The new MV Agusta – the anticipated F3 – is finally out. The Italian manifacturer says the F3 is the most technologically advanced 600cc motorcycle ever produced. Thebike features a whole range of electronics – ride-by-wire with multi maps, traction control. The bike has an advanced frame which incorporates a mix of steel tubing and aluminium side plates that wrap around the ultra compact engine. The compact engine dimensions left the maximum liberty to design the most advanced chassis on the market.
The powerplant of the F3 is a newly developed 675cc inline-three cylinder. The engine delivers 137hp and is coupled with a six-speed gearbox. The powerplant is incredibly modern in design, technologically advanced and capable of generating the most power ever seen in this category. One of the numerous technical features is the counter-rotating crankshaft, never before seen on a production supersport engine. The components of the suspension are of the highest quality. There is an adjustable Marzocchi fork at the front and a Sachs shock at the rear. The brake master cylinder comes from Nissin while the calipers and the discs carries a Brembo tag.
The new F3 is due to enter production next october, when it will go on for sale for an expected 11,000 euros.
