The MV Agusta Brutale Pirelli Edition: Two Iconic Italian Brands Unite

We love it when great brands collaborate. The MV Agusta Brutale Pirelli Edition gains special Pirelli Edition livery, new tech, and more.

Italian motorcycles are known to marry stellar performance with uncompromising design, and perhaps the first brand most think of is the Ducati. But of course, there are other prominent bike makers like Aprilia, MV Agusta, Moto Guzzi, and Bimota.

Founded in 1945, MV Agusta’s heritage is rich in racing with motorcycles, including the old-school 750 America and the newer F4 1000. Now, and perhaps the most Italian bike out there, is the new MV Agusta Brutale Pirelli Edition: a 2-wheel rocket celebrating the two brands’ partnerships.

Special Features:

  • Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires with coloured lettering
  • Pirelli decals and branding
  • Special Pirelli Edition livery and graphics
  • MV Agusta’s signature MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) with multiple riding modes
  • Quick-shifter
  • MV EAS 2.0 electronic up and down gearshift
  • Ride-by-wire throttle control

Working with Pirelli Design, this Brutale special edition is based on Agusta’s naked street-fighter bike, wearing Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP rubber on 17-inch wheels – the one at the back measuring half a foot wide.

Powered by an 800cc three-cylinder engine, the MV Agusta Brutale Pirelli Edition cranks out 116 hp and finds matte black styling paired with either a red or blue trim. Similar to how Pirelli handles their F1 tires, the MV Agusta’s tires also find the red or blue trim on the sidewall, giving it that extra level of racing appeal.

For more info, watch for the official reveal of Pirelli Edition Brutale at the upcoming EICMA motorcycle show in Milan.
