The wait is finally over for enthusiasts seeking a high-performance 250cc road bike from a renowned manufacturer with a rich racing heritage. Aprilia’s RS 250 bursts onto the scene, boasting an impressive racing pedigree that translates beautifully to its stunning design and exceptional performance capabilities.
With its roots in the RGV250 engine, which had already been fine-tuned for six years of development and major upgrades, Aprilia leveraged their expertise to create a unique package. By modifying the Suzuki engine with raised compression, remapped digital ignition, and bespoke exhaust pipes, they extracted an additional 10% power and torque between 8,000-11,000rpm.
The result is a thrilling riding experience, as the RS 250 unleashes its full potential on twisty roads or circuits. With high-spec adjustable suspension and exceptional Brembo brakes, this bike embodies the perfect blend of style and substance.
