The limited-edition model comes equipped with premium Ohlins electronically controlled suspension, including Nix EC front forks, a TTX rear shock absorber and an electronically adjustable steering damper. Braking duties are handled by Brembo Stylema calipers paired with 320mm Braking Batfly discs designed for improved heat dissipation and track-focused performance.
MV Agusta has also used extensive carbon fibre components across the motorcycle. In total, 19 parts feature carbon fibre construction, including the airbox cover, side panels, spoilers, engine covers and the distinctive rear wheel rim cover inspired by turbofan racing wheel designs. According to the company, this aerodynamic component helps reduce turbulence around the rear wheel.
