The MV Agusta F3 Competizione is a stunning limited-edition offering on two wheels. Built upon the foundation of the F3 RR, and forged in the Varese factory, only 300 F3 Competizione machines will be produced, worldwide. It pays homage to its predecessors with a color scheme featuring Satin Metallic Carbon Black, Satin Intense Silver, and Gold accents. The Alcantara seat sweetens comfort and elevates grip.
A 798 cc three-cylinder engine with titanium valves is housed inside the steel tubular trellis frame reinforced with aluminum side plates, producing 160 horsepower at 13,500 rpm. A nine-disk MV assist and slipper clutch and electronic assisted up and downshifts harmonize for effortless shifting through the gearbox.
The suspension assembly features a pair of adjustable Öhlins 43mm NIX30 upside-down TiN-coated forks. On the back end, an Öhlins TTX 36 shock absorber with dual-tube technology and an external piggyback reservoir are paired with an aluminum single-sided swingarm. The setup includes a 19-position adjustable steering damper.
The F3 Competizione employs Brembo components in the braking department with 320 mm front discs and Stylema monobloc radial-mount calipers, along with a 220 mm rear disc.
Forged carbon winglets integrated into the fairing provide impressive downforce (8 kg at the front at 240 km/h), improving stability at high speeds. The smoke-tinted racing windscreen and specially designed vented front fender are other elements that work in unison to optimize airflow.
The electronics on the F3 Competizione are impressive, offering a new ECU and 6-axis IMU, four distinct riding modes (Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom), and an eight-level adjustable traction control system. The ABS has two modes (Sport and Race). Launch Control and Front Lift Control manage front-wheel lift when the hammer is dropped.
The MV Agusta F3 Competizione’s dedicated racing kit features a full Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, a carbon fiber exhaust terminal cover, a CNC-machined fuel cap, and a lightweight fiberglass seat cover. Lastly, it includes a dedicated bike cover and a certificate of authenticity for each of the 300 units produced.
The F3 Competizione features a numbered plaque (XXX/300) on its CNC-machined steering yoke representing a celebration of competition, refinement, and technical prowess.
