Out of an extraordinary project that never stops growing, introducing the fastest, most powerful and lightest RSV4 ever. New 217 hp V4 engine, even more advanced chassis architecture and brakes and reduced weight.
Set to be unveiled to the public at the 2019 EICMA show in Milan, Italy, Aprilia has announced the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory. The WSBK Championship winning superbike now features a 1078cc V4 powerplant and a claimed 217 horsepower, among several other vital updates to match its newfound performance. The 2019 Aprilia RSV4 Factory has a claimed wet weight of 439 pounds—roughly 11 pounds lighter than the RR thanks to the titanium Akrapovič can and a lightweight lithium-ion battery. Eleven pounds is nothing to sneeze at in the Superbike world, especially when combined with the increased horsepower and torque output.
Out of an extraordinary project that never stops growing, introducing the fastest, most powerful and lightest RSV4 ever. New 217 hp V4 engine, even more advanced chassis architecture and brakes and reduced weight.
For the fastest and sportiest naked ever, a direct descendant of the RSV4, four-time world SBK champion, a new evolutionary step has arrived which allows exceptional levels of performance to be achieved. The new, sophisticated electronic management includes an advanced dynamic controls package with APRC, Cornering ABS, Pit Limiter and Cruise Control. The inimitable 175 hp V4 earns Euro 4 approval, without sacrificing any of its superb performance. Improved suspension and brakes.
Aprilia's proudly all-Italian challenge in the MotoGP World Championship begins from a base that is more solid than ever. In fact, the work done by the Noale Racing Department during the 2017 season came together in the consistent growth of the young RS-GP project which, once again characterised by the Italian livery designed by Aldo Drudi, has been revamped and advanced in every area for the 2018 season. The final part of the season was a turning point for Aprilia. The sixth place earned by Aleix Espargaró at Aragón with a gap of less than six seconds behind the winner, followed immediately by excellent performance in Japan (fourth in qualifying) and Australia (best time at the end of the first day of practice) highlighted clear progress, then halted by the unfortunate injury Espargaró suffered as he was battling in the lead group during the Phillip Island GP. For the 2018 season, Aprilia is keen to pick up from there, from a bike that maintains the same construction philosophy as its forerunner, but refined and advanced in every aspect and with an extremely motivated pair of riders, fully aware that they have everything they need to aim consistently for the top spots in the rankings. Alongside Aleix Espargaró will be Scott Redding. The English rider, born in 1993, is coming into his fifth MotoGP season, the first on a factory team.
