Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2019 Aprilia RS 125 Replica GP, a stunning entry into the world of sport bikes that combines cutting-edge technology with the thrill of competitive racing. This bike is not just a replica; it’s a homage to Aprilia's rich heritage in Grand Prix racing, designed for newbies and seasoned riders alike who crave an exhilarating ride. With its aggressive styling, lightweight frame, and advanced engineering, the RS 125 stands out in the crowded sport category, offering an exciting gateway for riders looking to hone their skills on a machine that echoes the spirit of the track. At the heart of the RS 125 Replica GP is a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a spirited 15 horsepower at 10,500 RPM. With a compression ratio of 12.5:1 and a well-engineered bore and stroke of 58.0 x 47.0 mm, this compact powerplant doesn’t just offer impressive power; it provides an engaging riding experience. Torque peaks at 10.90 Nm at 8,250 RPM, ensuring smooth acceleration and responsive handling in urban settings and on twisty roads. Coupled with a slick 6-speed gearbox and liquid cooling, this bike is built for both performance and reliability, allowing riders to push their limits with confidence. The RS 125 is packed with features that enhance both aesthetics and functionality. Its aluminum perimeter frame contributes to a lightweight build of just 120 kg (264.6 pounds), giving it an agile feel that’s perfect for navigating tight corners. The upside-down hydraulic front fork and the adjustable rear monoshock suspension work in harmony to deliver a balanced ride, absorbing bumps while providing excellent feedback. Additionally, the premium braking components, including a radial 4-piston caliper and a 300 mm stainless steel disc at the front, ensure stopping power that matches the bike's sporty capabilities. With an electric starter and an array of striking color options—black, silver, red, and green—this bike is as much a statement of style as it is a performance machine. **
