While sister company Moto Guzzi released three new models at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan over night and announced a fourth is coming, Aprilia had only minor modifications to its RSV4.
Updates include new ‘Superpole’ graphics, revised rear suspension and the V4-MP multimedia platform as standard.
The V4-MP system is a telemetry system that will communicate with a smartphone, and allows the adjustment of traction control and anti-wheelie systems right down to different settings for each corner or section of a track.
The RSV4 range recently updated the engine with power now 150kW.
Aprilia also announced a 171kW ‘Factory Works’ version of the RSV4, produced in accordance with the world superbike and superstock regulations. It is available to racers and the public.
Factory Works bikes will be given chassis preparation, electronics packages and engine tunes suitable for the race class.
