WINNING
PERFORMANCE
RSV4 FACTORY APRC SE IS THE WINNING “SBK REPLICA” THAT USES COMPONENTS, MATERIALS
AND SOLUTIONS STRAIGHT FROM THE RACING WORLD. THE INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE OF
THE OPTIMISED V4 65° ENGINE IS ENHANCED BY THE TECHNOLOGICAL AIR INTAKE SYSTEM,
CASSETTE TYPE GEARBOX, AND ULTRA-LIGHT MATERIALS SUCH AS TITANIUM, MAGNESIUM AND
CARBON. THE BIKE OFFERS UNENDING POSSIBILITIES OF SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT, INCLUDING
ENGINE HEIGHT, TO THE POINT OF NEAR-OBSESSION.
COMPACT POWER PACKAGE
The « narrow » V architecture allowed to create an engine as compact as a twin-cylinder, perfectly
integrated in the chassis, and at the same time, with an extreme cylinder bore, which improves
performances in terms of power and torque. Vibration is mitigated by a balancing countershaft.
The intake system with variable height ducts based on engine speed optimises the requested level of
torque at every moment and at every speed. The Multimap Ride-by-Wire technology offers endless
possibilities in controlling the power delivery, with the possibility to change « character » of the bike,
selecting one of the three mapping available on the handlebar:
T - TRACK No compromise on the track. 180 HP of power available at the slightest twist of the throttle.
S - SPORT Fun on the road. Smooth, electronically-controlled delivery.
R - ROAD Use in any condition. Power reduced to 140 HP.
NEW SILENCER
In addition to making the engine sound even more unique, it sheds 2 more kg in terms of overall weight
and offers increased clearance from the ground for better handling and performance. The advanced
exhaust butterfly valve management system improved delivery in low rpm and reduces emissions.
EXCLUSIVE REAR TYRE
A tyre you will not find on any other stock bike! Born from the race expertise of the Aprilia race division,
the innovative racing sized dual blend 200/55 ZR17 tyre offers a better contact pattern in bends, saving
precious tenths of a second of lap time lap after lap.
CASSETTE TYPE GEARBOX WITH NEW GEAR RATIOS
The cassette type gearbox is a typical racing solution for optimal engine management on any track, thanks
to rapid gear ratio replacement and short gearbox maintenance times. The three lowest gears are spaced
closer for extra speed in a straight. The clutch equipped with mechanical slipper system improves control
over the engine brake and the bike’s stability during any hard braking phase.
OPTIMISED ENGINE
Aprilia’s engineering team improved lubrication at critical points, cylinder-piston fits and cylinder head
cooling.
ALUMINIUM FRAME
The frame is a master piece of technology, exposed,
made with cast and pressed elements, according to
Aprilia’s tradition. It boasts a high level of torsional and
bending rigidity, for a perfect control and feeling, when
entering and riding along a turn. Even the swingarm,
born from Aprilia’s experience in competitions, is a rigid
and ultra-light « mix » of cast and pressed aluminium
elements, which allows an extreme reactivity when
setting the suspension.
RSV4 FACTORY “TRACK READY”
Thanks to a revolutionary design philosophy, to
the components, and to the most advanced racing
technology today available, the chassis offers endless
possibility of regulation to fit every riding style or any
type of circuit like a glove. Three are the available
adjustments: headstock position and angle, rear ride
height and swingarm pin height, and even engine
height.
ÖHLINS RACING SUSPENSION
The maximum quality and technological refinement
to adapt at best the power of the V4 65° to any path
and rider with the use of Öhlins racing fully adjustable
suspension. Stability, precision, and feeling of a real
racing bike.
ÖHLINS STEERING DAMPER
Even the adjustable steering damper is by Öhlins
Racing, for impeccable high speed stability and
millimetre precision in setting the bike up for turns.
RACING BRAKES
The front braking system is powerful, precise and
modular. It uses monobloc Brembo callipers with 4
pistons and radial pump, which hold a 320 mm double
disc with aluminium flange. The rear brake consists of
a Brembo calliper with 2 pistons and 220 mm disc: the
state of the art in racing technology.
CARBON FIBRE COMPONENTS
Extreme lightness and prestige of the race components,
made in carbon fibre, are already standard in
RSV4 Factory APRC SE.
