The Dragster range was expanded and spun off into its own series

All Dragster models were updated for 2018:
Engines were updated to meet the Euro4 European emission standards. The cycle parts were also modified, giving a 20 mm longer wheelbase and 8.5 mm greater trail. The engine mounting points were revised to give more torsional rigidity

Versions

Dragster 800 (2014)

Introduced in 2014 as the Brutale Dragster 800, the machine was based on the Brutale 800. The rear bodywork was revised to accommodate a larger 200/50ZR17 tyre

Dragster 800 RR (2015)

The Dragster 800 RR, introduced in 2015, is a more powerful version of the Dragster 800. Intake and exhaust modifications increased power output by 15 hp to produce 140 (104 kW) hp.
A quickshifter was fitted to the gearbox, allowing clutchless changes both up and down. The suspension was made stiffer and wire-spoked wheels fitted.

Dragster 800 RR (2018)

The bike change in the engine is the update to the Euro4-complaint 798cc triple that arrives in the new Brutale 800 RR. The horsepower remains the same as the outgoing Dragster 800 RR regardless of the Euro4 approval, which requires 50-precent reduced emissions and 48-percent lower noise than Euro3.
The main upgrades to the Dragster 800 RR’s engine include a new countershaft, a redesigned primary drive, the new profile of the intake cams and redesigned valves. New engine covers reduce mechanical noises, and provide added protection in case of a crash or drop.
The engine is now fastened to the frame with new anchor points, which MV Agusta claims increases torsional rigidity of the trellis-frame chassis.
The six-speed gear box on the 2018 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR is totally new. MVA says the force required to actuate the shift lever has decreased and the gears engage more quickly for even more efficient and smoother action.
The exhaust is new, the silencer now protected by by new shields in anodized and brushed aluminum. Dragster 800 RR receives an overhaul that is alos noticed in styling. The tail is what’s most noticeable, including the gap between the redesigned seat and the tailpiece, and the license plate. Also noticeable are the new headlight and use of LED turn signals that pair with the LED taillight.
The Dragster 800 RR uses MVICS electronic management. There are three riding maps, along with a personalized one where the rider can change throttle response, rev limited, throttle sensitivity and engine braking. The eight-level traction control system was updated.
Braking duties are handled by dual 320mm discs up front squeezed by four-piston Brembo calipers, and a single 220mm disc out back squeezed by a Brembo two-piston caliper.
ABS with Rear-wheel Lift-up Mitigation (RLM) arrives standards.

 

Dragster 800 RR SCS (2020)

The Dragster 800 RR was further enhanced for 2020 with the addition of the SCS 2.0 Smart Clutch System and designated the Dragster 800 RR SCS. The SCS 2.0 system, which was first fitted on the Turismo Veloce in 2018, allows the rider to use the clutch in a conventional manner with the lever, or simply allow the system to control the clutch. The system is based on the Rekluse clutch, which allows the rider to engage gear at tickover without using the clutch. Once the throttle is opened the clutch engages. The MV system adds electronic control, which optimises clutch engagement based on engine revs and throttle position, during up and down-shifts. The SCS system weighs just 36g more than a conventional clutch.

Dragster 800 Rosso

Introduced at the 2019 EICMA Milan Show, the Turismo Veloce 800 Rosso is part of MV's entry-level Rosso collection.
Changes are minimal, such as the wheels being plain cast alloy rather than the milled finish of other models.
The machine is finished is a distinctive red and black livery.
The Rosso is the affordable option.
