Engine
The new MV Agusta 2018 Turismo Veloce 800 Naked Bike features the powerful medium size 800 cc inline three-cylinder engine. This engine has been optimized to deliver 20 % more torque at 2100 less rpm. It was all possible due to redesigning of the engine profile and by using the new piston, newly dedicated intake, and exhaust system with better mapping strategies. The overall performance was enhanced by the use of three-cylinder split. This three-cylinder engine features different characteristics making this MV Agusta bike a milestone in terms of technology applied to the standard production bike. The engine has an oil and water cooling systems that have been built into the engine casting working well in maintaining the overall temperature of the engine. The cast and forged aluminum surfaces lie the counter-rotating crankshaft that has been derived directly from MotoGP. It was introduced as a standard in MV Agusta F3 675 and it comprises the MV Agusta three-cylinder engine. It has the best fluid dynamic and thermodynamic principle with an advanced electronic engine management systems offering specific fuel mapping settings to be designed to provide better performance for both touring and sport riding modes. The new hydraulic timing chain tensioner and the hydraulically controlled clutch have been used but at the same time, it also boasts the mechanical slipper clutch. All of these new equipment allows having a longer service interval i.e. 15,000 km. The spark plug changes and valve adjustment interval is about 3000 km.

There is another important Custom option available for those riders who want to select the various parameters with their own choice. Some of these parameters include power output, throttle sensitivity, engine braking, and engine response and traction control. There are some new parameters also included in new MV Agusta 2018 Turismo Veloce 800 Naked Bike which includes the handlebar controls. The rider can easily gain access to the instrumentation menu by using the dedicated buttons. The latest instrument cluster displays all the necessary information and it is specially designed for this latest model.
