Layout
Any time form gets elegance. The appearance of the actual F4 is a trend of kind as well as perform. Now it is lower, sleeker and much more aggressive compared to unique, but with the unshakable look of the MV Agusta.
Using the new MV Agusta F4, shape as well as function meld to make a pure moving work of art. The particular insane care of every detail, probably one of essentially by far the best strenuous choice of materials, the precision in the allocation of every technical aspect has led to a remarkably thin motorbike. Absolutely simply zero throughout series 4-cylinder bike in the world can provide such a lowered frontal cortex that is comparable the actual cortical area of a twin-cylinder motorbike. The extended surfaces from the fairings (that have always characterized the F4) possess tapered air outlets which improve the emptying regarding warm atmosphere, the particular aerodynamic performance and still let you get a peek at the actual red-coloreddish natural depression cover from the radial-valve 4-cylinder motor. Even the and decorative magnifying mimics contribute to the streamlined effectiveness with an all new shape and two small sleek appendices that eliminate disturbance and also assistance to guard the actual driver's shoulders. The tail part will be even more sleek, the dashboard or windscreen or dashboard is a lot more penetrating and sharper, how big the particular chair has been reduced, the actual container is actually reduced, the handlebars are usually larger and possess also ended up brought up with an extraordinary generate handle and luxury. The consequences of the breakthroughs is an much more compact bike while at the same time more secure, more effective as well as which integrates much more using the riders.
The F4, just like every single MV Agusta, stick to for the principle that design follows
the requirement of function.
The study and development of perfect atmosphere ingestion for your motor, with any radial device design, has required a good optimisation from the powerful intake system that now has any larger plane section beneath the brand-completely innovative fairing exactly in which energetic stress is actually at the highest. This basic component for your functionality from the motorcycle also becomes significant aspect for your style. The actual portion beneath the particular honest continues to be re-designed to higher funnel the air towards the rad also to superior isolate the rider from the heat.
The front optical group is similar in shape to the unforgettable one of the first F4, but it is even more compact and effective, an innovative first in sports motorcycles. In fact, for the first time on a motorcycle a poli-elliptical monoelement light with xenon bulb serves a double function of main headlight
and running lights taking advantage of the compactness and the reduced weight of the optical group itself. The parking light uses Led technology, as well as the rear tail light and the indicators. The advantages of this technology are by now well known: higher visibility, less weight.
ENGINE
The new 4-cylinder engine, with it's 16 radial valves, retains only the values of bore and stroke with its predecessor: 76x55 mm. But, it takes advantage of all the experience developed in prior racing activities together the most advanced technology in order to maintain its status as the point of reference for the supersport class.
It represents an evolution of the previous engine, but the advancements are so profound that it is considered a completely new engine.
The profound development that it was subject to ensures exceptional performance as well as a perfect marriage of throttle control and rear wheel traction.
The crankshaft has been redesigned and the inertia has been increased by 50% compared to the previous engine. Also, the connecting rods have been completely redesigned. They are now lighter, and at the same time, stronger than the previous connecting rods.
The intake tracts have been shortened substantially to obtain the best cylinder filling efficiency and the maximum performance at all rpm's. To "fill in" the torque curve and to improve the fuel supply the new 49 mm Mikuni throttle bodies have been employed in conjunction with the TSS variable intake system.
For the first time on a mass produced motorcycle, MV has integrated the new Marelli 7BM ECU to perfectly control all of the electronic systems of the F4.
This new ECU controls the 8 fuel injectors in the engine management system, the variable length intake tracts as well as the exhaust control valve, the gear selection switch and the new MK II Traction Control algorithms along with the double EFI Sport and Rain maps.
The intake system has been updated by new springs and lighter intake valves. The 30 mm intake valves are made of titanium where as the steel exhaust valves have a diameter of 25 mm.
