These changes will not only lose weight, and implicitly makes RXV more competitive, but also ensures fatigue-free start for cold mornings. Other additions have much to do with engine performance is a new lateral muffler system, which is the closest thing you get one race. USA model features an under seat twin exhaust outlets.
After repair the machine (to make better performance and lightness that), this chassis is to suffer the same treatment. Lighter rear frame is now offering lower seating position (5 mm lower, exactly), perfect for average size riders. Because the ergonomics have been changed to comfort, the bike also got a new chair.
Also at the rear, the new suspension makes no exception for carrying a body cast and the members of the hydroformed at the scene. Besides reducing weight, this makes the suspension of new, more flexible, keeping the rear wheels on the ground more than in the air and that can only mean better lap times.
Together with a lighter and more compact rear brake caliper, decreasing the overall weight is 2 kg.
The Aprilia RXV 4.5 to 5.5 is a true demonstration of power from the street because there are continuous improvements being made for this bike so that remains indisputable leader of his class. Also, because of the style and ingenious construction methods applied, RXV also a good way to be introduced by the Italian machine, now conquered every single bike category.
