The MV Agusta Turismo Veloce is the sportiest version of the Italian brand’s middleweight, ADV-style sports tourer, and this motorcycle will be available in limited numbers. Christened as Turismo Veloce RC SCS, this variant benefits from sportier decals and additional equipment as standard.

How is the styling of the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS?

This limited-edition motorcycle retains the design of the standard motorcycle and thus packs a single-pod headlight, a tall windscreen, knuckle-guard-integrated front turn indicators, a semi-fairing, split-style seats, a single-sided swingarm, and a triple-pipe exhaust canister. This variant benefits from a triple-tone livery that is a combination of RC Pearl White with Ago Red, and Emerald Green colours. It boasts ‘Turismo Veloce’ and ‘RC’ decals across the fairing, while the seat cover features a dual-tone finish. The 17-inch alloy wheels benefit from the Italian flag-inspired rim stickers. Now, since this is a limited-edition model, the motorcycle comes with a certificate of origin.

What equipment does the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS get?

This variant comes with several additional equipments as standard to enhance its touring capabilities. The list includes heated grips, Bluetooth connectivity that works with the MV Ride App, cruise control, a GPS sensor, a central stand, an adjustable windshield, panniers (34 litres each), a motorcycle cover, and a Mobisat tracker. Further, buyers can opt for a full range of special parts that are available on the company’s official website. The electronic rider aids comprise a Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System, torque control with four maps, a lean-sensitive traction control system, and a bidirectional quick-shifter.

What are the mechanical specifications of the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS?

The RC SCS variant retains the 798cc, inline three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine from the standard model. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, this motor is tuned to deliver a maximum output of 108.6bhp at 11,000rpm and a peak torque of 84Nm at 8,500rpm. Since this is an SCS model, the gearbox benefits from the S.C.S. 2.0 (Smart Clutch System) Radius CX automatic clutch. The company claims a 0-100kmph acceleration time of 3.75 seconds, a 0-200kmph acceleration time of 15 seconds, and a top speed of 230kmph.

What hardware does the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS use?

The motorcycle is built around an ALS steel tubular trellis frame and uses an aluminium alloy swingarm. The suspension duties are performed by Sachs-sourced semi-active upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. These benefit from MV Agusta Chassis Stability Control. The braking setup comprises twin 320mm discs at the front and a single 220mm rotor at the back – both grabbed by Brembo-sourced callipers. The motorcycle boasts a 21.5-litre fuel tank and tips the weighing scale at 199kg (dry).

Will the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce RC SCS come to India?

MV Agusta currently does not operate in India, and thus, this motorcycle is not likely to arrive in our market in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, this motorcycle competes against the likes of the Ducati Multistrada V2 and BMW F 900 XR in the international markets.
