Description
Suited to any riding style
The Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension system makes it a breeze to customise and calibrate the shock absorbers and fork, with a choice of semi-active and manual mode, both easy to activate via buttons on the handlebar. Further personalisation options come in the form of 3 maps that regulate the suspension in different ways.
Team work at its best
The RSV4 Factory sports the outstanding Öhlins Smart EC2.0 semi-active suspension system, which has been fine-tuned through a team effort involving both their engineers and the crack squad from Noale. Tested on the toughest tracks including Imola and Mugello until both teams were completely satisfied with the results, the new and improved system delivers a significant improvement in both performance and that elusive, but hard to describe, riding “feeling”.

Daytime Running Lights
In keeping with Aprilia’s lighting approach on sport bikes, the RSV4 is equipped with a triple LED front headlight unit, featuring perimeter DRLs and “bending lights” function, where the auxiliary lights increase visibility when cornering by illuminating the inside of a turn.
Shaped by victories
The superfine chassis shows a big change in the new swingarm, lighter and with a lower reinforcement truss. A choice inspired by the Aprilia RS-GP engaged in MotoGP, to lower weight and increase rear-end stability during acceleration.
217 horsepower, zero compromise
The RSV4 has always sought to deliver an authentic experience that is as close as possible to Aprilia’s racing bikes, with no compromises or half measures, and the RSV4 Factory is no exception. Maintaining a mighty 217 horsepower, but moving from 122 Nm at 11000 rpm to 125 Nm at 10500 rpm, this Euro 5-compliant bike is not just a superbike, but a superstar.
