MV Agusta F4 1000 2010 New Model
Introduction
Improving upon excellence: The new MV Agusta F4 was designed and
developed with a single goal in mind: to be the best. The new F4
meets this objective by mating high performance and class leading
handling together with styling which sets the new standard in the
world of supersport motorcycles.
Moving Art
Can perfection be improved upon? This question has been answered
by the new MV Agusta F4, a motorcycle that from the day of its
introduction has been judged as the most beautiful motorcycle in
the world. The F4 defines beauty. The new F4 is not an evolution
of the previous motorcycle, but it is a new project that has been
studied down to the last nut and bolt, from the first to the last
curve of the bodywork. No mass produced street motorcycle can
boast as many accolades as the MV Agusta F4, which is the
absolute reference for performance, speed and raw beauty.
The F4 is the synthesis of Italian craftsmanship, no compromise
design principles and the application of the most technologically
advanced materials in a single motorcycle. The F4 is a pure
two-wheeled work of art. Every single component has been studied
down to the finest detail and has been redesigned and/or
relocated with the aim of gaining an ultra-solid, light weight
and perfectly balanced motorcycle.
The ergonomics are completely new, meticulously calculated with a
single objective in mind: to help the rider utilize the increased
performance when riding at the limit. With its advanced
technology and extraordinary performance, the F4 defines the new
standard for supersport motorcycles.
Design
When form becomes beauty. The design of the F4 is a revolution of
form and function. It is now lower, sleeker and even more
aggressive than the original, but with the unmistakable look of
an MV Agusta. No in line 4-cylinder motorcycle in the world can
boast such a reduced frontal area which is comparable with the
frontal area of a twin-cylinder motorcycle. The extended surfaces
of the fairings (which have always characterised the F4) have
tapered air outlets that improve the evacuation of warm air, the
aerodynamic efficiency and still let you get a glimpse of the red
vale cover of the radial-valve 4-cylinder engine.
Even the mirrors contribute to the aerodynamic efficiency with a
new shape and two small aerodynamic appendices that eliminate
turbulence and help to protect the rider's shoulders. The tail
section is even more sleek, the windscreen is more penetrating
and sharper, the size of the seat has been reduced, the tank is
shorter, the handlebars are wider and have been raised for an
incredible drive control and comfort. The front optical group is
similar in shape to the unforgettable one of the first F4, but it
is even more compact and effective, an innovative first in sports
motorcycles.
In fact, for the first time on a motorcycle a poli-elliptical
monoelement light with xenon bulb serves a double function of
main headlight and running lights taking advantage of the
compactness and the reduced weight of the optical group itself.
The parking light uses Led technology, as well as the rear tail
light and the indicators. The advantages of this technology are
by now well known: higher visibility, less weight.
Engine
The new 4-cylinder engine, with it's 16 radial valves, retains
only the values of bore and stroke with its predecessor: 76x55
mm. But, it takes advantage of all the experience developed in
prior racing activities together the most advanced technology in
order to maintain its status as the point of reference for the
supersport class. It represents an evolution of the previous
engine, but the advancements are so profound that it is
considered a completely new engine
The profound development that it was subject to ensures
exceptional performance as well as a perfect marriage of throttle
control and rear wheel traction. The crankshaft has been
redesigned and the inertia has been increased by 50% compared to
the previous engine. Also, the connecting rods have been
completely redesigned. They are now lighter, and at the same
time, stronger than the previous connecting rods.
The intake tracts have been shortened substantially to obtain the
best cylinder filling efficiency and the maximum performance at
all rpm's. To "fill in" the torque curve and to improve
the fuel supply the new 49 mm Mikuni throttle bodies have been
employed in conjunction with the TSS variable intake system. For
the first time on a mass produced motorcycle, MV has integrated
the new Marelli 7BM ECU to perfectly control all of the
electronic systems of the F4.
This new ECU controls the 8 fuel injectors in the engine
management system, the variable length intake tracts as well as
the exhaust control valve, the gear selection switch and the new
MK II Traction Control algorithms along with the double EFI Sport
and Rain maps. Every single component of the engine has been
analyzed, re-engineered and lightened. The already excellent
performance of the 4-cylinder MV has been improved again from
this new engine which supplies the maximum power of 137 Kw (186,3
hp) at 12900 rpm.
Exhaust System
The characteristic "organ pipe" exhaust system has
always been a distinctive element of the F4 and it will be such
also in the new version, which however optimizes the concept
utilizing one scheme 4-in-1 tuned with the racing characteristics
of the new engine. The 4 "outlets" under the tail
section have been redesigned and are removable offering the
possibility of being personalised with MV aftermarket
accessories.
Chassis
The chassis is one of the foundations which has made the original
MV Agusta F4 unique and unmistakable. An extremely rational and
light structure which is characterised by the union of a steel
lattice structure coupled with aluminium side plates. The new
chassis is narrower, shorter and lighter. The area of the
steering stem has been completely revised and the side plates
have been moved forward, this has allowed an optimal weight
distribution (52% front, 48% rear). Every component has been made
compact and has been optimised to be adapted to the new layout of
the motorcycle. The redesign of the rear swing arm assembly has
drastically reduced the weight by 1,2 kg (2.65 lbs) while
maintaining the same level of torsional rigidity. The front fork
of the new F4 weighs an incredibly low 5 kg (11.02 lbs) which
sets a new standard of low weight in the superbike class.
Brakes
The Brembo front system with radial monobloc callipers is without
a doubt the best system on the market. On the F4 it is joined to
a Nissin pump with integrated reservoir and produced to specific
MV standards.
Attention to Detail
Excellence in every component What characterizes and
distinguishes the MV Agusta F4 from the rest of the supersport
motorcycles is the relentless attention paid to every single
element and detail. The dashboard of the F4 is not simply a
display where data can be read, but it is the digital interface
between the rider and the motorcycle.
The dashboard uses CAN line technology to reduce the wiring
harness to a minimum, also contributing to the reduced overall
mass of the motorcycle. With the application of this technology
MV Agusta has once again introduced a new standard to which other
manufacturers will have to adapt. The dashboard, completely
digital, uses digital matrix technology which offers perfect
integration and instant response from the digital data display.
The dashboard is very light, it offers a tremendous amount of
data including vehicle speed, engine rpm, gear map, Traction
Control level and lap timer for use during track events.
The maniacal persuit of weight reduction has led to the redesign
of the superstructure. The result is a reduction of 3 Kg (6.61
lbs) of the fairing and 300 gr (4.8 oz) from the plexiglas
windscreen. The motorcycle has been improved in every single
detail with a single goal in mind: to be the best.
