Two values ​​say more than 1000 words: 137 kilograms with a full tank and 70 hp peak power. These key data are enough to give the euphoria about the successful optics the technical addition: the Aprilia SXV 550 ?? for Supermoto fans who love the extreme and the unusual. After all, the men from Noale, Italy, have declared the unconventional as a concept. The composite frame made of tubular mesh and cast aluminum parts as well as the 77-degree V2 engine with gasoline injection and Unicam valve control stand out spectacularly from anything that has ever been seen in the Supermoto area.
The data won’t get out of your head: 137 kilos and 70 hp! Plus this ultra-slim design. A clear case for the country road. First the pressure on the electric starter. The SXV keeps dying. The small button on the throttle, which raises the idle for a cold start, only partially does its job. Only when the right hand turns the throttle a tick further does the two-cylinder chug away. Even later, when it is hot, the V2 usually does not come straight away. Still, departure. The two-cylinder pushes hard, pushes at 3000 rpm and only lets go when the rev limiter intervenes at 11500 rpm.
The little engine hangs lively on the accelerator and is very easy to keep in the ideal speed range between 7000 and 9000 revs thanks to the short, tightly stepped five-speed gearbox.

However, the fun slows down the not quite successful mapping of the engine management in the lower speed range. The abrupt onset of the two-cylinder hailed many a targeted line in tight bends. To which the unusually wide 180 mm rear tire also plays its part, which, in contrast to the 160 mm tires common in the supermoto industry, creates a noticeable tendency to pitch up when braking.
