Aprilia RSV4 and RSV4 Factory: new definitions of power in 2021 [PHOTO]

A renewed design with integrated winglets and greater torque are characterizing factors of the evolution Aprilia RSV4, also available in version RSV4 Factory.

Bold aesthetics

Fluid and sporty shapes. An example of aerodynamics applied with an aesthetic forged in the wind tunnel, which recalls what has already been seen with the RS 660. Functional traits in a performance key with an increase in the air pressure in the airbox, increasing the downforce as reported.

I highlight the winglets integrated into the double-walled fairing, an aspect that optimizes stability and supports the cooling of the engine, conveying the flows of hot air from the rider. Alongside this, the triple LED front light unit with perimeter DRL lights is distinctive, integrating the "bending lights" function to support bending brightness.

Aprilia RSV4 it is coated with a coloring Dark Losailwhile at RSV4 Factory the variants are combined Aprilia Black e Lava Red.

A functional approach to dynamism

The bike features a new and lighter swingarm with lower reinforcement truss, developed taking inspiration from that of the Aprilia RS-GP fielded in MotoGP. A useful solution for attenuating the masses and increasing rear stability during acceleration.

There are several technological solutions, considering one new control unit Marelli 11MP and a new six-axis inertial platform, in any case more powerful, together with command Ride-by-wire and electronic controls APRC with an introduced multi-level engine brake control. There are six Riding Modes, three that can be used on the road, one of which can be customized and another three that can be used on the track, two of which can be customised, with automatic tuning of Traction Control, Wheelie Control, engine braking, ABS and other associated parameters.

Ergonomics have also been refined, noting a new tank and a new saddle which facilitate the integration of the rider into the fairing, favoring a relaxed and natural riding position, according to the indications. There is also new and wider instrumentation TFT.

Motor

With approval Euro 5, the heart V4 di 65° it is the most advanced and powerful ever developed by the manufacturer. Specific interventions are noted, an increased displacement that reaches 1.099 cc (from the previous 1.077 cc) and a new exhaust system. The remaining maximum power is high 217 horses at 13.000 rpm and higher the torque now of 125 Nm at 10.500 rpm.
