Aprilia RSV4 R APRC 2012

Aprilia RSV4 R APRC 2012

Starting with the Aprilia, its 65-degree V-Four engine is the centerpiece of an overall design that focuses on mass centralization and is placed as forward as possible within the lithe chassis. The fuel tank’s smallish exterior appearance is because the rest of it is hidden underneath the seat. This gives the rider a very close relationship with the bars, and the extremely tiny tail section further exemplifies this compact feel.

Ironically, the Aprilia has a slightly longer wheelbase than the Yamaha, coming in at 55.9 inches, 0.2-inch longer than the R1. Power was not the RSV4’s strong suit last year as our test bike made 149.5 hp to the wheel at 12,800 rpm and 70.2 ft.-lbs of torque at 10,100 rpm. Both numbers at or near the bottom of our 2010 literbike combatants. This dyno deficit was largely forgiven once in motion, as its supremely agile chassis allowed the rider to choose lines with complete precision, and the standard Brembo monobloc brakes and 320mm discs were rated highly.

Aprilia RSV4 FACTORY APRC 2012

FROM APRILIA'S DOMINATION IN THE WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, THE MOTORCYCLE THAT ALREADY SET NEW STANDARDS FOR THE SUPERSPORTS STREET BIKE GENRE: APRILIA RSV4 FACTORY APRC.

A SYMBOL OF THE “RACE READY” BIKE, RSV4 FACTORY APRC IS EVEN FASTER AND SAFER ON THE TRACK TODAY THANKS TO THE APRC DYNAMIC CONTROLS PACKAGE.

THREE INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS PATENTED BY APRILIA WHICH CONSTANTLY MONITOR THE DYNAMIC CONDITIONS OF THE BIKE AND OPERATE ON THE ENGINE CONTROL TO SUPPORT THE RIDER IN REACHING MAXIMUM RACING SPEED.

Racing heritage

Created with the single-minded goal of being simply the best on the track and on the road, since its inception the Aprilia RSV4 has astonished the world with its looks, technology and performance. The first 65° V-4 engine ever in a sports production bike, a chassis worthy of a 250 GP, Ride By Wire, multimap engine management: all these are accomplished achievements for the Aprilia RSV4, that tops unique architecture and specs with Aprilia's signature excellent rideability brought to the next level.

But records are made to be broken. Thanks to the unrelenting efforts of the Aprilia R&D department and a very close collaboration between Racing Department and production, the Aprilia RSV4 has made a giant leap forward.

The RSV4 Factory APRC is a milestone in the history of super sport bikes. All of the racing expertise and indications gathered during the successful 2010 season of World Champion Max Biaggi were brought together in a bike that sets a new standard for future road bike development.

Unique adjustable traction control capable of self-adjusting to suit different types of tyres, wheelie control, launch control, quick shift: these are the RSV4 Factory APRC's new features that raise the bar in track performance even further up.

Aprilia's technological supremacy meant that every aspect of the electronic management system for the RSV4 Factory SBK, with which Max Biaggi dominated the 2010 World Superbike Championship, could be developed in house. As a result of the innovative know how developed on the circuit and the close collaboration between the team, the Racing Division and the manufacturing division, the transfer of this technology from the track to production was practically instantaneous. This is how the Aprilia people were able to turn out the fastest, most effective bike on the track, a bike whose only goal is to post the fastest lap.

State of art technology

This new technology is brought together in the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package, basically the state of the art in dynamic performance control, a multi-patented system that makes Superbike winning technology available to professional racing riders and hobby riders alike. All this comes in an easy to use, intuitive package.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC's improvements are not limited to the electronic management system. The 65° V4 engine offers improved lubrication and closer spaced gears for better acceleration. The new, lighter exhaust features an advanced butterfly valve management system to suit the Ride By Wire mapping for improved breathing and efficiency throughout the RPM range.

In addition, the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC is the first super sport bike sporting the homologated new-generation extra performance dual blend 200/55 tyres developed in collaboration with Pirelli based on the expertise gathered on World Superbike racing circuits.
