RSV4 FACTORY is an ecological vehicle with Community Homologation Euro 3 in compliance with the limits of atmospheric and acoustic pollution.

TAILORED

 

ACCESSORIES.

FROM THE COMPONENTS FOR RACING TO THE RIDER’S 
CLOTHES, APRILIA HAS DESIGNED AN EXCLUSIVE 
RANGE OF ACCESSORIES FOR RSV4 FACTORY WITH 
MANIACAL CARE TO EACH DETAIL. NEW TARGETS 
ARE REACHED IN PERFORMANCE AND APPEARANCE, 
EXPLOITING THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND 
MATERIALS, GOING TO THE RACETRACK WITH A GREAT 
AND WINNING LOOK: YOU AND YOUR RSV4 FACTORY 
WILL BE EVEN MORE UNIQUE.

Made entirely in titanium with a carbon terminal, the Akrapovic 
exhaust for use on the racetrack weighs less than 5 kg 
and, guaranteeing increased torque and power, improves 
acceleration when coming out of a bend. The thermoformed 
top fairing increases aerodynamic penetration and protection 
against turbulence and high speeds. Made especially for the 
RSV4 Factory, the Öhlins TTX shock absorber is completely 
adjustable with mountings machined from single billets of 
metal. The aluminium footrests, also machined from single 
billets of metal, can be adjusted in 9 different positions and 
allow micrometric calibration of the gear and brake controls.

You can tailor your RSV4 Factory in its appearance and 
improve its performance on the track with a complete range 
of special accessories. Components in carbon fibre to lighten 
and enhance its prestige. Mirror covers, number plate cases, 
half-handlebar and other elements machined from single 
billets of metal. Protection buffers with an original triangular 
shape protect the bodywork, giving it a more aggressive look. 
Customised service stand and RSV 4 breathable bike cover for 
just another touch of class.

Aprilia has even thought about the rider with a range of high 
level rider accessories. The RSV4 full face helmet in composite 
fibre weighs less than 1300 grams and has been developed 
in collaboration with professional riders to offer the very 
best performance. The RSV4 riding suit in cattle hide, with 
dynamic ventilated back protection, has protections in titanium 
and is the result of a study to combine maximum levels of 
ergonomics with safety. Last, but certainly not least, the handy 
tank and tail fairing bags, designed especially for 
RSV4 Factory.

Drive safely always wearing a helmet and protective clothing. Observe the laws of the road and respect the environment. Carefully read the owners’ handbook. Photographs, technical data, specifications
