Limited Edition MV Agusta F3 800 RC Now in India
The exotic Italian bike-makers are bringing six units of the limited-edition MV Agusta F3 800 RC that will be sold at Rs 21.99 lakh (ex-showroom) each.

The MV Agusta F3 800 RC weighs just 165 kg dry, making it a perfect tool for the racetrack.

The kit includes a titanium SC Project exhaust, a special ECU, and lightweight parts.
Electronic aids on the MV Agusta F3 800 RC are based on the MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) that has its origins on the racetrack. The bike will also have four riding modes and eight-level traction control, giving a rider total control and stability. Electronic Assisted Shifting (up and down) has been revised to reduce shift-times. The F3 800 RC gets fully-adjustable 43-mm Marzocchi USD forks, fully-adjustable Sachs monoshock on a single-sided swingarm, Brembo monobloc calipers up front and a two-piston Brembo caliper at the rear.
Safety features such as the two-channel Bosch 9 PLUS ABS with race mode, allow the bike to be ridden with more confidence and ease. The Rear Wheel Lift-Up Mitigation system allows the rider to use the front brakes hard, while avoiding any rear wheel lift.
