After several changes in displacement, then many special editions (Gladio, Wally, Italia, etc …), the most sculptural roadster of the decade dares to afford a facelift. An almost unrealistic exercise for this creation of Tamburini, as difficult to imagine as the creation of a new Monster at Ducati was. The latter had not hesitated to create a brand new design, a complete break with the old one. MV-Agusta is more timid and is keen to preserve the identity of the Brutale. This is how this hot roadster seems to evolve on details while 85% of changes have been made.
Come closer to taste the subtle differences of this new facies. The famous headlight with the false air of Porsche 911 seems identical … and yet, everything has been revised inside, with in particular a double line of LEDs creating night lights of the most beautiful effect. A spin around the steering column and here you are in front of the Brutale’s brand new speedometer – Since the F4 released 10 years ago, the instrumentation has never changed (except for some very timid graphics). There, this is a brand new handset, with a design that some will find sober, more impersonal, but offering more indication to the pilot, such as the gear engaged and a bar graph for the water temperature and a gauge. gasoline. The turn signals are now embedded in the mirrors. New scoops are placed on the edges of the radiator. A more attentive eye will have noticed the new design of the gills of the airbox, the retouching of the star rims, and the new posterior, where the name of the machine is engraved, just next to the new LED headlights, somewhat inspired by those of the Ducati 1098.
A new name just for a facelift? No, of course. The brutal news took the opportunity to review its engine and chassis. The trellis frame connected to aluminum plates is retained, but largely modified and optimized, more compact and lighter. The column angle is now 25 °, more open by 0.5 °. The fork remains a 50mm model, the internals of which have been adjusted for greater efficiency. A new, longer 20mm swingarm helps to increase the wheelbase from 1,410 to 1,438mm – The Brutal has clearly emphasized more ease and stability. The liveliness should be maintained with the adoption of lighter rims. The rear shock has also had its physical and hydraulic laws readjusted. The braking system continues the tradition of 310mm discs combined with 4-piston radial calipers. The monoblock type calipers are reserved for the new 1090 R. Ah, wait! Return to the driving position. What do you see under the new handlebars? And yes, a particularly discreet rotary steering damper. The riding position has also been revised, and you are even entitled to adjustable footrests.
The brutal is 2 essential things: an incomparable face, and a wild engine. On the 990, that’s new displacement, new odds, and other horsepower values. From 982, the cubage climbs to 998 cc. To do this, we went from a bore of 79 mm to a more compact value of 76 mm. Reverse effect for the stroke, which goes from 50.1 to 55 mm. This should promote the availability of the couple. The value of the latter increases slightly, to 10.6 mkg. On the other hand, there is a slight drop in power. The “small” Brutale now develops 139 hp. In and around the bowels, engine manufacturers have also worked in several areas: new electronics with 8-position traction control, new injection butterflies, 2 choices of maps, improved reliability with a new cooling circuit and better lubrication (pump larger capacity oil).
Could we conclude with ergonomics repositioning the rider for the sake of greater ease (although the saddle now peaks at 830 mm), that the beveled exhausts have calmed down to pass Euro 3, that the driving pleasure is expected to last? longer thanks to a tank whose capacity is increased to 23 liters? No, no conclusion seems possible with the Brutale. We can just afford to try to understand her, although purists seem to regret that this aristocrat winks flirtatiously at a wider audience..
