The motorcycle has been created with CRC (Castiglioni Research Center), a new division expressly dedicated to special bikes, completely hand-assembled. RVS #1 comes with a menacing scrambler-styled outfit which is based on Dragster 800. The motorcycle is unique in terms of equipment, quality of component construction, design and performance.

RVS #1 is the most powerful bike in MV Agusta's three-cylinder range, boasting 150hp. Interestingly, the motorcycle's weight has been reduced by eight kg to 160 kg. The power to weight ratio will ensure super sports performance.

Chassis is one of the major areas where MV Agusta engineers reworked a lot. The steel framework has been completed and enhanced with new aviation grade aluminium lateral plates.

MV Agusta says titanium plates are mounted within the tank and the stitched honeycomb seat is expressly designed for comfort and ergonomics. A titanium exhaust developed specifically for RVS #1 will offer race bike kind performance and weight saving.

One of the striking additions in the RVS #1 is the headlight. It is an adaptive headlight along with a pair of LED spotlights on the right-hand side. Each LED clusters of the adaptive headlight turn on and off based on the speed and tilt of the bike. This will essentially light up the exact spot of the road based on your riding.

The RVS #1 also comes with special dashboard support, footpeg units, engine protectors and racing handlebars with specific clutch and braking systems. The motorcycle flaunts customised machined Kineo spoke wheels mounted with Pirelli MT 60 RS tires. MV Agusta says RVS #1 is a limited edition and "One man, One bike". Does it mean RVS #1 is a one-off bike?
