MV Agusta Corsa Corta F4RR 2012 Review


RR, the acronym immediately evokes the magical world of competition. Cycling for people who require special driving experience more exciting. Created using more exotic materials, ultra-sophisticated suspension and a new short-stroke engine of 1000 cc to the MV Agusta F4 RR is more advanced and powerful in the world of Superbike. When designing the most sophisticated chassis is connected to the new MV short-stroke engine, the result can be an extraordinary machine. The MV Agusta F4 RR is the perfect tool for riders who demand the best performance. Evolved, exotic, and even more refined, the F4 RR is currently the best that technology can offer the world of motorcycles.

For the already refined MV Agusta F4, you add even more exotic materials, reduced weight, and most importantly, a 201 HP four-cylinder that makes the F4 RR the most powerful ever built Superbike. All "wrapped" with the advanced design that makes the MV Agusta F4 RR uniform and unambiguous. A project for those who demand the ultimate driving experience.

Engine: 201 Hp, Pure Power

The new four-stroke cylinders with radial valve is the soul of the MV Agusta F4 RR. The engine is brand new and is inspired by the experience of MV Agusta to compete. Apart from the crankcase castings, the arrangement of cylinders and other elements of the RR 4-cylinder with some previous F4. It has been completely redesigned with a single objective: the Performance. All thermodynamic again, a new crankshaft that has a reduced value of the inertia and bore and stroke dimensions with a new on-square relationship, which can reach rpm worth a real race bike. The piston diameter was increased from 76 to 79 mm while stroke is reduced from 55 mm to 50.9 mm. With this size limit was raised to 13,700 rpm rpm one layer, while reducing the linear velocity of the piston (from 24.7 m / s to 22.9 m / s) and therefore improve reliability.

To achieve stratospheric 201 horsepower to 13,400 rpm with an engine fully approved, including a complete exhaust system with catalytic converter, has paid great attention to detail. The thermodynamic efficiency has been optimized to ensure a record performance. For this reason, the leader of the F4 RR is brand new, including the provision of new escape routes and large diameter intake and exhaust valves. For the first time in a MT engine of mass production, all valves are titanium and reduced weight, while at the same time, significantly increasing the diameter (30 to 31.8 mm for the inlet and 25 to 26 mm for the exhaust pipe). The engine timing is optimized by using a new 4-2-1-4 exhaust system with headers of large diameter cone. In addition to ensuring optimal engine performance, the new exhaust system has a unique sound and is even more toxic.

The contribution is controlled by four throttle bodies with 49 mm single TSS length intake tracts variable.

The new F4 RR engine was designed according to the criterion of low friction. A new gear primary drive, significantly reduces the speed of the generator and water pump effectively reduce energy consumption of these parasitic components. As with previous F4 offers this new engine is a fast removable cassette box and uses a mechanical slipper clutch to ensure proper control, even in the most extreme braking. The electronic engine management has been refined in the previous F4. Traction control the modes of operation and two new maps for the engine and everything is now easily controlled via the new commands that are located on the left handlebar.

Frame: light, crisp

Frame and swingarm are common, as the F4 already excellent, but the side's desire to offer four-cylinder MV Agusta Superbike has also led to the use of some unique solutions. To optimize performance and adapt the F4 RR for all circuits and circumstances, the MV Agusta F4 RR combinations allows almost unlimited adjustment. Multi-adjustable suspension, motorcycle essential, combined with adjustable steering angle (eccentric replaceable), and the height of the hinge and swing the rear axle, using multiple calibrated.

Suspension: The Best of the Best

The NIX Öhlins inverted fork has 43 mm diameter of the tube and a coating of titanium nitride to improve the smoothness and accuracy. This particular dimension of the fork was designed to achieve the perfect balance between flexibility without sacrificing the stability of a legendary MV. As the most advanced bikes, carriers of the front axle machined aluminum wheel from the front fork and a ticket specific offer external adjustment of spring preload and compression damping and rebound. As the fork of MV Agusta F4 RR provides separate settings for the hydraulic damping (compression left leg, right leg extension), a solution so that the precision of hydraulic independence as a variable compression does not affect the rebound . The TTX rear shock Öhlins Racing 36 is simply the best in the world.

Wheels

The quest for lighter weight and better management can lead to the creation of lightweight forged aluminum to minimize unsprung weight and low inertia with the advantage of the increased reactivity of the bike. New wheels on the MV Agusta F4 RR allow a weight gain of 1 kg compared to the standard cast F4.

Brakes

F4, the reference current in high-performance brakes, has only been surpassed by the new F4 RR. The Brembo monobloc brake calipers are state of the art high performance brake calipers for motorcycles, and now mated with Brembo radial master cylinder to the braking performance is on par with the top superbikes. Clutch master cylinder is the mirror image of the radial brake caliper that offers better feel and modulation. Many other unique features such as levers and handlebars, which is specifically dedicated to MV F4 RR and is the subject of countless hours of testing and development all lead to the best ergonomic as possible available on a production motorcycle .

Components

The real Superbike is not defined only by its potential impact, but also attention to detail, which is made. F4 RR, the data speak for themselves. Never before have the race ready Superbike was built so high attention to detail. Features not only created a visually pleasing, but as a form follows function, and F4RR is designed to work with. For this reason, every detail has been thought to increase the performance and functionality, reduce weight and improve product quality, fit and finish. F4 RR debuted a new adjustable light behind the set to meet the ergonomic needs of the pilot wheel. A remote control panel functions (including traction control) is just one of the details of the MV engineers have made this new Superbike.

MV special parts to customize your masterpiece

Proprietary technology and design has been printed in the DNA of the new F4 RR. It is the most powerful World Superbike. But the development never ends. You can make your F4 RR even more unique with the original MV special pieces that have been developed to give you additional performance with the latest technical advances in materials and design.
