WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TECHNOLOGY. With an ultra-modern two-stroke engine, racing
frame and suspension, advanced brakes and racetrack wheels, the RS 50 offers you unrivalled
performance, control and safety. Its ergonomic controls, fuel tank and seat are designed to
fit your body; its fairing offers all-round wind protection; its footrests provide the ultimate in
support. Only Aprilia can give you so much, plus the prestige of a legendary name.
RACING FRAME
The RS 50’s aluminium double beam
frame features an extruded profile and
internal reinforcement to deliver unrivalled
control in bends and amazingly agile
direction changes.
RACING SUSPENSION
The swingarm is a double
member, extruded aluminium
unit with reinforcement truss
and a hydraulic monoshock.
ON BOARD COMPUTER
The performance of the RS 50 is kept
constantly under control just like that of
a racing machine. The instrumentation
includes a rev counter, odometer, trip
counter, a racing chronometer with a 20
lap memory, and a service indicator.
THE MOTORCYCLE OF TOMORROW’S CHAMPIONS. If you’ve always dreamed of
lining up on a GP starting grid, and leading the field on a true supersport, then the RS
50 is the bike for you. Its technical solutions come directly from the pits of the MotoGP
World Championship. In fact, everything about the RS 50 is derived from the Aprilia’s
2008 World Champion 125 and 250 GP bikes. Its sleek, aggressive and irresistible looks,
for example, are designed for maximum aerodynamic penetration. So stand out from the
crowd on the RS 50: the bike of tomorrow’s champions.
RADIAL CALIPER
The RS 50’s radial front brake is powerful
and smooth to guarantee maximum active
safety.
RACING EXHAUST
The under-seat exhaust ensures perfect
balance and makes a major contribution
to the bike’s exceptional, aerodynamic
form. The system is manufactured using
racing technology to ensure maximum
power output.
LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS
The ‘Y’ spoke wheels feature the same
design as those fitted to Aprilia’s GP
bikes. Lightweight and balanced for
stability in bends, these wheels are
specially designed for use with the latest
generation of radial tyres.
