Aprilia has brought a new limited edition RSV4 to the US market. Called
the RSV4 Factory APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) Special
Edition, this special edition was developed using data from this year’s
Superbike Championship and is equipped with a new electronic management
system that includes traction control, wheelie control, launch control
and quick shift.
The new bike is powered by a water cooled, 999cc, 65° V4 engine that
develops 180 HP and 115 Nm of torque. The APRC package uses an
automotive inertial platform with two turn meters and two accelerometers
that enable the ECU to track dynamic conditions and adjust engine
control consequently. The rider can adjust any component of the APRC
system independently at will.
