AUTOMOTIVE INSPIRED ELEMENTS
Brutale 1000 ABT draws deliberate design inspiration from the world of high-performance automotive engineering. The seat features a honeycomb texture pattern, a design language synonymous with the interiors of the most exclusive high-performance sports cars.
The front brake calipers are painted in black with the Brembo logo in red, following the same approach adopted by premium automotive manufacturers to highlight the braking system as both a functional and aesthetic statement.
The most distinctive element is the rear rim cover, which takes its cue from turbofan-style wheel designs found on racing cars. This component is not purely aesthetic: it reduces aerodynamic turbulence around the rear wheel, translating motorsport-derived engineering into a tangible performance benefit on the road.

AESTHETICS
COLOR SCHEME
The Brutale 1000 ABT presents a striking and purposeful livery built around two glossy colorways, a combination that conveys both aggression and sophistication, reflecting the DNA of both brands: Nero Carbon Metallizzato and Rosso Fuoco.
The ABT logo is applied in black on the fairing sides, while on the pillion seat cover and front it appears in white for higher contrast and visibility. The fuel tank features the full “Brutale 1000 ABT” designation, reinforcing the identity of the collaboration.
ENGINE & SUSPENSIONS
The Brutale 1000 ABT is powered by a 998cc inline four-cylinder engine derived from the Brutale 1000/RR Euro5+ platform, representing the top of MV Agusta’s hyper naked range. It delivers 201 HP at 13,500 rpm and 208 HP and 116 Nm at 11,000 rpm.
The engine features 16 radial titanium valves, forged titanium connecting rods, and DLC-coated, updated camshafts for greater responsiveness. The engine is more responsive at lower revs, ensuring smoother performance with minimal vibration.
This performance is paired with an electronically controlled Öhlins Smart EC 1 suspension setup that enhances precision and control.
The system includes Nix EC upside-down front forks with TiN treatment and a TTX EC rear shock, both fully adjustable with electronic control of compression and rebound damping and manual spring preload. An Öhlins EC steering damper completes the chassis package, ensuring stability and confidence in all riding conditions.
CARBON ELEMENTS
All carbon components on the motorcycle feature a plain finish. These includethe front mudguard supports, airbox cover, dashboard harness cover, inner air ducts, fuel tank side panels, and underseat panels — the latter featuring a new design co-signed by both MV and ABT.
Also finished in plain carbon are the central and lateral projector covers, front spoiler, heat shields, rear wheel rim cover, engine covers on both the gearbox and clutch sides, the pillion seat cover, and the belly fairing rear panel.
ALCANTARA HONEYCOMB TEXTURE
The Brutale 1000 ABT features a custom seat upholstered in Alcantara SOFT, chosen for its premium feel and strong ties to high-performance automotive interiors. The quilting pattern replicates the honeycomb texture found in exclusive sports cars, creating a deliberate design connection between the bike and the automotive world behind this collaboration.
The quilted finish is produced through automated embroidery over a 5mm foam-backed Alcantara layer, ensuring visual refinement and consistent quality acrossevery unit. The foam underlayer also provides improved cushioning and ergonomic support for the rider.
