The MV Agusta Rush 1000 represents a limited-run streetfighter motorcycle crafted by the Italian brand MV Agusta. Inspired by drag racing, this model is derived from the Brutale 1000RR and was unveiled at the 2019 Milan EICMA exhibition. Production was capped at just 300 units,[1] with manufacturing commencing in June of 2020.[2]
Engine
The Rush is powered by the same engine found in the Brutale 1000RR, a liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder four-stroke unit positioned transversely within the frame. It features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and a total of sixteen 'radial' valves, complemented by electronic multipoint fuel injection and an induction discharge electronic ignition system. The engine's displacement measures 998 cubic centimetres (60.9 cu in), and it has been enhanced for both the Brutale 1000RR and Rush models through titanium connecting rods, revised valve guides, updated camshafts, and an upgraded ECU. Its power output is rated at 205 bhp, which increases to 209 bhp when equipped with the optional race exhaust and ECU upgrade.[3][4]
Chassis
The engine is mounted within a tubular aluminium and steel trellis frame and functions as a stressed component. At the rear, a single-sided swingarm is managed by an Öhlins EC suspension system.[2] The front suspension employs semi-active Öhlins forks, while braking duties are handled by twin front and single rear disc brakes supplied by Braking. The front wheel features spokes, whereas the rear wheel is forged alloy with a carbon fibre covering.[3]
Numerous body panels are crafted from CNC-machined aluminium, titanium, and carbon fibre, contributing to a dry weight of approximately 405 pounds (184 kg).[2]
Electronics
The motorcycle is equipped with a comprehensive electronics package that includes traction control, launch control, an up/down quickshifter,[2] ABS, anti-wheelie functionality, cruise control,[3] and electronically adjustable suspension.[4] Riders can select from four modes: Sport, Race, Rain, and Custom.[1]
