Aprilia RSV4 RF - 2018 Specifications and Reviews
About the Aprilia RSV4 RF
Powered by a Euro 4 compliant liquid cooled 999.6cc V4 engine, producing 201bhp.
Compared to the 2015-2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF this bike is 650 grams lighter and includes APRC electronics package with cornering ABS, new Ohlins suspension, new Brembo brakes, a downshifter and 10mm larger front discs.
The APRC includes 8 level traction control, 3 level wheelie control and 3 level launch control as before but you now also get a speed limiter. All can be adjusted to your preference, even while the throttle is open, or turned off individually. The cornering ABS system also has 3 levels of intervention and an off mode.
The maximum adjustability theme runs throughout the RF with the headstock position/rake, engine height and swingarm pin height all being adjustable.
Accessories include an Akrapovic carbon fibre slip-on end can, Akrapovic complete racing exhaust, carbon fairing/mudguards, mirror plugs and a reg plate cover (for track use only!), racing handlebar and pegs and Aluminium racing levers.
