Aprilia RSV4 Factory ABS
Two world Superbike titles, twenty victories, forty-seven podiums. Aprilia RSV4 is a legend among supersport bikes. Its exclusive 1,000cc narrow V4 engine which makes it unique anywhere in the world, the impeccable chassis and the most advanced electronic controls system available on the market have led it to dominate both on the track and in comparative tests conducted by the most qualified international specialised press.
Many have tried to knock it from the top step of the podium and today the task has become even more difficult: the new RSV4 Factory ABS is the most powerful, safest, most technologically advanced and aggressive RSV4 ever made.
Equipped with the new and highly advanced multimap sport ABS system (which can be disengaged), Aprilia RSV4 Factory ABS also boasts an increase in power that takes the by now renowned narrow 1 litre V4 engine to the point of expressing 184 HP of power (135.3 Nm) and a torque of 117 Nm at 10,500 RPM.
The APRC system, the electronics control package developed directly by Aprilia Racing (the most victorious European racing division with 49 world titles) has also been further advanced. A new and higher capacity fuel tank and new ergonomics complete the drastic advancements aimed at strengthening the domination of the Aprilia RSV4.
A technical superiority which is best summed up on the racetrack. With just one round left in the exciting 2012 SBK season, which has seen the biggest sport motorcycle brands go head to head, the Aprilia RSV4 and its rider Max Biaggi lead the championship standings.
Max Biaggi will be at the French circuit at Magny-Cours this weekend at the top of the Rider standings with a 30.5 point advantage over Tom Sykes (Kawasaki), 38.5 points ahead of Marco Melandri (BMW) and an incredible 68.5 over Carlos Checa (Ducati).
