Motorcycle specifications MV-AgustaSuperveloce 800 AGO 2022 The memory of the king

MV-Agusta likes to celebrate its most illustrious ambassador: Giacomo Agostini. The company owes a significant part of its image to him, and has dedicated several special series to him. After the F4 1000 and F3 800, the Superveloce Ago is another sacred beauty.

A yellow eye, the colors of legend, a sovereign name, the taste of temptation - there's no need to consider the slightest weariness for this umpteenth special edition to come out of Schiranna. MV has long been masters in the art of jewelry and motorcycling desire. Sometimes to the point of exaggeration, as on the Alpine version, where the paintwork is more than worth its weight in gold. The Ago aims to add even more value.

This Superveloce claims to be more efficient than its other limited editions. It's the only one with Öhlins suspension. It's a real pleasure to admire the 43 mm diameter NIX inverted fork. The TTX 36 shock absorber is less conspicuous, but just as committed to high-quality workmanship. Each element is adjustable for preload, compression and rebound. Serious, beautiful work, and the perfect way to tighten trajectories with greater precision and rigor. As a bonus, the Ago also gets an Öhlins steering damper and a new forged aluminum fork crown.

The bike is full of small details that reflect Agostini's history. First of all, its production run is limited to 311 units, exactly the number of victories won by the master of world titles. In fact, he won 15 crowns. The number of stars on a special badge covering the fuel filler flap is a reminder of this record. Virtually all Superveloce Ago models will be fitted with this piece, held in place by leather straps.
Except for the first 15. They'll be entitled to something even more exclusive than the bike: the medallion will be more lavishly decorated, with the rider's name above a victory cup and the year of his first title.
In addition, the bike features the famous No. 1 in its yellow circle - almost a coat of arms, the mere sight of which catches the eye of connoisseurs. The tank is emblazoned with Ago's personal signature. The personalization extends to the end of the exhaust pipes. Look out for the Ago name etched into the metal of the muffler grilles.

to underline the nobility of this lady, a number of carbon parts have been fitted on board. However, not all the trim is concerned. The fork head does not taste the noble material, nor do the sides of the rear frame.
Black fiber is used for the fairing panels, mudguards, windscreen protector, seat cover, wheel arch and swingarm protectors.
Another showpiece is the seat, upholstered in perforated alcantara.

Part of the Ago ' s desirability is retained in the racing kit supplied as an almost indispensable complement. A set of parts that MV grants with all and only its limited editions. The Arrow exhaust system with separate triple tailpipes (2 flutes on the right and 1 on the left) really does give the Ago an enticing vintage cachet, as well as added watts. With the ECU supplied, the three-cylinder engine drops from 147 to 151 hp. The box also includes red grips, a protective cover, the seat cover and a certificate of authenticity.

the 798 cm3 engine is a source of pride for MV-Agusta. Extremely compact, it has enjoyed a much longer career than the 675 cm3 from which it was derived. Right from the design stage, the engine-makers brought in some top-of-the-range or surprising techniques. Like its counter-rotating crankshaft, a rare mass-production solution but technically very interesting; its titanium valves; its integrated water and oil circuits; its minimum weight barely exceeding half a quintal - It drinks via 6 injectors and reflects via 4 injection maps (Race - Sport - Rain - Custom), an 8-level traction control, a Launch Control and a wheeling control - Gear changes rocket thanks to the^3rd generation Up&Down shifter.
Electronics are the same as on other Superveloce models, with cruise control, a 5.5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth, smartphone pairing, GPS and MV-Ride app, Mobisat Tracker and reactive ABS for cornering

Last but not least , a higher bubble and a special trim between the switch and the upper fork crown.
Little or big differences for the sake of honor, on a bike that's already sublime in its design, its singular spoked rims, its cleverly concealed F3 800 body... The Superveloce Ago keeps alive the torch of a historic figure.
