Overview

Introducing the 2020 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory: A Naked Legend The 2020 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory stands tall in the naked bike category, embodying a perfect blend of Italian flair and cutting-edge engineering. With a heritage steeped in racing, this bike is not just a visually stunning machine; it’s a powerhouse designed for riders who demand performance and precision. The RSV4 1100 Factory showcases Aprilia’s commitment to innovation, making it an enticing choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers looking to experience the thrill of a high-performance motorcycle. Engine Performance: Raw Power Meets Precision Engineering At the heart of the RSV4 1100 Factory lies a formidable 1,078cc V4 engine, producing an exhilarating 217 horsepower at 13,200 RPM and a torque of 122 Nm at 11,000 RPM. This potent powertrain is complemented by a sophisticated Ride-by-Wire system that allows riders to select from three distinct engine maps—Track (T), Sport (S), and Rain (R)—ensuring that the bike responds dynamically to varying riding conditions. Whether you’re carving through tight corners or unleashing the beast on a straightaway, the RSV4 1100’s 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch ensure a seamless and responsive riding experience. The bike's lightweight chassis—tipping the scales at just 177 kg—coupled with a near-perfect power-to-weight ratio of 1.2260 HP/kg, results in agile handling and spirited acceleration that will leave you breathless. Technology and Features: Cutting-Edge Control The Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) system is a standout feature of the RSV4 1100 Factory, offering a suite of advanced technologies such as Traction Control, Wheelie Control, and Launch Control. This comprehensive system provides riders with enhanced grip and stability, allowing them to push the limits with confidence. The fully adjustable Öhlins suspension—both front and rear—ensures that the bike handles beautifully on any terrain, while the Brembo braking system delivers powerful stopping capability, instilling trust in every ride. With an electric starter and a sleek black/silver color scheme, the RSV4 1100 Factory is as much about style as it is about substance. **
