The Aprilia RSV4 is built to deliver ultimate performance, courtesy of the comprehensive a-PRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) electronics package. This includes six-axis IMU and a Ride-by-Wire throttle, along with eight-level Traction Control, three-level Wheelie Control with predictive and adaptive logic and adjustable Engine Map, Slide Control and Engine Brake. The bidirectional Quick Shift enables clutchless gear changes, even on downshifts. Power and control are further optimised through three customisable riding modes, while Cornering ABS ensures impeccable stability and precise, safer corner entries.

All vital information is displayed on a 5” full-colour TFT screen with an intuitive and easy-to-read interface. Backlit handlebar controls make it easy to adjust at night and for seamless connectivity, the Aprilia MIA multimedia system (standard on the Factory version) allows easy management of calls, music and advanced bike parameters. Full-LED lighting, including front DRLs and an integrated rear light within the licence plate holder, ensures the perfect setup for both track and road.

The star of the RSV4 is its legendary 65° four-cylinder V engine, now Euro 5+ compliant. With a displacement of 1099 cc, it utilises 52-mm throttle bodies to optimise throttle response, producing 220 hp at 13000 rpm and 127 Nm of torque at 10800 rpm.

An ergonomic seat, sculpted fuel tank and smart footwell placement combine to create a perfectly-balanced riding position, regardless of context or conditions. Aerodynamics also play a key role by reducing turbulence and ensuring a smooth and stable ride even at high speed.

The design of the Aprilia RSV4 is the result of relentless aerodynamic research that pushes the boundaries of stability and riding precision. The dual-layered wing surfaces beneath the windscreen – developed from MotoGP expertise and fine-tuned in the wind tunnel – enhance vertical load, improving front-end grip. The winglet layout provides exceptional cornering precision, while the upper fairing’s nolder prevents airflow between the fuel tank and the rider’s legs, further enhancing riding comfort.
