2010 Aprilia RX 125 Front

2010 Aprilia RSV4 White

Aprilia RSV4, the street version of the bike which has taken Max Biaggi and Team Aprilia Alitalia to the top of the World Superbike Championship, was voted “Bike of the Year 2010″ by the readers of the monthly magazine “Motociclismo”.

At the conclusion of a widespread survey which involved more than 33,000 readers of the magazine – the most authoritative and historical specialised Italian periodical, founded in 1914 – Aprilia RSV4 R was awarded both the recognition of “Sport Bike of the Year”, beating out its rivals, the BMW S 1000 RR and the Ducati 1198 S, as well as, and above all, the title of “Bike of the Year 2010″ which elects it as the absolute monarch of the “Motociclismo” readers’ preferences.

The awards ceremony which took place yesterday evening at the Edisport headquarters held many other satisfactions in store for Aprilia and the Piaggio Group with further category victories and various placings for the Group’s motorcycles and scooters.

In fact, Aprilia won the title of “Bike of the Year” in the 50cc category (with Aprilia RS, which has always been a winner in this category), 125cc (with the larger engine version of the Aprilia RS, in this case also a consistent winner in its class), and Enduro with the Aprilia RXV 4.5/5.5. Second place went to the Aprilia Dorsoduro Factory 750cc in the Supermotard category.

To the Vespa GTS 300 once again this year went the absolute victory for mid-size scooters, while for the over 300cc scooters another two of the Group’s vehicles, the Gilera GP800 and the Piaggio Mp3 400 placed 2nd and 3rd. Also, in the “little 50′s” group the reader’s voted the Vespa 50 S as their second favourite.

Two awards also went to the Moto Guzzi brand yesterday evening: in fact, the “Motociclismo” readers gave the Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 8V 2nd place in the Grand Tourer bike category and third place in the Cruiser category to the California 1100 Vintage.

Aprilia RSV4 is the result of a technologically state-of-the-art project developed entirely by Aprilia. With 36 championship titles win in World Bikes – thanks to an impressive record of 275 victories in the G.P. speed championship – to which another 7 world titles in off road are added, Aprilia is without question the top winner among Italian and European manufacturers today in world championships.

The extraordinary V4 1,000cc engine and the “racing” style of the Aprilia RSV4 have immediately become the new reference point for the sector. The RSV4 already astonished the competitive world at the beginning of the season, earning 9 podiums in 2009 and its first victory on the track at Brno with Max Biaggi. But above all it places itself as a key player in the 2010 championship in which the Team Aprilia-Alitalia RSV4 has already achieved two spectacular double wins, ridden to victory by Biaggi in both races of the Portugal Gran Prix on the Portimao track and the Italy Gran Prix on the legendary Monza Autodrome where Max Biaggi broke – for the first time in the world of Superbike – the “barrier” of 330 kilometres per hour.

2010 Aprilia RSV4R

A revolutionary project and the unique history of racetrack wins have come together to create the RSV4. A truly SupersPort with exclusive racing technology, developed around the V 4-cylinder engine developed from a narrow technical knowledge which led to his Aprilia to victory at racetracks around the world. Aprilia RSV4 horse racing hits and a walk with only one purpose: to win.

33 championships, 254 MotoGP World Championship wins and 8 Superbike victories: over the last two decades Aprilia motorcycles have become modern legends. Noale dominate track bike from around the world thanks to the friendly design, exceptional courage and ability of the technicians who pursue innovative solutions through the experiment, innovation and sometimes seems to revolutionize the technical scheme has not changed. Factory Aprilia RSV4, the bike is brought back to Aprilia 2009 Superbike World Championship, is a great product is very technical know-how. This is a very technologically advanced motorcycles, conceived for racing and for this purpose was designed and developed by Aprilia together with the marque’s Race Division, the largest and most advanced of its kind in Europe and one of the most important in the world.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory is a racing machine, in keeping with Aprilia traditions, actually follow an innovative approach in the design and construction. Its narrow V engine, the use of state-the-art electronics, plus extreme lightweight and compactness of only a few features that make it unique in the world. Aprilia RSV4 Factory is designed and built with the same philosophy with the division race Aprilia. This is why the RSV4 Factory is the most ‘complete’ Superbike racing replica, ready for those who want to venture into the track with a leading motorcycle.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory engine is the most innovative and powerful ever built. This is a super compact 999.6 cc 65 ° V-four cylinder engine is designed for maximum power (180 CV), in which the powerplant engineering come together with the best materials and most advanced solutions to electronic controls. Aprilia’s engine, in fact, using Multimap technology Ride Wire, a solution that opens new limits for engine management, with practically unlimited possibilities for further development.
In addition to the triple map Ride by Wire system, a sophisticated electronic injection system with two injectors and high channel adjusted installed.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory is absolutely SupersPort motorcycles, bicycles most complete available in the market for bicycle enthusiasts, and the chassis that confirms this: designed for the racetrack, he has a unique adjustment feature motorcycle racing. Set chassis geometry allows parameters such as the position and inclination headstock, pin height suspension and even machines that will be changed. Construction technology is also derived motor sports: Factory chassis and suspension RSV4 molds made of aluminum with variable section and pressing.
A component is a state-of-the-art technology in a motorcycle: Öhlins Racing fork, rear monoshock and steering damper meters, Brembo monobloc calipers, forged aluminum rims.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory is a new benchmark in the Superbike road sector law. Unique characteristics of the bike is listed as follows:
- Compact, innovative design
- New – and unique – 65 ° V-four cylinder engine
- Multi-adjustable aluminum alloy frame perimetral
- Adjustable relative position within the frame of the machine
- Asymmetric aluminum suspension
- Fully adjustable Ohlins racing fork and monoshock rear.

