Overview

Introducing the 2020 Aprilia RS 660, a stunning prototype-concept model that embodies the spirit of performance and cutting-edge design. Positioned as a bridge between the world of sportbikes and the everyday rider, the RS 660 is a game-changer in the middleweight category. With its aggressive styling and lightweight aluminum frame, this motorcycle captures attention and promises an exhilarating riding experience that appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. At the heart of the RS 660 is a potent 660cc V2 four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive 100 horsepower.

Advanced technologies such as traction control, cornering ABS, and wheelie control provide an extra layer of confidence, allowing riders to push the limits without compromising safety. The combination of a telescopic front fork, aluminum alloy swingarm, and Brembo brakes further solidifies the RS 660's reputation for outstanding handling and stopping power, ensuring that you can carve through corners with precision and ease. **
