MV Agusta 2010 Brutale 1090RR from EICMA

MV Agusta launched the 2010 Brutale 1090RR from EICMA which divide very few of their components with the earlier Brutale bikes. Designed by Massimo Tamburini, the first Brutale was launched almost 10 years ago and still looks as good as ever. And that’s probably a good thing because even the 2010 bikes, which have supposedly been updated in a big way, don’t look very different from the older bike.

The Brutale 1090RR are different from the earlier bikes. They as their names slomewhat bigger, more powerful engines 153bhp for the 1090RR. The changes done in the bike is better engine cooling and lubrication, lighter, more compact throttle bodies, and two riding modes for wet and dry weather conditions. The bike is outfitted with traction control system and a slipper clutch.

The 2010 Brutale bikes new features are an all-new chassis made of chrome-molybdenum tubes and aluminium plates, the single-sided swingarm is 20mm longer which is made of forged aluminium for the 1090RR and the rear monoshock The forged aluminium wheels are lighter and stronger than before and the 1090RR gets lighter brake discs with monobloc callipers. The seat is modified for better long travel.
