2017 APRILIA RSV4 RR & RSV4 RF
FIRST TEST
P112
For 2017, Aprilia will again
offer the RSV4 in two configu-
rations, the standard RR ABS
version ($16,699) and a limited
production RF ABS or "Factory"
model ($22,999).
Both varieties are identical
except the RR comes equipped
with cast aluminum wheels,
Sachs suspension and steering
damper, and is offered in Bucine
Gray or Ascari Black paint liver-
ies.
The RF is fitted with lighter
forged aluminum wheels, the
latest generation of lighter Ohlins
NIX30 forks with TiN coating,
Ohlins TTX36 shock with a new
progressive link to increase reac-
tion time, an adjustable Ohlins
steering damper, and is offered
exclusively in its "Superpole"
paint livery.
Both models now meet strict
Euro 4 noise and emission
standards, but without losing
peak horsepower due to an
upgraded ECU with a 300 RPM
higher redline, lighter pistons,
revised Pankl connecting rods,
Miller bossing
the RF at COTA.
The Aprilia will
follow the rider
commands like
a servant.
