MV Agusta Teases New 'Alpine' Model

Italian motorcycle brand MV Agusta has released a teaser image which seems to show an upcoming motorcycle, which is likely to be the result of collaboration with French car brand Alpine. The MV Agusta Alpine, as it's likely to be called, is expected to be unveiled on December 10, 2020, and will wear the same 'A' logo used by the French automotive firm. There's little else which is known at this stage about the new machine, apart from the fact that the bike is expected to come in a blue and grey colour scheme.

The part of the bike shown in the teaser image is difficult to ascertain, but it appears to be part of the front fairing of a sports bike, and could very well be the inlet scoops of a F3 800-derived new model. The name Alpine also could allude to a new adventure model, a segment MV Agusta has been rumoured to be considering for sometime now. However, at this stage, we're not entirely sure of the Alpine will be a completely new sports model, based on a new 900 cc engine, or if it will be the first adventure model from the Italian brand. More details will only be known when the bike is unveiled on December 10, 2020.
