MV Agusta Rush 1000 Set For June Production T he wild MV Agusta Rush 1000 is set to begin produc- tion in June, as the factory gears back up following the Covid-19 outbreak. The Rush 1000 will be lim- ited to 300 units worldwide and packs a 208-horsepower four- cylinder motor that increases to 212 horsepower with the racing exhaust kit. This is MV Agusta's extreme naked bike, if one can be considered so given the Brutale 1000 is considered the fastest naked bike in the world with a claimed 212 horsepower before extra go-fast parts are added. The Rush gets Ohlins Smart EC suspension, eight-level trac- tion control, Brembo Stylema calipers and the Bosch 9 Plus Race ABS system. The optional Rush Racing Kit is composed of a lightweight titanium dual exhaust system with a dedicated carbon fiber cover with billet CNC-machined inserts, as well a new ECU with a specifically developed engine control system map to increase power. "With the production of the Rush 1000 starting this coming June, we are right on track with respect to our five-year industrial plan announced a few weeks ago," said Timur Sardarov, CEO of MV Agusta Motors.
