Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory Updates

Wednesday, 06 September 2023 07:40 AM

Late last year, Aprilia updated its flagship superbike, the RSV4, after nearly a decade. Dubbed the RSV4 1100 Factory, the supersport received a slightly larger, more powerful engine, changes to the suspension and frame, and more. The RSV4 1100 Factory is on display at Auto Expo 2020, and Aprilia has also told us that while it didn’t make a public announcement, the bike has been on sale to customers in India for a price of Rs 22.4 lakh (ex-showroom, India). 

Saturday, 09 November 2024 10:16 AM The 2025 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory has been unveiled with significant updates, including a new aerodynamic design featuring MotoGP-derived winglets that reduce the drag coefficient by 6% and decrease the wheelie tendency by 8%. This design change enhances both high-speed stability and cornering precision. The bike also boasts a 1,099cc V4 engine producing 220 horsepower, making it the most powerful production superbike. I think these updates will make the RSV4 a formidable competitor in the market.

Wednesday, 06 November 2024 12:31 AM Aprilia has introduced a new five-inch TFT color display for the 2025 RSV4 1100 Factory, complete with updated graphics, a fuel level indicator, and backlit handlebar controls. This enhancement improves the riders interface and usability. Additionally, the bike features fully adjustable rider assistance systems, including traction control, wheelie control, and engine maps, all customizable via in-app purchases. I believe these technological advancements will greatly enhance the riding experience.

Tuesday, 05 November 2024 01:20 PM The 2025 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory comes with upgraded braking performance, featuring Brembo Hypure radial-mount four-piston calipers, replacing the previous Brembo Stylema calipers. This change is expected to provide better stopping power and control. The Factory version also retains the Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, although rivals have moved to the EC 3.0 system. I think the braking upgrade will be a significant improvement for riders.

Tuesday, 05 November 2024 11:44 AM Aprilia has announced that the 2025 RSV4 1100 Factory will have new 52 mm throttle bodies and an updated exhaust system, which includes a relocated catalytic converter to minimize heat directed towards the rider. This setup allows for easier fitment of aftermarket exhaust mufflers for racing. The engine now produces 220 horsepower at 13,100 rpm, complying with Euro 5+ standards. I believe these changes will make the bike more appealing to both track and street riders.

Tuesday, 05 November 2024 12:11 PM The 2025 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory features a redesigned tail and rear light cluster that can be easily removed for track use, along with new color schemes such as Dark Kraken and Poison Yellow. The bike also includes advanced electronics like launch control, slide control, and a race dashboard, all part of the Factory models package. I think the aesthetic and functional updates will attract a lot of attention from enthusiasts.
