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.
Ducati rider Andrea Dovizioso has successfully mastered the last stage of preparing for his DTM race as a guest entrant. In the more than 610-hp Audi RS 5 DTM, the Italian MotoGP star completed a total of 183 laps at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Long-time Audi DTM driver and two-time DTM Champion Mattias Ekström assisted the 33-year-old as a coach. The one and a half test days on the 4.226-kilometer race track not far from the Adriatic coast provided Dovizioso with a final opportunity to tune in to the Audi RS 5 DTM and the procedures of a DTM weekend before his DTM debut on June 8 and 9 at Misano. The Ducati factory rider had previously gathered initial experiences in the simulator at the Audi Competence Center in Neuburg a. d. Donau and done a short rollout in Audi Sport‘s DTM race car. “It was really important for me to test here at Misano, because the level is extremely high in the DTM and there are many things to manage while you’re at the wheel. With the help of the team and Mattias Ekström, I clocked many laps to get as close as possible to the front runners,” said Dovizioso.

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.
