Aprilia SXV 550

Aprilia RXV Experience in last year’s Enduro World Championship, in which Aprilia Racing did so well, plus valuable input from team ace and four times world champion Stefan Merriman, has guided Aprilia’s designers and engineers in transferring developments first made in the field directly into series production. Everybody involved with the RXV has worked hard and in close co-operation to introduce a number of major improvements compared to last year’s motorcycle, making this year’s model even more “race ready”, and better able to deliver complete satisfaction to demanding amateur and professional riders.
