Aprilia RSV-4RR (2018)

The Aprilia RSV-4RR – a machine born from the very same technology developed for its MotoGP counterpart. With three engine maps selectable by the rider in motion (Track, Sport, and Race), this Italian thoroughbred is primed to deliver uncompromising performance.

A 10kg weight loss and a claimed maximum power output of 212bhp make it clear that Aprilia has spared no expense in crafting a machine capable of dominating any road or track. The Magneti Marelli digital electronic ignition system ensures seamless power delivery, while the unique stick-coil-type coils add another layer of sophistication to this already potent engine.

But what truly sets the RSV-4RR apart is its Factory Works kit – a bespoke package that not only maximizes engine performance but also reduces weight and improves aerodynamics. Hand-built by factory race technicians in Italy, this limited-edition machine is a masterclass in precision engineering, boasting a claimed 215hp at the crank and GP-level aerodynamics courtesy of its winglets (or “aerodynamic appendages” as Aprilia prefers to call them).

The result is an experience that borders on the sublime – a fusion of raw power, razor-sharp handling, and cutting-edge technology that will leave even the most seasoned riders awestruck. The Aprilia RSV-4RR is more than just a motorcycle – it’s a statement of intent from one of the world’s top manufacturers, and an invitation to join the exclusive club of true performance enthusiasts.
