It’s been over a decade since it’s introduction. Ten years of pushing to the absolute limit. Ten years of domination. Ten years of innovation and cut throat, race derived performance. Ten years later now brings us a fresh look, revised chassis components and an electronics package never seen before.

The story of Aprilia is the stuff of legends. It started out with the dream of setting records on the track and winning over the hearts of riders, and since then it has never looked back as model after model has been constantly tweaked, improved upon and taken to unthinkable new levels. Lap after lap, tested and pushed to the limit, driven by passion and the continuous quest for outstanding performance. The latest demonstrations of this unwavering commitment to excellence is a platform boasting refined mechanics and aesthetics, with revisited electronics and ergonomics. Designed to put the super into Superbike, the platform embodies the power and brilliance of the Aprilia dream like never before.

“The RSV4 is not merely a motorcycle. It is the embodiment of simply incredible design in a sector brimming with extraordinary technology and exemplifies what can be achieved through the experience and know-how of a racing department with a long history of creating winning vehicles.” - Aprilia

The new design comes courtesy of intensive research into the bike’s aerodynamics. The style was inspired by the ultra-modern RS 660, while the curves, the output of wind tunnel testing, allow for an impressively low resistance coefficient, resulting in a significant and exhilarating increase in performance at high speeds.

The RSV4 comes in Dark Losail, while the Factory version is available in a choice of Aprilia Black and Lava Red. Whichever model you choose, however, you’ll enjoy the revamped V4 1099cc engine and a revisited chassis that has been fine-tuned to accommodate riders of all shapes and sizes.

Improved ergonomics come in the form of a new fuel tank and saddle that sees the rider perfectly placed with respect to the fairings, increased room and a more natural riding position. Making life in the saddle even easier are more intuitive electric controls, a new and larger TFT instrument panel and the new Marelli 11MP ECU that provides improved control of the Ride-By-Wire throttle.
