2021 Aprilia RSV4 1100

Design

• ELECTRIFYING POWER: 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.

Features

• DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS: In keeping with Aprilia’s lighting approach on sport bikes, the RSV4 is equipped with a triple LED front headlight unit, featuring perimeter DRLs and “bending lights” function, where the auxiliary lights increase visibility when cornering by illuminating the inside of a turn.
• WINNING FORM: The extraordinarily refined chassis boasts impressive lineage, with a dynasty that has chalked up 18 world titles and 143 Grand Prix in the 250 GP class. The latest model sees a dramatic change to its swingarm, now lighter and with a reinforced lower brace. Inspired by the Aprilia RS-GP used in MotoGP, this innovation reduces masses and increases the stability of the rear end during acceleration.
• AN ENGINE WITHOUT RIVAL: The first mass-produced, high-performance narrow V4 in the world, this represents the most revolutionary and powerful engine ever built by Aprilia. While it meets Euro 5 emissions criteria, this doesn’t come at the cost of performance, with increased torque and an exceptional maximum power level of 217 HP, the result of smart modifications such as a new exhaust system and increased effective engine displacement, now 1099 cc compared to the previous 1077 cc.

Performance

• A MAGNIFICENT 217 HORSEPOWER: The RSV4 comes in Dark Losail, 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.

Style

• PERFORMANCE FIRST AND FOREMOST: 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.
