EICMA 2012 - MV Agusta Rivale

Team OD Updated: May 09, 2013, 04:14 PM IST

The latest MV Agusta is all set to hit the roads and this one seems to have set its sights on the Ducati Hypermotard. Its called the Rivale, and is the first supermoto from MV's stables. Its got an 800cc inline-triple engine that's good for 125PS. Styling reminds us of other motorcycles in the family, but the bike clears its intentions at the very first look - the minimal body work and sharp design language tell you this bike is meant for being the hooligan on the streets and power sliding around every corner possible. The headlight is a LED unit, and in supermoto fashion the bike gets hand guards that integrate the turn indicators and also hold the foldable rear view mirrors. Another hot Italian we say.
