The MV Agusta F3 800 is an 800cc middleweight sportbike, which is an ideal upgrade for someone moving up from a 600cc motorcycle. The F3 800 is one of the first three MV Agusta motorcycles to be launched in India, since the Italian manufacturer set foot in the country in October 2015.
The MV Agusta F3 800, like most of the middleweight sportbikes from this segment, draws inspiration from its bigger litre-class sibling. Built on an ALS steel tubular trellis chassis, the overall styling and design of the F3 800 is very similar to the F4. The single-sided swingarm, diamond-shaped headlamp, the aerodynamic scoops and vents, all highlight the F3 800’s artistic, yet raw character. The short exhaust pipes and the raised pillion seat give the rear a minimalistic look.
At the heart of the F3 800 is a 798cc inline three-cylinder engine that packs an impressive 146bhp and 88Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The lightweight construction of the frame has restricted the F3 800’s weight to just 173 kilograms. MV Agusta claims a top speed of 269kmph for the F3 800.
The MV Agusta F3 800 gets adjustable Marzocchi USD forks at the front and a Sachs monoshock in the rear. The brake setup consists of dual 320mm discs at the front and a single 220mm in the rear. An ABS system with Race Mode and RLM (rear wheel lift-up mitigation) is offered as a standard fitment. The F3 800 also gets a sophisticated eight-level traction control system and an electronic quick shifter.
The MV Agusta F3 800 is the most affordable motorcycle in the company’s line-up. Currently, the F3 800, like the rest of the MV Agusta range, is imported to the country as a completely built unit (CBU). It is a direct rival to the Ducati 899 Panigale and the Triumph Daytona 675 R.
MV Agusta F3 800 [2018-2019] is available in the following colours in India.

I like this bike very much because of its look and it's feature
Bore diameter remains unaltered at 79.0 mm, while the stroke has been increased from 45.9 mm to 54.3 mm, boosting displacement from 675 cc to 798 cc. Power output reaches a stunning 148 hp at 13,000 rpm, with the peak torque of 88 nm arriving at 10,600 rpm. The rev limiter has been set to kick in at 13,500 rpm. A double overhead cam timing system with four titanium valves per cylinder gives awesome performance, especially at high revs. Improvements have also been made to the fuel injectors, which ensure higher flow rates than those on the f3 675.
The three-cylinder engine is an astonishing feat of motorcycle engineering: extremely light and compact (weighing just 52 kg), it features a closed-deck shell-cast crankcase with integral bores. Its water and oil circuits are actually incorporated in the crankcase castings and their respective pumps are located inside the engine, giving clear-cut advantages in terms of both styling and compactness. Further innovations on the 3-cylinder mv agusta f3 800 include the counter-rotating crankshaft, a technical solution that, prior to the f3 675, was strictly reserved for motogp bikes. The aim? to reduce inertia during quick directional changes, enhance engine balance and so make the intrinsic handling qualities of the f3 even better.
The considerably higher performance - bike mass remaining equal – is highlighted by an augmented power-to-weight ratio (1.17 kg/hp) compared to the f3 675. And that's not all: acceleration responsiveness has been remarkably improved under all conditions, as has mid-range power delivery smoothness. These two crucial factors mean off-the-scale road riding pleasure and faster lap times on the track.
A full 148 hp of oomph translates into a top speed of around 269 kph, achieved also by way of a final drive ratio that has been raised from 16/43 to 17/41. Lastly, the mechanical slipper clutch system, designed and developed by mv agusta, ensures tip-top performance however hard you’re braking.
