The RSV4 Factory has the V4 1099cc engine, sports standard elements such as forged aluminum wheel rims, an Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension system and Brembo Stylema brake callipers. The new design comes courtesy of intensive research into the bike’s aerodynamics.
TECHNOLOGY
Thanks to the new Marelli ECU 11MP, the new RSV4 offers the possibility to manage a more complex algorithm, allowing the possibility to increase the number of elements connected to the ECU and to introduce new logics and controls.
The new ECU, compared to the previous one, has an higher number of pins ( from 80 to 144), it has 4 times faster clock frequency and a 4 times bigger memory.
These unique features give the possibility to offer a more refined electronics control, achieving a new level of performance and user experience.
ENGINE
To maintain is leading position in the segment and even increase track performance the engine is renewed and growth from 1077cc to 1099cc. This increase will guarantee a better torque curve with an increased peak value of 125 Nm and a confirmation of 217 hp with Euro5 homologation. New engine shaft to increase stroke to 53,32mm and new top side engine basement.
CHASSIS
Since its first launch, the RSV4 has been worldwide appreciate for its perfect chassis balance that gives on track the perfect feedback of a solid front end, precision and nimble cornering. During his career the RSV4 received many updates without compromising its DNA and the new RSV4 follows this consistency keeping the same architecture and dimension but with an update rear arm with inverted truss. This element comes directly from the Racing environment and help to reduce the weight (-600 gr), increase rigidity (+30%) with an element made with less components.
THE STORY
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 the new RSV4, a bike boasting refined mechanics and aesthetics, with revisited electronics and ergonomics. Designed to put the super into Superbike, it embodies the power and brilliance of the Aprilia dream like never before.
