The new MV Agusta F3 RC 800 and F3 RC 675 are quite possibly the lightest, most powerful, most race-focused and fastest middleweights that you can buy right now. They're intense...!

Both variants get MV's new, updated MVICS (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System), with ride-by-wire throttle management, 8-level traction control and multiple riding modes.
The F3 RC's composite chassis, with a lightweight steel tube trellis section mated to aluminum alloy side plates and single-sided swingarm, remains unchanged, while the bike's Sachs monoshock and Marzocchi front forks have been further tuned and optimised for high-speed stability.
