2011 MV Agusta F4 Review Frecce Tricolore

2011 MV Agusta F4 Tricolour Arrows Review

The admiration, wonder, magic. These are the feelings that the exhibitions of the Italian aerobatic team faced since its founding. A homogeneous group of pilots from the Air Force can make the Italian colors proudly in the world during its long history, with the highest level of professionalism, performance and elegance. These findings are the result of an ongoing commitment and methodical in the relentless pursuit of perfection. MV Agusta Values ​​also embodies in its history, the brand and its people. The guiding principles it shares with the legendary "Frecce


Tricolori "shared awareness of being an icon of" Italian Style "is synonymous with technical excellence and unparalleled style.

Seal the joint goals, 50 years after the Aerobatic Team, MV Agusta's clothes the most effective and most prestigious of his creations, the new 2011 MV Agusta F4, the colors of the sky and the Italian flag, which produces 11 unique motorcycles " Tricolour Arrows "ID.

The eleven beautiful "pieces", prepared for the occasion with special components in materials like carbon fiber and titanium are numbered aerobatic aircraft like the eleven, and are inspired by its distinctive design. A silver plate on the steering column shows the number and the identification of the aircraft to which each is associated with bicycles.

Delivery of the bike is a military airport of revolt, the fund "Tricolour Arrows", during the ceremony, a unique opportunity to spend the day Italian Aerobatic Team riders.

MV Agusta F4 2011 Frecce Tricolore Tools

Limited Edition model.

The improvement of Excellence: The new MV Agusta F4 designed and developed with one goal in mind: to be the best.

The new F4 accomplishes this by coupling high-performance and in-class treatment of one style with the new standard in the world of super sports bikes.

May improve on perfection? This question has been answered by the new

MV Agusta F4, motorcycle, from the date of its introduction has been classified as the best bike in the world. F4 defines beauty.

The new F4 is not an evolution of the motorcycle before, but it is a new project

That have been studied to the last nut and bolt, the first to the last corner the body. No street motorcycles manufactured in series with lots of praise as the MV Agusta F4, which is an absolute reference for performance, speed and raw beauty. F4 is the synthesis of Italian craftsmanship, no design without compromise

Principles and application of technologically advanced unique bike. The F4 is a pure work of two-wheeled art.

The improvement of the legendary F4 was a dream until today.

MV Agusta has decided to once again push the upper limits of performance and driving pleasure with the new F4. In summary, MV Agusta has passed perfectly.

The new F4 builds on the legacy of the previous model, but at the same time all the techniques and improve performance with the addition of already a huge amount of technical content.

Once the new F4 is designed, MV engineers had one goal: to build best bike in the Supersport world. F4 is not only the best motorcycle in the world or the fastest, it should also be the most efficient bike the field. the bike easier and more technologically advanced

The result is the new MV F4 doubt.

The engine, chassis and swingarm are brand new. The revised design which resulted in a bike that is 4 cm narrower, has a chassis that offers increase in torsional rigidity while reducing weight at the same time, General 10 kg (22 lb). The F4 is the gold standard for the supersport class with advanced technical solutions and outstanding performance.

The chassis, which has been completely redesigned, optimized and incredibly relieved improves the dynamic properties of the bike in each situation to perform a more efficient circuit and on the road.

All this was of course adapted with components at the highest level, chosen to give a supersport motorcycle enthusiasts can satisfy even the most demanding customers.

Every component has been studied in minute detail and renewed and / or transferred in order to obtain an ultra-strong, lightweight and perfectly balanced bike.

Ergonomics are new, carefully calculated by a single goal in mind: to help the pilot to use the performance increase of the limit while driving.

Although the results were up, it is now easier physically and mentally

Riding safely push the limits of traction through MK II, which is and eight levels of adjustment and a dual map control.

With its advanced technology and outstanding performance that sets the F4

A new standard for super sports bike. The new MV Agusta F4 is excellence in quality, technology, components and design - what the

You have come to expect from a motorcycle, bearing the name of MV Agusta.

DESIGN

When the form is beauty. Design of the F4 is a revolution of form and function.

It is now smaller, smoother and more aggressive than the original, but with the unmistakable look of an MV Agusta.

The new MV Agusta F4, form and function combine to create a pure motion a work of art. The obsessive attention to detail, the selection of the most demanding materials, precision in the distribution of the whole technical part of has led to motorcycles incredibly narrow. Not in-line 4-cylinder motorcycle in the world can boast of such a reduction in frontal area, which is comparable to the frontal area of ​​a twin motorcycle. The displays range of surfaces (which has always characterized by F4) is a tapered air outlet openings which improve the evacuation of a warm air, aerodynamic efficiency and even let you get a glimpse of the red cap Vale radial-valve four-cylinder engine. Even the mirrors contribute to the aerodynamic effectiveness of the new shape and two small aerodynamic attachments, which remove turbulence and helps protect the rider's shoulders. The tail is even more the windshield is more elegant penetrating and sharper, the size of the seat is reduced, the tank is shorter, wider handlebars and have collected a stunning album and comfort. The consequences of these progress, there is still a smaller space on a motorcycle at the same time more convenient, efficient, and integrates more and more pilots.

