The new MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is a limited and numbered series, supplied with a certificate of authenticity and racing kit. This model os an evolution of the Superveloce 800, focused on advances in aerodynamics.

The Superveloce uses the frame, single-sided swingarm, and four-cylinder inline engine of the Brutale 1000 RR. The bike is inspired by the 1972 MV 500 model, which debuted the first aerodynamic wings in Grand Prix Racing.

The Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro has combines many features to celebrate complete integration of aerodynamics with style and design. The front carbon-fibre disc-brake covers direct air flow around the calipers and guide it towards the water and oil radiator. Air vents along the fairing are positioned further out and lower to generate downforce on the front wheel and creates a vacuum behind the oil radiator, drawing warm air from the radiator. This aerodynamic design generates 39.2 kg of downforce at 320 km/h.

The body is wrapped in carbon fibre, with the exception of the fuel tank in thermoplastic resin. In all, there are 40 elements of carbon fibre that enable the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro to hit the target both in terms of aesthetics and weight. The integrated front wing spans the entire width of the bike, with the exception of a small area under the front headlight assembly.

Engine and electronics

The power plant generates 208 hp at 13000 rpm (212 hp with racing kit) and 116.5 Nm at 11000 rpm. The most recent evolution of the inline four-cylinder 998 cc engine of the Brutale 1000 RR is equipped with a countershaft that rotates at twice the speed of the primary drive shaft to eliminate high-frequency vibrations and enable easier and faster cornering. This technical solution has a significant impact on the handling and reactivity of the bike, and it increases at higher revs, reducing vibrations by 54% at 14,000 rpm.

The Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, gets all the goodies in the standard electronics set-up, starting with  ECU mapping. Adjustment of the MV EAS 3.0 electronic gearbox (Electronically Assisted Shift Up & Down) has been customised on the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, just like adjustments of the ABS Cornering Continental MK100 system with RLM (Real Wheel Lift-up Mitigation). Switchable traction control has eight levels, while wheelie control utilises data gathered from the inertial platform.

Instrumentation is built around the large 5.5″ TFT colour display and all primary functionality has been updated for 2023. The back-lit multifunctional electronic controls remain, as does the MV Ride App, enabling smartphone management of electronics and engine. Connectivity, including mobile connection, navigation, recording of itineraries and transfer of journey data.

Frame and suspension

The suspension and frame weight distribution on the Superveloce 1000 is different to the Brutale 1000 RR. Suspension is Öhlins on the front with fully adjustable electronic compression and rebound, and manual spring preload. The rear single shock is also an electronically controlled Öhlins connected to the aluminium alloy single-sided swingarm with 120mm wheel travel. The Öhlins steering damper also features electronic adjustment, which can be integrated with manual control. The braking system features Brembo Stylema monobloc radial callipers and 320 mm discs at the front, with a 220 mm steel disc and two-piston calliper at the rear.

The wheel rims are a forged aluminium alloy five-spoke design and the titanium Arrow exhaust system features the iconic four-outlet set-up, originating from the first F4.

Ergonomics

The riding position is designed to guarantee the rider comfort equivalent to that of a motorcycle from a less sports-focused class. The semi-handlebars are located higher and further back compared to a standard supersport position. The footpegs are height adjustable for highly customisable triangulation with the handlebars and saddle.
