Aprilia RS 457

UNRIVALLED POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO
The Aprilia RS 457 speaks the language of riders who aren’t afraid to demand more and are ready to try a bike with fairing while looking for an authentic sports experience.  In other words, it offers the best power-to-weight ratio that can be ridden with an A2 licence. Sporting the hallmark RS family grunt and style, it makes a statement with its advanced technology and a chassis structure inherited from Aprilia’s supersport bikes. The RS 457 is an unadulterated invitation to take the plunge into the fascinating world of racing.

The RS 457: advanced and incisive
The Aprilia RS 457’s outstanding performance is the result of uncompromising advanced technical solutions such as an aluminium frame that incorporates the engine as a load-bearing element. The adjustable fork and brakes with dual-channel ABS and dual-mapping mean you always have maximum control.

Any more power and it would be illegal
The Aprilia RS 457 is powered by an ultra-modern, high-tech liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine with dual camshaft timing and four valves per cylinder, capable of 35 KW of power, the maximum for a bike that can be ridden with an A2 licence. With a dry weight of just 159 kg, it all adds up to a power-to-weight ratio that makes the Aprilia RS 457 simply unbeatable.

Call it a nerd at your own risk
The Aprilia RS 457 transforms technology into an ace  in terms of sport credentials. Ride by Wire was first introduced to MotoGP by Aprilia Racing and can now be found in the 457, featuring three riding modes that regulate power, torque and traction control (also with three settings). Quick shift electronic gear, available as a factory option, is also just what you would expect from a sports bike, while the 5” colour TFT instrument panel and backlit handlebar commands ensure you have control at your fingertips.
