Overview

### Unleashing the Beast: 2012 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC The 2012 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC stands as a pinnacle in the sportbike category, designed for those who seek the ultimate track experience without compromising street usability. With its aggressive styling, cutting-edge technology, and a pedigree that boasts numerous racing accolades, the RSV4 Factory APRC is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement. This machine is engineered for the passionate rider, combining the essence of Italian craftsmanship with advanced performance features that make it a formidable contender on both the racetrack and the open road. At the heart of the RSV4 Factory APRC is a powerful 999.60cc V4 engine that roars to life with an exhilarating 180 HP at 12,500 RPM and a robust torque of 115 Nm at 10,000 RPM. The 13:1 compression ratio and a sophisticated fuel system with four Weber-Marelli 48-mm throttle bodies ensure a seamless and responsive power delivery, making every twist of the throttle an adrenaline-inducing experience. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and features a multi-disc oil-bath clutch with a mechanical slipper system that enhances cornering stability. The lightweight frame, tipping the scales at just 179 kg (394.6 lbs), allows riders to enjoy an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 1.0056 HP/kg, translating to thrilling acceleration and agility on the track. One of the standout features of the RSV4 Factory APRC is the advanced APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) system, which elevates riding precision and safety. This state-of-the-art technology includes an adjustable traction control system with eight settings that can be conveniently toggled from the left handlebar joystick, allowing riders to adapt quickly to varying conditions without losing momentum. Coupled with Ohlins Racing suspension, which offers complete adjustability on both the front and rear, the bike delivers exceptional handling and comfort, whether you’re carving through canyons or hitting the track. The racing black color scheme not only adds to its aggressive aesthetics but also emphasizes its ready-for-action demeanor. ####