DESIGN. Searching for compactness end
Creating a bicycle, the most compact SupersPort innovative and beautiful at the market: a tough challenge and interesting to Aprilia’s style department! This is how the RSV4 Factory is created, the motorcycle that determines the new performance standards and horseback while opening new horizons in the design of ultra-sport motorcycles. Just a few simple styling elements and a special highlight rather than hide certain technical features of the Aprilia RSV4 Factory. Its frame and engine stood as an essential element of the design of the motorcycle.

In line with Aprilia traditions, RSV4 Factory design focuses not only on appearance but serving the technology and performance. Every detail has been prepared not only to be unique and beautiful, but also and above all to be efficient.

Needs food intake system is optimized dynamically assigned V4 front strong-charactered, with extra large air intakes that are not only developed a large overpressure in the airbox (around 35 MB @ 280 km / h), but also completely separates the light from the bottom of the fairing . This causes the style is truly unique, never seen before in a motorcycle sports. RSV4 Factory display genuine, technology, and definitely more aggressive. The triple headlamp Aprilia maxi sportsbike quoting the original, that RSV that set new standards for the twin sport in 1998.

Smaller, lower and narrower than the 4 cylinder motors before, compact extreme RSV4 Factory is a strength, along with almost obsessive pursuit of the perfect ergonomics (very important for the control of the perfect horse riding), which always distinguished Aprilia road and dominated the World Championships motorcycles.
In-depth research, aerodynamic surface is minimized without sacrificing motor Class-leading aerodynamics. The fairing, tail spectacular ultra-compact is one of the most prominent features of this motor. The stunning LED taillights join the tail, offering excellent luminosity. Even the back of the RSV4 Factory is perfectly clear.

ENGINE. An exclusive 65 ° V4
Pursue maximum performance motorcycle engine in SupersPort must be accompanied by a perfect engine is positioned in the frame. Mass centralization, the length of suspension and optimum weight distribution is material to achieve the most competitive bike, along with the pursuit of maximum power and perfect power delivery.

Aprilia engineers have long known that a narrow V layout engine is an ideal technical solution for obtaining a class-beating chassis architecture that emphasizes performance of the machine. It is no coincidence that the RSV 1000 twins, was launched in 1998, is still universally recognized as a sport bike with the best chassis ever. Even some of the winners of the RSA 250 GP bike (5 wins world championship final in three seasons), produced by the division race with engine Aprilia V. Aprilia able to draw from the extensive expertise acquired in the year unchallenged supremacy in the Motorcycle World Championship, then, when the time comes to determine the new Superbike, after evaluating all possible solutions, a narrow V engine selected. A 65 ° V-four cylinder engine, the only solution that can ensure unparalleled performance, outstanding chassis enabling architecture that has defined all Aprilia motorcycles racing over the last twenty years.
In addition to exclusive configuration that makes 65 ° V4 unique in the world, Aprilia’s technical advantages of four-cylinder engine can be summarized as follows:
- Perfectly integrated into the frame, with optimum mass centralization and the inertia is minimized for agility benchmark.
- Absolute slenderness, the overall width is proportional to the twin-cylinder motorcycle, with a big advantage in terms of ergonomics and aerodynamics.
- The compactness of the layout cylinder engine makes a very oversquare possible, use a large hole and then a larger valves, helps the engine breathe more freely and achieve a higher engine speed (14,000 rpm can be used).

Engine developed entirely by Aprilia Research and Development Division, which aims to offer a record of performance and reliability and ridability in accordance with strict quality standards.
Aprilia’s V4 design exploited the calculation of the most powerful programs currently available in the market, so that in the layout engine that performs optimally. With a bit of open angle V (against the machine V 60 °), the designers can use a larger space to optimize the inlet channel and maximize engine efficiency. RSV4 machine has a fluid dynamics class-leading attributes that have a narrow V engine can match.

System of a unique time to make the head is very compact as possible (measuring only 250 mm high at the back), especially in areas under SPAR frame, which is so much narrower than would be possible. Lateral timing chain drives the intake camshaft only and follows the path optimized to improve the timeliness and chain durability.

