This year will see the official launch of Aprilia’s long-awaited RSV4 with optimised Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC). With a list of improvements and changes, bikers can look forward to more than just the usual tweaks and upgrades – this year Aprilia goes all out for maximum speed and performance.
The RSV4 is already known for being one of the sharpest and fastest superbikes on the road, so it’s hard to believe that there’s even more to come this year. And yet, the list of improvements is quite impressive starting with a revised engine management system and a tweaked, optimised Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) package with eight-level traction control, launch control, quick shift system and wheelie control.
Other changes on the 2012 RSV4 Factory APRC include improved lubrication for its 65 degree V4 engine, closer spaced gears for better acceleration, and a new, lighter exhaust system featuring an advanced butterfly valve management system for improved air intake and efficiency.
And just to add a little bit more to the mix, Aprilia’s included fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, high performance Brembo brakes with radial monoblock callipers and a hybrid instrument panel, an integral part of the RSV4 Factory APRC’s self-diagnosis system.
