Aprilia RSV4 Factory ABS
Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2015 Aprilia RSV4 Factory ABS, a motorcycle that perfectly captures the essence of Italian engineering and racing pedigree. Positioned firmly in the sport category, the RSV4 Factory is designed for riders seeking not just a machine, but a performance partner that thrives on the track as much as it does on winding roads. With its sleek lines and aggressive stance, this bike isn't just about looks—it's a testament to Aprilia's commitment to creating high-performance motorcycles that deliver an exhilarating ride. At the heart of the RSV4 Factory is a formidable 999.60 cc V4 engine, producing a staggering 184 horsepower at a thrilling 12,500 RPM. This power is complemented by 117 Nm of torque available at 10,000 RPM, ensuring rapid acceleration and a breathtaking top speed. The advanced Ride-by-Wire engine management system and a sophisticated fuel injection setup with four Weber-Marelli throttle bodies ensure precise power delivery and responsiveness. Riders will appreciate the smooth shifting from the 6-speed gearbox, coupled with a multi-disc oil-bath clutch featuring a mechanical slipper system, which allows for aggressive downshifting without fear of rear wheel lockup. The Aprilia RSV4 Factory is not just about raw power; it’s laden with features designed to enhance handling and rider confidence. The twin-spar adjustable aluminum frame provides rigidity and stability, while the Ohlins Racing suspension—both front and rear—offers adjustable settings for compression, rebound damping, and spring preload. The bike’s braking system features double-disc ABS at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring exceptional stopping power and control. With a lightweight design at just 181 kg, the power-to-weight ratio of 1.0166 HP/kg translates into nimble handling and agility, making it a favorite among track enthusiasts and street riders alike. **
