Aprilia RX50 (2010 – 2012)

Aprilia RX50 (2010 - 2012)

The Aprilia RX50 is a revelation in two-stroke fun, packing an astonishing amount of punch into its diminutive 49.9cc engine.

Its liquid-cooled single cylinder, boasting Aprilia’s reed valve induction and a lightweight alloy construction, weighs in at just 15kg – yet delivers power that belies its modest displacement. The result is a bike that’s incredibly easy to handle, but never dull, as the throttle is twisted to unleash a torrent of torque from down low.

The six-speed gearbox is a masterclass in precision and usability, making the most of every rev range and allowing even the most inexperienced riders to exploit the RX50’s full potential. And when the trail gets rough, Aprilia’s expertly tuned suspension – including a Marzocchi fork at the front and a hydraulic monoshock at the rear – ensures that the bike remains composed and predictable.

This is no mere 50cc bike – it’s a pocket rocket that will leave even the most seasoned riders grinning from ear to ear, its exceptional balance of power and handling making it an absolute blast to ride. The Aprilia RX50 is a true thrill machine, guaranteed to capture your heart and set your senses racing with every twist of the throttle.
