MV Agusta drops wild new 5-cylinder engine at EICMA 2025

Auto Nov 23, 2025

MV Agusta just revealed a bold new five-cylinder engine, styled as "quadrato," at Milan's EICMA 2025 show.
Blending elements of twin and triple engines, this compact powerhouse pumps out up to 240hp from its 1150cc size and can rev beyond 16,000rpm.
It's a clear sign MV Agusta is pushing the limits of motorcycle tech and aiming to shake things up for future bikes.

Why it matters: lighter, smarter, and ready for new models

Thanks to electric oil and water pumps, the engine weighs under 60kg—lighter than most—and its unique shape means more flexibility for bike designs.
MV Agusta plans to use it across upcoming supersport, naked, and touring models as part of their strategy to stand out from other brands.
After a recent sales boost in 2024, this move appears set to keep them in the fast lane.
