APRILIA - RSV4R
- Aprilia RSV4 R is the latest chapter in a project conceived to win in the SBK championship, and to allow enthusiasts access to the best that Aprilia technology and racing expertise has to offer.
- RSV4 R is created for sports motorcyclists demanding the ultimate in performance and technological sophistication. This bike redefines the limits of performance and - above all - opens them up to each individual rider in a concept destined to become a future benchmark.
- Aprilia RSV4 R represents the beginning of a new generation of hypersports motorcycles: with its essential concept and pure design, it eschews an overfaired look in favour of body elements pared down to the bare minimum necessary for aerodynamic efficiency. The breathtaking beauty of the mechanicals reveals a bike that achieves levels of compactness which, until now, had only been possible in much smaller engined machines and GP prototypes. State of the art technology for the engine and chassis, coupled with extraordinary usability, make this the perfect companion for the rider who wants to reach and redefine his limits with unparalleled feeling and ease.
- These aspects of the project not only give the bike such incredible performance but are also what make it so easy to put every last horsepower to good use. Nothing about this bike is commonplace, and this is even true about the technical solutions adopted - this is the world's first full scale production motorcycle with a high performance narrow V4 engine, the most revolutionary and powerful engine ever built by Aprilia. Together with the fully integrated electronics, record breaking lightness and extreme compactness, this engine gives the bike its unique, unmistakable character.
With these attributes, it is clear that the RSV4 R is the new benchmark for the full scale production superbike segment. The unique characteristics of the bike are listed as follows:
- Class beating compactness
- 999.6 cc 65° V4 cylinder engine.
- Latest generation triple-map Integrated Ride-by-Wire
- Cassette type gearbox
- Slipper clutch
- Frame and swingarm in anodised aluminium, as used on MotoGP machines
- Fully adjustable suspension
