The motorcycle

Ten in total signed by the experts of aprilia-racing and delivered directly to the officeaccording to the indications. Examples with peculiar characteristics and high power, starting from a model Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory. A notable basis on which the specialists then intervened aprilia-racing.
The chassis includes a braking system Brembo with pliers GP4-MS machined from solid and a pair of steel discs with technology T Drive controlled by a 19×16 radial pump, still machined from solid. One of the aspects highlighted together with a system ANN (Aprilia No Neutral), a transmission with neutral positioned under first gear, favoring quicker engagement between first and second gear, also supporting downshifts. An absolute novelty for an example on sale, albeit in a very limited series. Also indicated are Marchesini forged magnesium rims and Pirelli-branded slick tyres.
The power amounts to 225 horses and is developed from a 4 cc V1.078 engine made by Aprilia Racing, defined by hand. The same tuning concerns all tolerances, as expected for racing engines. These include new intake camshafts, new valve return springs and caps, new convex cups which allow the use of shafts with more aggressive cam profiles, considering the experience in the Superbike Championship.
One is also highlighted Sprint Filter in light of the high performance and also used in racing in place of an air filter, as well as specific mapping of the control unit. The X in the name underlines the ten years of the project RSV4, seven times world champion among the derivatives of the series.
Also noteworthy is the weight reduction, based on the value of 165 kg dry, taking the indications again. A figure obtained thanks to the use of lightweight components, from a carbon fairing with colors that refer to the prototype Aprilia RS-GP, to the smaller mass tank. Also distinguishable is a control panel with a sporty configuration and an Akrapovič exhaust system with titanium collectors and a carbon muffler. Furthermore, various billet aluminum components stand out, such as the clutch lever, adjustable footrests, upper steering plate, engine crankcase protections and front brake lever protection, always considering what has been reported.
