MV Agusta Returns To Grand Prix Racing In Moto2

MV Agusta shows off its new Moto2 racebike that it will contest the 2019 Moto2 World Championship

August 1, 2018

MV Agusta is partnering with Forward Racing next season for the 2019 Moto2 World Championship—marking the Italian motorcycle manufacturer's return to Grand Prix racing after a 42-year hiatus. The Varese, Italy, company is looking to leverage its expertise and technical know-how in the three-cylinder sport segment with the engine switch from Honda's 599cc inline-four to the all-new Triumph 765cc inline-three platform that will debut for the 2019 season. Check out studio photos of MV's latest creation.

Despite employing a spec engine, the chassis is all to MV’s specification. The Italian brand is unique in the segment with its use of a mixed steel and aluminum main frame.MV Agusta
