Presented new in 2020, the strictly limited naked bike quickly sold the 300 available examples. Now a new version has been presented for 2021.
Same engine with slight revisions
Like last year, the limited edition model uses the 998cc inline four cylinder from the Brutale 1000RR. Power remains at 153 KW or 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 116.5 Nm at 11,000 rpm. With racing kit, even 156 kW or 212 hp is possible. However, a new camshaft control system was introduced to increase the torque in the lower and medium rpm range. In addition, the valve guides were DLC-coated to reduce friction.
The 6-speed transmission has been strengthened, the quickshifter revised and fitted with a new shift sensor.
Software improved
Öhlins suspension has been retuned to improve handling and responsiveness. Braking is provided by Brembo Stylema calipers, which are allowed to bite into two 320 discs at the front.
The IMU has been revised to offer improved traction, wheelie, launch and cruise control. ABS is controlled based on lean angle. Also new is the 5.5-inch TFT display, which can also be paired with the My MV app.
Limited edition and with racing kit
The price, of the MV Agusta Rush 1000, which is again limited to 300 units, is 38,000 euros. In addition, you get a racing kit that comes in a special wooden box. In the box is a SC exhaust, a racing ECU, a carbon cover for the exhaust, a cover for the pillion seat, a cover for the instruments, a CNC-machined fuel cap, CNC-machined levers, lever guards and more.
