The RR undoubtedly represents the icing on the cake of the F3 range, the pinnacle of performance, fitting and technological evolution. Whether it is mechanics, chassis or aerodynamics, every single detail of the MV Agusta F3 RR has been conceived to offer class-leading performance. That’s why this bike plays the role of a unique interpreter of the supersport segment.
The lap time that’s its focus has also been achieved counting on the valuable experience MV engineers honed on Moto2 World Championship, a specific challenging scenario characterized by obsessive attention to aerodynamic details and chassis excellence. MV has not forgotten the pleasure of road riding, which has been among the core values of the entire three-cylinder range for 2021. The sporty thrill takes, however, a great prominence. The bike’s performance is improved thanks to the meticulous aerodynamic study and the addition of functional technical elements, which help set the bar for maximum efficiency
.
The F3 RR goes even further. The redesign of the frame plates, with a particular focus on the swingarm area, has led to an increase in torsional and longitudinal rigidity, a solution that has enhanced riding precision and increased the rider’s feeling. The suspension setting is conceived explicitly for this new RR and has been adapted to further rigidity to maximize
excellent on-track performance and outstanding on-road rideability. The new rear rim features a specific design and has been obtained through an innovative casting process with a weight saving of 7% and, consequently, a reduction in the inertia of 10%. The result? Lower unsprung weight for a more rewarding riding experience.
Despite full compliance with Euro 5 regulations, the overall refreshment confirmed its 147hp engine among the most powerful within its category and in the 800s. This results from careful fine-tuning work on the timing system by adopting new valve guides and DLC treatment for the tappets. The titanium valves reach very high rotation speeds, while the newly designed main bearings reduce inertia and friction and enhance reliability. The exhaust system has been entirely revamped, from the manifold to the silencer, to satisfy the power curves. Torque and power are now more generous at all revs, without however sacrificing the proverbial MV Agusta’s three-cylinder acceleration as well as its unmistakable tune. The engine is still potent yet even more affordable. The new injectors are now capable of managing an increased injection pressure of 0.5 bar. ECU firmware, management logic, and engine control algorithms were also renewed, helping the rider take advantage of more precise and refined throttle management. Additionally, a new dual-flow oil radiator has been adopted to improve cooling with a consequently enhanced efficiency of 5%.
Even the clutch has undergone some changes. It features a reinforced hub, which has been improved in terms of manageability and reduced noise. The Quick-Shift EAS 3.0 with bi-directional function is in its third generation and enhances the quality of shifting, now smoother and more precise courtesy of new sensor.
MV Agusta F3 RR is an extraordinarily complete and performing bike. Since everything can be improved, the customer is therefore offered the opportunity to embellish and transform the stock MV Agusta F3 RR into a unique bike with a special kit that includes additional CNC machined components (such as fuel cap, brake and clutch levers) along with a seat cover that turns the bike into a single-seater. However, the real gem of the kit is the Akrapovič titanium exhaust - road approved -, supplied with a dedicated control unit, which boosts the power up to 155hp and reduces the weight from 173 to 165 kg (dry).
