APRILIA RS 660. INTRODUCING A NEW ERA FOR APRILIA: THE 660 TECHNICAL BASE GIVES WAY TO A NEW GENERATION OF BIKES. APRILIA RS 660 MAKES ITS DÉBUT, THE NEW SPORTS CONCEPT CREATED USING RACING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENJOYMENT ON THE ROAD. AN EXCEPTIONAL CHASSIS, REDUCED WEIGHT, THE NEW 100 HP TWIN, ELECTRONICS DERIVED FROM THE UNBEATABLE V4, PREMIUM TECHNICAL CONTENT. RS 660 REPRESENTS THE ESSENCE OF THE APRILIA BRAND: THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF INNOVATION AND DESIGN.

THE LAUNCH DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE: WORLD PREVIEW WITH THE MOTOGP APRILIA RACING RIDERS, ALEIX ESPARGARO’AND ANDREA IANNONE.

Created around a totally new technical base, defined by the 660 parallel twin, comes a new generation of lightweight, high-performance bikes that are sophisticated in design. A return to the mid-sized engine, supported by the electronics and technology of the Aprilia Racing department, to rediscover the pleasure and joy of everyday riding. The first born in this brand-new generation of Aprilia bikes is RS 660. Premium technical content and advanced but unvarnished performance to rediscover the pleasure of dynamic riding on the road. A sportbike to suit all motorcyclists and that requires no particular experience level or ability.

The innovative concept behind the RS 660 project can be summed up by its excellent weight/power ratio that makes for enjoyable riding, whether relaxed or more sports-orientated: 169 kg plus 100 HP is the perfect formula for enjoyment on the road. It is also a unique project from a technical standpoint, featuring a new frame and swingarm in lightweight aluminium, and a new high-performance parallel twin engine accessible to everyone. Inherited from the unbeatable RSV4, the electronic equipment is top class and comprises a Ride-by-Wire throttle and a six-axis inertial platform for optimum operation of the APRC electronic aids.

It offers five Riding Modes designed to regulate the behaviour of the electronic controls for safety and fun during daily riding, dynamic riding on the road, and extreme riding on track. RS 660 also stands out for its particularly advanced aerodynamics comprising a double fairing with aerodynamic appendage function to optimize stability at high speeds, effectively protecting both rider and passenger from the air pressure.

APRILIA TUONO 660 CONCEPT. JUST AS THE RSV4 GAVE BIRTH TO THE EXTRAORDINARY AND UNBEATABLE TUONO V4, RS 660, THE MEDIUM POWERED BIKE THAT PROMISES TO REVOLUTIONISE THE IMAGE OF SPORTSMANSHIP, GIVES RISE TO THE IDEA OF TUONO 660. EXCELLENT POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO, PREMIUM TECHNICAL FEATURES, TOP-OF-THE-LINE ELECTRONICS AND 95 HP TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: A UNIQUE PROPOSITION BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF ACCESSIBLE RECREATION, DEDICATED TO THE NEW GENERATION OF MOTORCYCLISTS.

The Tuono 660 Concept best expresses the new concept of sports versatility introduced by Aprilia with the new family of motorcycles designed around the new 660 cc twin-cylinder that, with the Tuono 660 Concept, is able to deliver 95 HP. One single motorcycle for ultimate fun, from the everyday to sports riding. First-class performance accessible to all, a sophisticated chassis and premium content, for a new take on sports riding. In keeping with Aprilia tradition, the naked version is born from the RS 660. It features the same technical content and incomparable stand-out chassis, but with heightened road riding connotations, with a raised riding position on the large and wide handlebar. A one of a kind project: a beautiful and lightweight mid-sized twin, with extremely advanced technological content for superlative performance and total enjoyment, with everything focused on an excellent power-to-weight ratio.

The Tuono 660 Concept is ideal for new riders, as it is also available in a 34 kW version, but also for young motorcyclists moving up from smaller engine capacities and who seek a high-level naked sports bike, able to offer daily thrills and fun on the road and even support the rider during occasional track sessions. All in line with the Tuono tradition.

THE "MYSTERY" OF THE 19" TESSELLATED WHEEL GLIMPSED IN A TROPICAL JUNGLE ANGLE: WILL IT BE THE THIRD 660 PROJECT?

APRILIA RSV4 1100 FACTORY. THANKS TO NEW AND HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSION, THE FASTEST, MOST POWERFUL AND LIGHTWEIGHT RSV4 OF ALL TIME BECOMES EVEN MORE EFFICIENT ON TRACK AND ENJOYABLE ON THE ROAD.

THE RR VERSION, EQUIPPED WITH A 201 HP 1000 CC V4 ENGINE, IS AVAILABLE WITH TWO ATTRACTIVE GRAPHIC DESIGNS. OPTIONAL ADVANCED TRACK KIT.

Thanks to new and highly sophisticated semi-active suspension, the fastest, most powerful and lightweight RSV4 of all time becomes even more efficient on track and enjoyable on the road. The control unit that governs the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension has access to all the bike's electronic systems, meaning it is able to recognize all riding phases and therefore adapt calibration of the fork, shock absorber and steering damper hydraulics thanks to the development of an algorithm, the fruit of collaboration between Öhlins and Aprilia.

Aprilia RSV4 is conceived around a 65° V4 engine with incredible maximum power of 217 HP, never before seen on a factory sports bike, and a fully adjustable chassis which is the heir to a dynasty that has won 18 titles and 143 Grand Prix races in the 250 GP class, enhanced by the latest applied electronics systems to manage the engine and the bike's dynamic performance. This is a true vocation for Aprilia, the first manufacturer to adopt the Ride-By-Wire multimap accelerator as standard, but above all the first to patent the APRC dynamic control platform. Attention is also paid to the aerodynamics, thanks to carbon appendages on the fairing that derive from those used by Aprilia Racing on the RS-GP prototype.

APRILIA TUONO V4 1100 FACTORY. APRILIA TUONO V4 1100 RR AND FACTORY. the factory version adopts the most advanced electronic suspension system available on the market: greater performance and precision both on the track and on the road, as well as significantly increased comfort. the Tuono v4 range represents state-of-the-art technology: the sophisticated electronic management system includes the APRC advanced dynamic controls package, 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. THE TUONO V4 1100 FACTORY MY20 GAINS NEW AND ATTRACTIVE GRAPHICS AND STANDARD CARBON COMPONENTS.

Tuono V4 1100 Factory is the most exclusive version in the Tuono range, dedicated to an extremely demanding public and equipped with components that largely derive from the Aprilia RSV4 superbike. The front mudguard, engine cover and side panels of the Factory are now in carbon fibre, a prestigious material that, as well as being lightweight and resistant, is able to boost the level of construction quality, now at a peak. The Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory offers, as standard, the most advanced and efficient electronic suspension system currently available, the latest technological frontier proposed by manufacturer Öhlins and developed in close collaboration with Aprilia engineers.

The particular technology of the Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension system allows for simple and even customised calibration of the fork and shock absorber with two operating modes on the units: semi-active mode and manual mode, both of which can be selected using the buttons on the handlebar. The wide range of electronic equipment includes Cornering ABS as well as the advanced package of APRC electronic controls. The wonderful Aprilia V4 engine delivers maximum power of 175 HP and maximum torque of 121 Nm, values at the top of the category: a real generator of excitement, on both road and track.