The crankcase has been redesigned and optimized and is now 600 gr (1.32 lbs) lighter compared to the previous one. The gear box is completely new and it incorporates the gear switch sensor that allows the engine control unit to adopt different EFI maps depending on the gear used.
A high performance engine like the 4-cylinder MV engine needs to be cooled and lubricated to perfection. For this reason the oil circuit has been completely re engineered. The oil pump is now more compact and more efficient, the water/oil exchanger leaves space for a new radiator which keeps under control the temperature of the lubricant, consequently reducing the working temperature of the engine to ensure the maximum performance and reliability.
The new oil pan, which is now deeper to ensure an optimal feeding to the oil pump even in the most extreme braking conditions, hosts a new ecological removable filter that can be replaced without removing any other components improving the mechanical accessibility for normal maintenance.
The water cooling circuit has been completely revised as well and the water pump has been lightened by 60 gr (2.12 oz). But, thanks to the optimized profile of the rotor, the pump has a higher flow capacity which has been increased by 65% at low and medium speed. The cooling circuit is characterized by a single flow radiator with a very high thermal efficiency equipped with 2 cooling fans and with a overflow tank.
Every single component of the engine has been analyzed, re-engineered and lightened.
The new Mitsubishi generator, with rare earth magnets is oil cooled and is coupled to the with an elastomer torsional joint. The weight saving which this component contributes is: 1.600 gr (3.5 lbs).
Thanks to the relocation of elements such as the expansion tank and voltage regulator precious space for the airbox was cleared. The volume of the airbox was increased which offers the advantage of increased engine breathing and more power.
The already excellent performance of the 4-cylinder MV has been improved again from this new engine which supplies the maximum power of 137 Kw (186,3 hp) at 12900 rpm.
The characteristics which have made the 4-cylinder MV over the years a point of reference in the field remain untouched. The 4 radial valves for each cylinder contribute to the optimal structure of the combustion chamber.
The gear box is extractable as is the case in the most valuable racing motorcycles. The new mechanical slipper clutch ensures an optimal control of the engine brake when downshifting.
EXHAUST
The characteristic "organ pipe" exhaust system has always been a distinctive element of the F4 and it will be such also in the new version, which however optimizes the concept utilizing one scheme 4-in-1 tuned with the racing characteristics of the new engine. The 4 "outlets" under the tail section have been redesigned and are removable offering the possibility of being personalised with MV aftermarket accessories. In order to increase the efficiency of the catalyst, it has been placed closer to the combustion chamber, remarkably shortening the time required for "light off" reducing the exhaust emissions. A new electronic valve in the exhaust system optimizes the performance and contributes to the reduction of exhaust noise while at the same time maintaining the unmistakable sound of the 4-cylinder MV.
CHASSIS
The chassis is one of the foundations which has made the original MV Agusta F4 unique and unmistakable. An extremely rational and light structure which is characterised by the union of a steel lattice structure coupled with aluminium side plates. This frame design has influenced a generation of frame designers which have continued to imitate the MV. The new F4 remains loyal to tradition and offers a similar tubular construction but it exceeds the originals characteristics in both rigidity and lightness. A complete redesign of each of the individual components, including the wall thickness and diameter of the tubes coupled with the cast side plate design, contributes to the reduced weight and increased torsional rigidity.
The new chassis is narrower, shorter and lighter. The area of the steering stem has been completely revised and the side plates have been moved forward, this has allowed an optimal weight distribution (52% front, 48% rear). The repositioning of the rear swing arm pivot has enabled MV to improve the traction of the rear wheel without increasing the wheelbase. The steering stem continues to offer the possibility of regulating the inclination of the steering by rotating the inner element. The standard inclination is of 23° 5' for a nimble, modern and effective ride. Every component has been made compact and has been optimised to be adapted to the new layout of the motorcycle. The rear suspension linkage ratios have been re-designed and have a new curve which is more progressive, the rear sub frame has been completely redesigned and is both more compact and lighter.
