Aprilia is presenting at the Eicma show in Milan only an update of its (top) Superbike model, the RSV4-RF. At the same time, the sports brand of the Piaggio group unveils an ambitious sports program aimed at top pilots…

Is Noale’s Lion a bit lazy? This is what we are tempted to conclude by completing the tour of Aprilia’s stand at the Milan show where the trail, the roadster, the maxiscooter and the supermotard are not moving for next year..

Only the recent RSV4 RF benefits from a small update in 2016, receiving "a new Superpole graphics, a new and more efficient rear suspension (Ohlins still, Editor’s note) and the V4-MP multimedia platform as standard equipment", list the Italians.

"The latter introduces for the first time on a road bike a real telemetry system, comparable to those used in high level competition", they assure. The difference is that the machine parameters are managed directly through the Aprilia smartphone application !

"And it’s not over!", Since the most advanced pilots evolving in national, international speed championships or for their simple pleasure will be able to ride on "factory machines" which, in the most successful configuration, can develop more than 230 horsepower…

"The model exhibited at Eicma 2015 is the Aprilia RSV4 R-FW" Misano ", which represents the entry-level World Superbike model", explains the manufacturer with 54 world titles returned this year in MotoGP, the premium category so expensive to the Italian firm.

"Factory Works" program

An integral part of the history of the Piaggio group’s sports brand, the Grand Prix are particularly costly, in terms of both financial and human resources. This probably explains the low renewal of the Aprilia road range..

Is the "Factory Works" program a good calculation? Will it allow the brand to ensure its competition budget – or even generate profits – while continuing to shine in World Superbike through private teams? Case to follow, on Site of course !
