MV Agusta Brutale 1000 ABT: All you need to know
Only 130 units of the bike will be produced
The Brutale 1000 ABT is powered by a 998cc inline-four engine updated to comply with Euro 5+ regulations. Changes include new camshafts, revised engine mapping, improved throttle response, optimised gearbox ratios, and a shorter final drive ratio.
As a result, the engine produces 201hp at 13,500rpm and 116Nm at 11,000rpm in standard form. An optional racing kit adds an Arrow titanium slip-on exhaust along with dedicated ECU mapping, boosting output to 208hp at 14,000rpm.
Suspension duties are handled by electronically adjustable Öhlins hardware at both ends, offering electronic control over compression and rebound damping. Braking setup includes dual 320mm front discs paired with Brembo Stylema calipers, along with a 220mm rear disc.
The motorcycle also receives several weight-saving measures, including forged wheels and 19 carbon-fibre components. These include the front mudguard supports, airbox cover, fuel tank side panels, front spoiler, rear wheel cover, and engine covers.
What visually separates the Brutale 1000 ABT from the standard model is its distinctive Nero Carbonio Metallizzato (metallic carbon black) and Rosso Fuoco (fire red) livery. Each motorcycle is individually numbered and comes with an exclusive ownership package that includes the Arrow titanium exhaust and ECU map, a painted carbon-fibre pillion seat cover, swingarm pivot adjustment plates, a dedicated bike cover, and a certificate of authenticity. The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 ABT is priced at EUR 40,990 (approximately Rs 46 lakh) in Italy.
