The MV Agusta F3 RR tops the brand’s sportbike line for 2022, receiving a range of revisions focused on performance and aesthetic enhancement. The bike will start at 21,900 euros (around $25,500 at the time of this report).
The 798cc triple-powered streetbike is revamped by way of several adjustments aimed to smooth out delivery while improving output. These adjustments include new valve guides and DLC treated tappets, updated main bearings which are designed to reduce friction and inertia, along with an all-new exhaust system.
The bike produces a claimed 147 hp in standard trim (155 hp is available with the optional race kit upgrade) and torque reaches 65 pound-feet at 10,100 rpm. The torque curve is smooth and gradual, with upwards of 46 pound-feet on tap at roll-on, growing steadily to its peak then just as easily tapering off to the 13,500 redline. New injectors handle increased injection pressure while a revised ECU provides more precise power delivery than before. The engine’s efficiency is improved thanks to a new dual-flow oil radiator. The clutch has a reinforced hub and comes with third-gen Quick-Shift EAS 3.0 functionality.
Performance output is enhanced by structural changes to the body of the F3 RR, with new forged carbon wings tucked inside the fairings that produce up to 17 pounds of downforce at the front. The windshield is positioned higher and the fairing design pushes more air toward the radiator.
In terms of chassis updates, the F3 RR gets new frame plates for improved stiffness and a lighter rear wheel. A fully adjustable Marzocchi USD fork and Sachs shock handle suspension duties.
There are also new CNC footpegs and an updated leather and Alcantara seat.
Electronics improvements include a new IMU platform exclusive to MV, developed alongside Milan-based e-Novia. The F3 RR is also packing a new Continental ABS system with cornering functionality. Traction control, front-wheel lift, and torque control all come standard also. The bike is Bluetooth compatible and pairs with the MVRide app, allowing riders to record rides, personalize bike settings, and utilize navigation. The switch gear is updated too, with a new launch control button on the right and a left-hand joystick so riders can easily make it through the settings on the 5.5-inch TFT instrument panel.
If you want to really be ready for the track, tack on the optional Racing Kit and you’ll get a CNC fuel cap, brake, and clutch levers, a pillion seat cover, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust, and a race-ready engine management unit. This option also saves weight, dropping the 381.4-pound dry weight of the non-race-kitted F3 RR down to 363.8 pounds.
Two colorways will be available depending on the package you select. The street version will come in a Surreal White Gloss/Mamba Red Gloss scheme while the Racing Kit-equipped version will be a Fire Red Matte/Metallic Dark Gray Matte.