A pair of teeth in the middle of the cylinder bank transmits drive to the exhaust camshaft. This solution allows to obtain a very compact head in the exhaust. V4 is even more compact than the twin V60 Magnesium is mounted on the RSV 1000 R.
A vibration damping countershaft more than in 90 ° V engine. monobloc crankcase is the configuration with integrated cylinder liners for maximum rigidity and consistent performance.

Future Electronics
Aprilia RSV4 Factory engine’s full-featured Ride by Wire technology. There is no direct relationship between throttle grip and throttle valve, which is really controlled by a new generation Marelli control unit.
Every bank has a special unit moved the throttle servo only two relevant bodies. Therefore, the two banks, and then the amount of fuel injection, can be managed independently. Temporary solutions have been tried and tested by Aprilia, had never previously applied in such a powerful engine, thus opening practically infinite possibilities for setting transmission power. This technology benefits motorists soon, thanks to triple mapping that can be directly controlled from the handlebar, the machine can change the delivery mode and thus the motor all the time temperament.

Fuel supply to use two injectors per cylinder: single injector is placed downstream of the throttle valve and the “bath” injector placed in the airbox and began working at high load and revs. Technological advantage V4 engine is equipped with electronically controlled variable intake tract length. At low revs and load, torque favors long lines and smooth power delivery. When top-level performance is required, the top of the intake canal to improve endurance time to leave the engine duct and free to express their full power potential. A butterfly valve in the exhaust further optimizes power delivery.

The transmission was also designed in accordance with the criteria of the most advanced. To underscore the soul racing V4 engine, a used cassette gearbox with wet multiplate clutch discs are equipped with flip-machine system to optimize the mechanical braking torque and to ensure stability under hard braking.
Finally, to minimize weight, the new Aprilia engine that utilizes a large ultralight materials; valve cover and all the external housing made of magnesium.

CHASSIS. Aprilia’s entire racing know-how
A unique, such as Aprilia V4 engine could do nothing but combined with exceptional chassis that emphasizes the uniqueness of this bike. Year of race and the victory at the top level to melt into racing Aprilia chassis is carried out by research and development department, with the construction and customization solution that only a prototype racing can boast.
RSV4 Factory reap the rewards all Aprilia’s racing experience.

Perfect centralized mass is mandatory when a frame RSV4 Factory is being developed. All designed to achieve the best results, start from a position of the tank (it is important to increase) with most of the fuel under the saddle in order to optimize the balance of bike riding and eliminate the difference between a full tank and empty.
There is no doubt: Aprilia RSV4 Factory is a track-ready bike right, and a front / rear weight distribution of 52/48 confirmed this.

Frame
In line with Aprilia traditions of racial division, the structure of castings and pressings RSV4 using a welded aluminum frame to create a far more rigid than twin RSV 1000, which was a benchmark. In particular, torsional and flexural stiffness are optimized to provide perfect sense and control and the ability to handle high power output such as Superbike version.

Suspension
The Öhlins Racing fork has a 43-mm inverted cage and titanium nitride coated to minimize friction. Wheel travel is 120 mm. As in the motorcycle race, enabling precision adjustments to the fork compression and rebound damping and hydraulic spring preload.
The Öhlins Racing rear shock absorber is equipped with a can of “Piggy Back” nitrogen and can be adjusted with spring preload, compression and rebound damping and length, allowing the height of the rear of the bike that will be changed to adjust the set-up with a different riding style and track . Wheel travel is 130 mm.
This bike also comes with steering damper Öhlins racing adjusted.

Brake
Front of the system without the slightest doubt the best system available on the market. Brembo monobloc radial calipers are state-of-the-art in racing brake systems thanks to their power, high modulability and resilience.
Dual disc diameter of 320 mm stainless steel floating completely new and has been developed by Aprilia specially for this bike. A rotor with reduced height and asymmetrical perforation is used, so that increased braking power and front wheel to be lightened by about 500 grams. The followers of floating is the key to the flange with a 6 pin only to minimize inertia and weight.
Radial brake pump is a type of lever to improve the feel and accuracy of response. rear braking system is Brembo “Serie Oro” with a disc diameter of 220 mm stainless steel and two-piston caliper, with a racing-type pump and tank integrated.

Rims
Search for lighting a greater cause implementation of the new forged aluminum rims. Original design further weight loss (about 1 kg less than 1000 twin RSV) which, together with new brake discs, minimize unsprung mass and rotating inertia mass, favorable response motorcycles.

Component
A Superbike is really special not only as far as performance is concerned but also for the treatment of it was built with. Regarding the RSV4 Factory, said the details of everything: there are races other “ready” motorcycle ever built with such care. Attention is paid to the construction not only meets the desire for beauty (motorcycle built like RSV4 Factory in beautiful cases), but almost all aim to achieve the goal: to win. This is why every detail thought to improve the performance and functionality, reduce weight and greatly improve product quality and finish.