F4, as an MV Agusta, guided by the principle that the design follows demand for action.

Research and development of optimal air intake for the engine, radial valve layout is called dynamic optimization of recruitment is completed now has a cross section of the larger new garment, where the dynamic pressure at its peak. This fundamental element for the performance of the bike will also be a part of the project. Some of the less muotosuojus has been redesigned to better channel the air to the radiator and better isolate the rider from the heat.

The optical front shape similar to that unforgettable first

F4, but it is even more compact and efficient, innovative first sports motorcycles. In fact, the first time a motorcycle poly-elliptical monoelement

Xenon light bulb is the dual function of the headlights and daytime running lights to take advantage of the compactness and reduced weight the optical group itself. The parking lights using LED technology, and the rear tail light and indicators. The advantages of this technology are now well known: higher visibility, lower weight.

ENGINE

The new 4-cylinder 16-valve radio, only retains the values ​​of hole and battle with his predecessor: 76x55 mm. But it uses all the experience activities in the race even before the most advanced technology in

To maintain its status as a benchmark for the supersport class.

It represents the development of the previous engine, but progress is so deep that it is considered an entirely new engine.

Profound development has been submitted to ensure exceptional performance and a perfect marriage of the throttle and traction of the rear wheel.

The crankshaft was redesigned and inertia was increased by 50% compared to the previous engine. Moreover, the rods were completely revised. Now they are lighter, and at the same time, stronger than the previous auctions.

Greatly shorten the intake tract to get the best cylinder filling efficiency and maximum performance at all engine speeds. You can "meet" couples curve and improve the delivery of 49 mm Mikuni fuel new gas bodies was used in conjunction with the variable intake system TSS.

For the first time in a mass produced motorcycle, has integrated the new MV

Marelli ECU 7BM completely control all the electronic systems of the F4.

This is a new ECU controls the injectors 8 engine management system, routes of variable length intake and outflow valve, gear selector and the new MK II with traction control algorithms

Sport and EFI dual maps of the rain.

The intake system has been updated with new springs and lightweight intake valves.

The 30 mm intake valves are made of titanium, while the steel exhaust valves has a diameter of 25 mm.

The house has been redesigned and optimized and is now 600 grams (1.32 pounds) easier compared to the previous one. The gearbox is new, and includes a switch for turning on the switch, which allows the engine control unit to accept Maps EFI, depending on the tools used.

Powerful engine than the engine has cooled 4-cylinder MV, and greased to perfection. For this reason, the oil system has been completely re designed. The oil pump is now more compact and more efficient, water / oil a heat exchanger to leave room for a new cooler that keeps temperatures under control lubricant, which reduces the engine's operating temperature ensure maximum performance and reliability.

The new oil pan that is deeper now to ensure optimal nutrition of the oil pump even under the most extreme braking, welcomes a new green removable filter, which can be replaced without removing other components to improve mechanical availability for normal maintenance.

The water cooling circuit has been completely revised the well pump and water was reduced from 60 grams (2.12 ounces). But, thanks to the optimized profile rotor, the pump has a capacity greater than increased by 65% ​​in low and average speed. Cooling system characterized by a one-way cooler high thermal efficiency with 2 cooling fans and a tank overflow.

Each engine component was analyzed, redesigned and lightened.

New Mitsubishi generator, rare earth magnets are cooled with oil and is connected to torsional coupling elastomer. Weight saving in this part of contribution is: 1600 grams (3.5 kg).

Thank you to the relocation of elements such as the expansion vessel and blood

Control up valuable space without the airbox has been deleted. Qty without the airbox has been the advantage of the increased engine breathing, more power.

Already excellent performance of the MV 4-cylinder has been improved again

This new engine delivers a maximum power of 137 kW (186.3 hp) 12,900 rpm.

The characteristics that have made the 4 cylinder MV in recent years point

Reference in the area remain intact. The 4 valves per cylinder radial contribute to the optimal structure of the combustion chamber.

The gearbox is removable as is the case in motorcycle racing's most valuable.

New mechanical slipper clutch ensures optimum control of motor brake

when downshifting.

EXHAUST

The characteristic "organ" exhausts have always been an important

F4 and will be, for example, also in the new version, however, that optimizes

Another concept for the use of 4-in-1 system ran up with the properties new engine. The four "business" under the rear section has been redesigned and is removable, providing an opportunity to have customized with MV in the aftermarket accessories. To increase the effectiveness of the catalyst, it was placed closer to the combustion chamber, remarkably shorten the time needed to "light off "to reduce exhaust emissions. A new electronic valve in the exhaust system optimize performance and reduce exhaust noise while while maintaining the unmistakable sound, 4-cylinder MV.

