Bagi tahun 2020, jentera superbike kebanggaan Noale ini tampil lebih mantap dengan sistem ‘suspension’ separa-aktif.
Model ini masih lagi mengekalkan enjin V4 65 darjah DOHC yang menjana 217hp pada 13,200rpm dan 122Nm pada 11,000rpm di samping menawarkan Ride-by-Wire, dynamic control system APRC termasuk suspension yang dibangunkan bersama Ohlins.
Kedua-dua model ini boleh didapati dengan harga berikut:
Sejak diperkenalkan pada Mac tahun lalu di Litar Mugello, kesemua 10 unit Aprilia RSV4 X terjual dalam tempoh beberapa jam.
Menggunakan RSV4 1100 Factory sebagai asas utama, versi edisi terhad ini menghasilkan 225hp dengan berat hanya 165 kilogram!
Jentera ini juga merupakan mesin dua roda sulung yang mengguna pakai gear neutral bawah gear pertama dan kaliper brek Brembo GP4-MS.
Lahir dengan DNA 54 kejuaraan dunia, RSV4 X dibina dengan satu objektif utama, menawarkan prestasi optimum di litar lumba.
Bagi merancakkan lagi penghasilan mesin agung ini, Aprilia turut memilih Malaysia sebagai destinasi Asia sulung untuk ‘tayangan perdana’ Aprilia RSV4 X.
Menariknya, Max Biaggi sendiri akan serlahkan kemampuan jentera istimewa ini di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang, hujung minggu ini.
“Para penunggang yang dapat merasa jentera ini akan menyedari keupayaan keseluruhan sebuah jentera yang lahir untuk litar lumba.
“Saya tunggang jentera ini secara peribadi dan jentera ini sangat-sangat berkuasa, anda akan rasa segalanya menerusi jentera ini.
“Terima kasih kepada jurutera Aprilia kerana menghasilkan mesin ini,” jelas bekas juara dunia MotoGP, Max Biaggi.
Didi Resources launched the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory today. The price is from RM 159,900 but Didi Resources will include the optional carbon fibre front brake ducts worth RM 4,000 for the first batch of buyers.
While eyes are on another Italian bike, the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory promises to be even faster and focused on outright performance.
But rather than bore you with a long write-up, here are ten things you should know about this bike.
The 2019 RSV4 1100 Factory actually commemorates the 10th year of the Aprilia RSV4. The 2009 bike won a number of accolades including Best Sportbike of the year not only for its power and performance but also the groundbreaking APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) electronic suite.
The RSV1100 Factory is 100cc up from previous models. The 1078cc 65-degree V-Four powerplant sees the increase of 16 hp and 6.8 Nm to 217 hp at 13,200 RPM and 122 Nm of torque at 11,000 RPM. That makes it the most powerful normally-aspirated and also non-homologation special sportbike.
The APRC rider aid package has been expanded to include extra features to rein in those 217 horses. Together, they are Aprilia Traction Control (ATC), Aprilia Wheelie Control (AWC), Aprilia Launch Control (ALC), Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS) and Aprilia Pit Limiter (ALC). These features were brought over from the RSV4 RR.
It is also the lightest among its peers (apart from the race-homologated Panigale V4 R). The RSV4 1100 Factory weighs 5 kg lighter than its predecessor, resulting in a lithe 199 kg, fully fueled and ready to ride.
A Bosch lithium-ion battery and Akrapovic exhaust system contributes to the low weight.
Speaking of the exhaust, the system was specially designed developed together with the famed maker, Akrapovic. The new system is not only responsible for the power increase but also yielding smoother power and torque curves.
The aluminium frame has been redesigned for even more cornering prowess that Aprilias are famous for. New steering bushings steepen the rake angle by 2-degrees. Additionally, there is a 2mm less offset of the triple clamps for less trail. The changes to the steering geometry results in a 4mm shorter wheelbase. Aprilia also stiffened the swingarm. These changes ought to make the bike even more nimble.
The bike is suspended by fully-adjustable Öhlins NIX forks and Öhlins TTX rear shock. The forks have 5mm more travel. They are non-electronic, however.
Hauling the RSV4 1100 Factory down from speed are Brembo’s latest Stylema brake calipers. These are smaller, lighter yet stiffer for a better feel at the lever. (Make sure you secure them!) As we mentioned earlier, owners can fit the optional carbon fibre ducts to channel cooling air to the calipers.
There are two spoilers mounted on each side of the fairing. They generate up 8 kg of downforce at 300 km/h to keep the front tyre on the road.
Aprilia Malaysia (Didi Resources Sdn Bhd) secara rasminya telah melancarkan model ‘sports bike’ terkini mereka iaitu Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory. Pelancaran model ini telah dilakukan bersama para pemilik motosikal Aprilia di The Podium Penchala sempena siaran langsung MotoGP pusingan di Germany. (more…)
How about getting the chance to view the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory and the German MotoGP at the same time?
Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd., the new custodian of the Aprilia brand in Malaysia will unveil the new bike to Aprilia fans and public alike. Events will continue into the evening with the viewing of the German MotoGP round.
The unveiling will commence from 6pm at The Podium, Sungai Penchala, on 7th July 2019.
The Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory is the challenger to the Ducati Panigale V4. it’s now 1078cc V-Four engine produces 214 hp and 122 Nm of torque. A Bosch lithium-ion battery and Akrapovic exhaust cuts weight to only 199 kg, dry.
Apart from that, Brembo’s latest Stylema front brake calipers perform braking duties for the front. They are lighter yet more rigid than the outgoing Brembo M50 Monobloc. Gripping the discs are more aggressive brake pads. Look closely and you will notice air ducts for the front calipers.
Front forks are Öhlins NIX with 125 mm travel (5 mm more) for better cornering. An Öhlins TTX shock suspends the rear end.
The bike’s bodywork also features “aerobodies,” similar to those in MotoGP.
It looks like manufacturers are upping the horsepower game since the introduction of the Ducati’s Panigale V4. The latest on the list is the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory.
The new RSV4 1100 Factory’s engine will produce 214 bhp, upstaging the Panigale V4’s by 1 bhp. That makes the Aprilia the most powerful naturally-aspirated sportbike.
Following in the footsteps of their Italian superbike rival, Aprilia will be producing 2 RSV4 variants of different engine capacities. The RSV4 Factory sees its 65o V-Twin capacity increased to 1078cc. On the other hand, the 1000cc RSV4 RR is the homologation model for superbike racing.
It isn’t just about a power increase, however. Torque has also been increased to 122 Nm. Additionally, Aprilia has lowered the weight of the RSV4 1100 Factory to just 199 kg, fully fueled. The Bosch lithium-ion battery and titanium Akrapovic exhaust system contributes to the weight reduction.
By the numbers, the 2019 RSV4 1100 Factory is 5 kg lighter, produces 16 more horsepower and 6.8 Nm more torque than the previous model.
Another obvious change are the winglets that are evolved from the 2018 Aprilia RSV4 RF LE.
Brembo’s latest Stylema front brake calipers perform braking duties for the front. They are lighter yet more rigid than the outgoing Brembo M50 Monobloc. Gripping the discs are more aggressive brake pads. Look closely and you will notice air ducts for the front calipers.
Front forks are Öhlins NIX with 125 mm travel (5 mm more) for better cornering. An Öhlins TTX shock suspends the rear end.
There are new steering bushings that steepen the rake angle. There is a 2 mm reduction of the steering yoke for less trail.
The steering changes results in a 4 mm shorter wheelbase. The swingarm has also been stiffened.
Last but not least, Aprilia have also upgraded the APRC electronics suite.
