Aprilia RSV4 Factory

Aprilia's engine, in fact, uses a Ride-by-Wire multi-map technology, a solution that opens up new frontiers for engine management, with practically infinite possibilities for further development.

Besides the triple map Ride-by-Wire system, a sophisticated electronic injection system with two injectors and adjustable height ducts are fitted.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory, the bike that brings Aprilia back into the Superbike World Championship, is the product of this immense technical know-how. It is a highly technologically advanced SBK motorcycle, conceived for racing and for this purpose designed and developed by Aprilia together with the marque's Race Division, the largest and most advanced of its kind in Europe and one of the most important in the world.


Aprilia RSV4 Factory is a racing machine that, in line with the Aprilia tradition, follows a completely innovative approach in its design and construction. Its narrow V4 engine uses of state-of-the-art electronics, plus its lightness and extreme compactness are only a few of the features that make it unique in the world.
