial aims to make the power delivery smoother, with a response that is more progressive, strong and harmonious than before, especially when opening and closing and acceleration. To this end, a new 46 mm Mikuni throttle body assembly, installation of a power that no change is 0.33 pounds lighter than the previous version. The throttle assembly is in charge of the new body electronics Marelli 5SM, who better than before, and have a new software for things such as traction control (for which adjustments can be made 8) and a map Double EFI. If the engine is completely redesigned crazy.
Rolling chassis
The cage tube chrome-moly steel, which provides the framework maintains the structure with TIG welding wire mesh, but with a swing arm design.The bigger, lighter and stiffer rear (which has been completely redesigned and is 2.2 pounds of light) lengthens the wheelbase of driving characteristics and greater accuracy, increased torsional rigidity and weight reduction. The new wheelbase also improve the stability of the signing of the Brutale. Weight reduction at the wheels and swingarm provides improved performance suspension. The rear wheel has a Cus-disco, and a new center and having, whose aim is to make the engine more resistant to stress and improve comfort. With innovative design, the wheels are even lighter than the 989R, which are issued by gravity, with a weight of 1.5 pounds less than the rear wheel, and 0.77 pounds less on the front.
The forks had their internal dynamics of oil entirely designed by the CRC, and is produced by Marzocchi exclusively for MV Agusta.
The arms are 50 mm, and the extension, compression and preload can be adjusted. The internal components and calibration has been changed, with the range fell to 130 mm (5.12 inch) 125 mm (4.92 in). Front-wheel drive path is increased by 3.99 in (101.5 mm) to 4.07 (103.5 mm) wheelbase lengthened by 55.51 in (1410 mm) to 56.61 (1438 mm), height of seat 31.69 in (805 mm) to 32.68 (830 mm), and the tube CONTROL increased from 24.5 to 25 angle degrees. Rear Shock covers the dynamics of oil and other internal components. It offers an extension of the adjustable, without a separate container. The braking system includes a 12.2 (310 mm), NHK discs, Brembo steel plate and 1.26 inches (32 mm), radially mounted 4 piston calipers.
Riding Impressions
The driving position is the first tangible improvement. Long, spacious seating also allows the average age of riders to sit comfortably and to understand more ergonomic handlebar position. The feeling is that riding a bike, which has grown from a couple of sizes, which is more attractive. Sensitivity of MV under low engine has changed. Riding at a speed of eight to just over 1 mph, with two fingers on the handlebars has become as easy as it rushes to 167 mph (270 km) per hour along a straight line. Brutal notoriously difficult now to show its new refinement. 990 is useful to become a motorcycle everyday, which can be enjoyed with a soft approach to make more pleasant the qualities that attract you wear rings. And there is no vibration when you enter a highway at a constant speed over long distances.
Mirrors, indicators, throttle, brakes, clutch and shifter react with good coordination, are more spontaneous and functional, easy to use and precise in action. The new calibration of the suspension is amazing for a quiet, gradual absorption of even the worst patches of asphalt. It's like floating on a cushion of air that is entirely under your control, no nervous reactions, only a perfect line holding Brutal, even in extreme conditions.
