MV Agusta unveils latest Lewis Hamilton motorcycle collaboration
Brutale 800 RR LH44 sports bike with link to F1 champion produces close to 140bhp and can hit 151mph flat out
MV Agusta has revealed its latest sports bike built in partnership with Lewis Hamilton.
The Brutale 800 RR LH44 is the second collaboration with the Formula One world champion by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer.
Four riding modes have been included in the Brutale’s layout, with riders able to choose between Normal, Sport, Rain and custom mapping options. It’s accompanied by an eight-level traction control system, which gives added safety when cornering or accelerating hard.
It also packs rear wheel lift-up mitigation, which controls the pressure applied to the front brake, reducing the chance of the rear wheel rising.
Carbon-fibre components have been used to help keep the bike’s weight as low as possible, while a counter-rotating crankshaft provides better handling, too. In all, the Brutale 800 RR LH44 weighs just 172kg dry.
Due to arrive this summer, the bike is limited to 144 units, with each one priced at €24,144 (circa £21,150).
