Milan, Rho Fiera, 6 November 2018 – The Piaggio Group’s large new stand at the 76th International Bicycle, Motorcycle and Accessories Show (Fiera Milano-Rho exhibition centre, 8-11 November 2018) presented a host of new products to meet the most diverse biker needs, preferences and styles, whether road or off-road. Beginning with the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory, preview tested on the Imola race track by champion Max Biaggi: “I’ve tried the best of the best,” he commented at the press conference. “An extra 100cc and a lower weight: a motorbike you really savour, even at low speeds.”
And continuing with the Aprilia RS 660 concept project unveiled by Romano Albesiano (Head of Road Racing Technology & Sport Management) together with Max Biaggi: “A real innovation,” said the head of Aprilia Racing, “a forerunner of the new family of fantastic mid-range Aprilia bikes: pure Aprilia spirit.” “It’s fantastic, innovative, it’s difficult to create something so appealing,” commented Max.
The parade of Aprilia emotions continued with the Tuono V4 1100 RR and Factory, the Shiver 900 and the tough “little” SX 50 and RX 50.
APRILIA CONCEPT RS 660. CONCEPT RS 660 IS THE FIRST EVOLUTIONARY STEP IN A REVAMPING AIMED AT EXPANDING THE APRILIA RANGE UNDER THE SIGN OF SPORTINESS AND PERFORMANCE FOR FUN.
CUTTING-EDGE AERODYNAMICS RESEARCH, PREMIUM TECHNICAL CONTENT, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS AND A NEW TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: RS 660 REDEFINES APRILIA VALUES FOR A NEW GENERATION OF RIDERS.
APRILIA RSV4 1100 FACTORY AND RSV4 RR. OUT OF AN EXTRAORDINARY PROJECT THAT NEVER STOPS GROWING, INTRODUCING THE FASTEST, MOST POWERFUL AND LIGHTEST RSV4 EVER. NEW 217 HP V4 ENGINE. EVEN MORE ADVANCED CHASSIS ARCHITECTURE AND BRAKES AND REDUCED WEIGHT.
For the first time on a factory superbike, Aprilia introduces aerodynamic winglets on the fairing, thanks to the developments made by Aprilia Racing on the RS-GP prototype from which they are derived. The particular shape designed in the wind tunnel and the inclination at which they are mounted take advantage of the down force of the channelled air to let the winglets increase stability at high speeds, contributing to decreasing the tendency for wheelies coming out of turns and at the same time increasing stability in hard braking.
THE RR VERSION, EQUIPPED WITH A 201 HP 1000 CC V4 ENGINE, IS AVAILABLE IN TWO NEW AND ATTRACTIVE GRAPHIC DESIGNS. OPTIONAL ADVANCED TRACK KIT.
APRILIA TUONO V4 1100 RR AND FACTORY. THE FACTORY VERSION ADOPTS THE MOST ADVANCED ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION SYSTEM AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET: HIGHER PERFORMANCE AND PRECISION BOTH ON THE TRACK AND ON THE ROAD WITH A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN COMFORT AS WELL.
THE TUONO V4 RANGE REPRESENTS THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN TECHNOLOGY: THE SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT INCLUDES THE ADVANCED DYNAMIC CONTROLS PACKAGE WITH APRC, CORNERING ABS, QUICK SHIFT ACTIVE EVEN IN DOWNSHIFTING, PIT LIMITER AND CRUISE CONTROL. THE 175 HP V4 ENGINE AND THE RACING FRAME PROVIDE UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE. ATTRACTIVE NEW GRAPHICS FOR BOTH TUONO V4 1100 RR AND TUONO V4 1100 FACTORY.
APRILIA SHIVER 900. THE MOST RECENT EVOLUTION OF THE SPORT NAKED FROM NOALE IS POWERED BY A REFINED 900 CC TWIN-CYLINDER THAT GUARANTEES TORQUE VALUES AT THE TOP OF THE CATEGORY. PERFORMANCE COMBINED WITH AN ABSOLUTELY TOP SHELF FRAME FOR A RIDEABILITY THAT RAISES THE BAR TO NEW HEIGHTS IN THE NAKED SPORT BIKE SEGMENT.
AN INTUITIVE, POWERFUL, EASY TO HANDLE BIKE AND NOW EVEN MORE TECHNOLOGICAL THANKS TO THE NEW INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE LIMITED 35 KW POWER VERSION FOR RIDERS WITH AN A2 DRIVER'S LICENSE.
APRILIA SX 50 E RX 50. EXTREME LOOK, HIGH PERFORMANCE AND TOP SHELF CHASSIS ARCHITECTURE, APRILIA SX AND RX 50 ARE THE IDEAL BIKES FOR TAKING YOUR FIRST STEPS IN THE OFF-ROAD AND MOTARD WORLD. NEW IN 2019, APRILIA SX 50 IS AVAILABLE IN A “FRIENDLY” VERSION WITH LOW SADDLE AND IN THE NEW AND ATTRACTIVE GREEN ENERGY GRAPHIC.
But don't be fooled by the engine capacity: SX and RX are real bikes, entirely at ease on the home-school commute and on the most competitive track. A motard and a sporty enduro, equipped with latest generation Euro 4 approved engines and with chassis architecture solutions that have nothing to envy of larger engine capacity bikes. The "big sister" Aprilia SX 125 is also exhibited at Eicma.

Moto Guzzi V85 TT is created in keeping with this strong identity, skilfully balancing that classic, evocative style with cutting-edge technical equipment.
