presentation of the 1000 RSV4 RF 2015
With this RSV4-RF, the aura of Superbike takes hold of you. Bye bye RSV4 Factory. Once the top-of-the-range version of Aprilia's hyperpsort, the Factory is no longer relevant now that the RSV4-RR has stolen all its technology. The only things missing are the Swedish suspension and lightened rims... available as part of the "Race Pack".
but don't let that stop you from fantasizing. And Aprilia is not shying away from offering us a little more fantasy with this RF special series. 500 units to transcend fans' expectations, and take them a little closer to Superbike with its "Superpole" color scheme and equipment. In fact, the RF stands out for being equipped with an Öhlins fork, rear shock absorber and steering damper, as well as forged aluminum wheels. With this look, you'd think it had escaped from the paddock. And in fact, it's almost the truth. To get to the bottom of it, let's go back to the 1000 RSV4 RR specification sheet and summarize the essentials. A millstone whose V4 has been seriously overhauled to produce 201 horsepower, an even sharper chassis with a longer swingarm, adjustable engine positioning in the frame, optimized and fine-tuned electronics, sporty ABS, APRC (traction control, anti-wheeling), and an even sharper chassis with a longer swingarm.(traction control, anti-wheeling, start assist, shifter) and several riding modes, telemetry that can be consulted and configured via smartphone, and a design that's as attractive as ever, with a subtle facelift - without a doubt one of the most accomplished hyper-sports on the market.