FRAME

The chassis is a foundations that made the original MV Agusta F4 consistent and unambiguous. A highly efficient, lightweight structure that is characterized by the combination of a lattice structure of steel combined with the aluminum side of dishes. This frame structure has affected the generation of core developers, who continued to imitate the MT. The new F4 is faithful to tradition and offers a tube similar construction, but it exceeds the properties of the original in both rigidity and lightness. A complete overhaul of each of the individual components whose wall thickness and diameter of the tubes and the cast page design of the plate reduces the weight and increase torsional rigidity.

The new frame is narrower, shorter and lighter. In the area of ​​control is been completely revised and side plates have been moved to the front, which has an optimal weight distribution (52% vs. 48% later). Repositioning the back-swing hinge is enabled MV to improve the grip and the rear wheel without increasing the wheelbase. The strain continues to control the ability to adjust the tilt by rotating the inner elements.

The standard slope is 23 ° 5 'for a ride fast, modern and efficient.

Each component is made compact and has been optimized to be adapted to the new look of the bike. Ratios rear suspension link been redesigned and a new curve that is more progressive in the rear framework has been completely redesigned and is both more compact and lighter.

The single-sided swing arm is a jewel of engineering reality, it was extended 20 mm compared to the previous one, which contributes to the increase in the rear wheel of life by optimizing the chain torque. Re-design rear swingarm assembly is dramatically reduced weight of 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs) while maintaining the same level of rigidity. Fork of the new F4 weighs only 5 kg incredibly low (11.02 pounds), which sets a new standard for low weightin the Superbike category. The complete redesign of the rear wheel well

contributes to weight loss and optimization of cetralization mass.

SUSPENSION

Like all other technical characteristics of the suspension of the F4 is also considered

best in class. They were manufactured to specific standards and offer MV

increased Ride Control, effectively linking the contact information directly to the tire

to match. Behind Marzocchi fork with a tube diameter of 50 mm continuous

contribute to the tradition of uncompromising stability MV. These forks

direct descendants of our championship winning race bikes, and offer

adjustable spring preload, compression damping and rebound. The very light

shaped support shaft also took only F4. The airline uses the axis

a wheel quick release system similar to before seen in endurance

racebikes, recalling the first solution in the legendary F4 Gold Series.

The single rear shock is delivered by Sachs and is equipped with nitrogen "piggy

return oil tank "(integrated in the body) and has adjustable rebound,

compression settings and preload spring. The link rear allows

raise or lower the rear of the bike to help adapt the bike

driver's personal preferences and track.

BRAKES

The system before monobloc radial calipers Brembo is undoubtedly the

the best system on the market. And 'F4, the pump is fitted with integrated Nissin

tank and manufactured to specific standards, etc..

320 mm diameter steel double floating disc with a flange to use very light

and reduced to 5 mm thickness to reduce unsprung weight and inertia of

minimum.

The rear braking system is produced by Nissin exclusively for MV with a 220 mm

diameter discs of stainless steel and a four-piston caliper.

Attention to detail

What characterizes and distinguishes the MV Agusta F4 from the rest of the Super Sport

motorcycles, the constant attention of every element and detail.

Diligence to analyze every detail is not only aesthetic, but it helps

to help increase performance, reduce the total mass and

maintain the level of ultra-high fit and finish are found only in MV Agusta.

Optimization of the new F4 has all the components and aspects of

cycle with only one goal: no relentless pursuit of weight loss. In some

cases, the results are easily identifiable, for example, the fuel tank is noticeably shorter,

shorter and thinner than before. That was the rotation of nylon

which allowed us to reduce the weight of the tank of 1.2 kg (2.64 pounds).

The cast wheels to keep the MV feature "Star" design, but the style is not

certainly more sophisticated. They are optimized for their design and

1.2 kg (2.64 pounds) lighter compared to the previous units.

The Board of F4 is not just a screen where you can read, but

the digital interface between the rider and the bike.

The dashboard CAN line uses technology to reduce wiring

At a minimum, which contributes to reducing the total mass of the bike.

With the application of this technology MV Agusta has again filed an

new standard that other manufacturers will have to adapt.

Dashboard, all-digital, digital matrix technology, which offers

integration and instant feedback of digital data display.

The dashboard is very light, offering a large amount of data, including

vehicle speed, engine speed, maps, speed, level of traction control and timer for

use for track events.

Manic pursuit of weight loss led to the redesign of the superstructure.

The result is a reduction of 3 kg (6.61 pounds) of the fairing and 300 grams (4.8 ounces)

windshield plexiglass. The bike has improved in every detail

with only one goal in mind: to be the best.

The optimization project has also focused on the systems side, as

ignition mechanism and the lid of the tank. The key mechanism, which now contains a

electronic immobilizer, it is difficult to start the bike without the key owners.
