La Aprilia RS660 Extrema represents the sportiest variant of the RS 660 model. The name brings to mind the Aprilia 125 Extrema developed from 1992 to 1994, one of the highest performing eighth-litre models.

The characteristics of the Aprilia RS 660 Extrema

The powerful nature is already underlined by the new and distinctive dedicated white and red livery. Another connotative aspect of the RS 660 Extrema is the single-seat tail, which takes the place of Passenger seat supplied as standard, given that it retains the two-seater approval. Together with the electronic equipment, already present on the RS 660 with solutions such as ABS cornering, engine brake, engine map, traction control and wheelie control, the Aprilia RS 660 Extrema also includes the software that allows you to configure the quick shift gearbox in the reverse position without replacing components, in road or inverted version suitable for use on the track.

The overall weight reduction is linked to various elements such as front fender and new tip under the engine developed carbon, in addition to the special equipment that includes a new and lighter exhaust system approved by SC Project with carbon terminal positioned on the right side and not under the engine. Also included is the silencer support bracket, in black anodized aluminium, which allows the removal of the passenger footrests for further containment.
Through the new components with a given number of suns 166 kg dry, as indicated, a new result is achieved regarding the relationship between weight and power considering a peak of 100 horses.
