Overview

Introducing the 2021 Aprilia RS 660 35kW, a stunning entry into the sport motorcycle arena that seamlessly blends Italian artistry with cutting-edge technology. Priced at €11,050, this machine is designed for riders seeking exhilarating performance without compromising on everyday usability. The RS 660 has been crafted with a focus on lightweight agility and user-friendly dynamics, making it a formidable contender for both novice and experienced riders. Whether you’re carving through mountain passes or navigating urban streets, the RS 660 delivers a thrilling experience that elevates your ride to new heights. At the heart of the RS 660 lies a spirited 659cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 46.9 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and a robust torque of 67 Nm at 8,500 RPM. This powerplant is engineered for spirited performance, enabling the bike to reach a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph). The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a multi-plate wet clutch featuring a mechanical slip system, ensures smooth gear transitions and excellent throttle response. Riders will appreciate the remarkable fuel efficiency of 4.90 litres per 100 km (48 mpg), allowing for longer rides and fewer stops at the pump—all while enjoying the rush of a lightweight 169 kg (372.6 lbs) chassis that provides an agile and responsive riding experience. The RS 660 is packed with high-tech features that enhance both performance and safety. At its core is a six-axis inertial platform that informs the APRC package—featuring advanced traction control (ATC), wheelie control (AWC), engine braking (AEB), engine maps (AEM), and cruise control (ACC). With five riding modes, including customizable options, the Aprilia caters to various riding styles and conditions, ensuring you get the most out of your machine. The robust aluminium dual beam chassis, combined with adjustable Kayaba suspension, provides exceptional handling and stability for spirited rides. The stunning color options—Acid Gold, Lava Red, and Apex Black—further accentuate the bike’s aggressive aesthetics, making it a head-turner on any street. **