The single sided rear swingarm is a real engineering jewel, it has been extended by 20 mm compared to the previous one which contributes to the increase in the rear wheel traction by optimizing the chain torque reaction. The redesign of the rear swing arm assembly has drastically reduced the weight by 1,2 kg (2.65 lbs) while maintaining the same level of torsional rigidity. The front fork of the new F4 weighs an incredibly low 5 kg (11.02 lbs) which sets a new standard of low weight in the superbike class. The complete redesign of the hub of the rear wheel also contributes to the weight reduction and optimization of mass cetralization.
SUSPENSION
As every other technical feature of the F4, the suspension is also considered the best in class. They have been manufactured to specific MV standards and offer increased ride control, effectively connecting the tire contact information directly to the rider. The upside down Marzocchi fork with a tube diameter of 50 mm continues the to contribute to the MV tradition of uncompromised stability. These forks are direct descendants of our championship winning race bikes and they offer adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping. The extremely light forged axle carrier has also been produced on solely for F4. The axle carrier utilizes a system quick release of the front wheel similar to the systems seen on endurance racebikes, recalling the solution first seen on the mythical F4 Serie Oro.
The single rear shock is supplied by Sachs and is equipped with nitrogen "piggy back" reservoir tank (integrated into the body) and has adjustable rebound, compression and spring preload settings. The rear link allows the possibility of raising or lowering the rear end of the motorcycle in order to help adapt the bike to the personal preferences of the rider and the track.
BRAKES
The Brembo front system with radial monobloc callipers is without a doubt the best system on the market. On the F4 it is joined to a Nissin pump with integrated reservoir and produced to specific MV standards.
The 320 mm diameter double floating steel disc of utilizes an extremely light flange and a reduced 5 mm thickness in order to reduce the inertia and unsprung weight to an absolute minimum.
The rear break system is produced by Nissin exclusively for MV with a 220 mm diameter stainless steel disc and a four piston calliper.
ATTENTION TO DETAILS
What characterizes and distinguishes the MV Agusta F4 from the rest of the supersport motorcycles is the relentless attention paid to every single element and detail.
The care taken when analyzing every single detail is not only aesthetic, but it helps to contribute to the increase in performance, reduction in overall mass as well as maintaining the ultra high standard of fit and finish found only on MV Agusta's.
The optimization of the new F4 has effected every single component and aspect of the bike with a single goal: un-relentless pursuit of weight reduction. In some cases the results are easily identified, for example the fuel tank is visibly shorter, lower and more tapered than before. It has been produced in rotational nylon which has allowed us to reduce the weight of the tank itself by 1,2 Kg (2.64 lbs).
The cast wheels maintain the characteristic MV "star" design but the style is without a doubt more advanced. They have been optimized in their design and are 1,2 kg (2.64 lbs) lighter compared to the previous units.
The dashboard of the F4 is not simply a display where data can be read, but it is the digital interface between the rider and the motorcycle.
The dashboard uses CAN line technology to reduce the wiring harness to a minimum, also contributing to the reduced overall mass of the motorcycle. With the application of this technology MV Agusta has once again introduced a new standard to which other manufacturers will have to adapt.
The dashboard, completely digital, uses digital matrix technology which offers perfect integration and instant response from the digital data display. The dashboard is very light, it offers a tremendous amount of data including vehicle speed, engine rpm, gear map, Traction Control level and lap timer for use during track events.
The maniacal persuit of weight reduction has led to the redesign of the superstructure. The result is a reduction of 3 Kg (6.61 lbs) of the fairing and 300 gr (4.8 oz) from the plexiglas windscreen. The motorcycle has been improved in every single detail with a single goal in mind: to be the best.
The optimization of the project has also focused on secondary systems like the ignition key mechanism and the fuel cap. The key mechanism, now incorporates an electronic immobilizer, makes it difficult to start the motorcycle without the owners key.
