Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory Delivered In India: Could It Be The Only One In The Country?

The RSV4 1100 RF was first showcased at the 2020 AutoExpo, and was announced that the motorcycle will be available until April 1st as it is only BS4 compliant. With the BS6 deadline approaching less than a month, this the only bike that will be sold and registered in India.

While speaking to the showroom officials, they mentioned the bike is made in limited numbers for customers across the globe. Getting a super-limited motorcycle and a one-off model in India is certainly exciting

The Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory features gorgeous Italian design with the brand's signature three-part headlight set up in the front. The motorcycle also has many carbon-fibre trims across the bike. This includes the tank trim, side fairing, front fenders, and on the exhaust. The motorcycle also features race-spec style winglets that will offer more aerodynamic stability at high speeds.

The motorcycle is equipped with LED lights on the front and the rear paired with LED turn-indicators. There is no space for pillion on the bike as but for the rider, there is a lot of space to move on the bike with wide seats. With the rear cowl forming a pointy end, it gives the motorcycle a sleek and aggressive look.

The Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory features an aluminium dual-beam chassis with pressed and cast sheet. The swingarm is made up of aluminium as well. This and the carbon-fibre bits makes the motorcycle one among the lightest in its segment.

The bike also features ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper-assisted clutch, and Aprilia Quick Shifter System (AQS). The Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory also features a factory-fitter Titanium Akrapovic exhaust system.

The suspension duties on the motorcycle are handled by a fully-adjustable Öhlins NIX 43 mm fork at the front, and Öhlins TTX mono-shock with piggy-back at the rear. The suspensions are electronically adjustable at both ends. The Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory also features Öhlins steering damper to further improve the ride as well.

The motorcycle is capable of achieving a top speed of over 300kmp/h and needs some serious stopping power. Aprilia has got you covered there as well with, dual 330mm diameter floating stainless steel disc with Brembo Stylema monobloc radial callipers at the front, and 220 mm diameter disc with Brembo calliper at the rear. The RSV4 1100 Factory features forged 17-inch rims at both ends shod with Pirelli DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP semi-slick tyres.

The motorcycle also features Bosch 9.1 MP ABS with cornering function, adjustable to three maps equipped with RLM (Rear wheel Lift-up Mitigation).
