WHY RSV4?
RSV4 project was born to bring motorsports technology directly to the road and reconfirm the passion and engineering capabilities of Aprilia even in the large engine capacity category.
A bike developed for the track that embodies everything a rider desires to dominate the circuit, but which can be just as much fun to ride on the road. A concentrated engineering package developed around a 65° V4 engine, the layout identified as the best technical choice for a powerful, light, ultra-compact and extremely agile machine. A bike that marked Aprilia’s return to the WSBK championship 10 years after appearing on the scene, capable of winning 7 World Superbike championships and the 2015 FIM Superstock World Cup in the last seven years.
14 MARCH 2009, IN THE SECOND ROUND OF WSBK, THE FIRST 2 PODIUMS WERE EARNED
ON 4 OCTOBER 2015, LORENZO SAVADORI WAS CROWNED WORLD CHAMPION IN SSTK; APRILIA WAS CROWNED WORLD CHAMPIONIN THE SSTK MANUFACTURER CHAMPIONSHIP

VEHICLE – BENCHMARK CHASSIS
ADJUSTABLE ALUMINIUM FRAME AND
RACINGDERIVED SWINGARM An Aprilia hallmark, the RV4’s fully adjustable aluminium frame is a work of art on display that hides the secrets of a benchmark chassis. Pressed and cast sheet elements lend the frame optimised torsional andflexional rigidity for perfect feeling and control and to allow the rider to handle the engine’s incredible power: the reference point in terms of handling, stability at high speeds and pure grit.
The aluminium frame and swingarm reduce weight while providing the necessary stiffness to transfer all the power of the 65° V4 engine to the ground. The frame weighs as little as 10.5 kg, the swingarm only 5.1 kg. The resulting contained moving masses enhance the bike’s responsiveness and sensitivity to adjustments to the suspension settings.

RSV4 RR/RFNEW MULTIMAP CORNERING ABS RSV4 MY17 features a completely revamped ABS system, based on the NEW BOSCH 9.1 MP control unit, characterised by small size and extreme light weight.
It’s a modern two-channel antilock system, that provides the following advantages:- improved stability- improved deceleration without locking the wheels- reduced braking distance in critical situationsThe greatest innovation, compared to the previous MY16 bike, is the introduction of the CORNERING functionality.The system is now able to recognise when the rider is braking hard while leaning into a bend, preventing the wheels from locking also in this critical situation. This allows the rider to keep total control of the bike in any “panic stop” condition.

RSV4 RR/RF2 - NEW MULTIMAP CORNERING ABS The system has been skilfully developed and calibrated based on indications from Apriliaengineers in order to provide not only maximum safety on the road, but also the best performance on the track.
The rider can still select between 3 ABS maps to better suit the system responsiveness to the current riding conditions (1 = track, 2 = road, 3 = wet), always with the goal of maximising braking effectiveness. Now ABS MAP2 has become also suitable for amateur track riding.
The ABS system can also be disabled by the rider, still keeping all the rest of the electronic controls of the bike active. NEW for MY17 is also the ABS deactivation strategy. If disabled by the rider, the system will automatically be reactivated after every key OFF/ON. A better attention to safety.Permanent deactivation of the ABS system will still be possible for RACE USE ONLY (need to install the RACE engine ECU/MAP)

REFINED AWC FUNCTIONALITY
HELPS THE RIDER CONTROL WHEELIES BY LOWERING THEFRONT WHEEL GENTLY TO THE GROUND
Thanks to the new positioning on the bike of the BOSCH inertial platform, the system is now able to accurately detect pitch angle and rate.This allowed Aprilia’s electronic engineers to completely redefine the wheelie control strategy. Compared to the old system, where the target of the strategy was always to gently lower the front wheel to the ground, the new MY17 AWC is also able to keep the bike to hold a certain pitch angle, according to the riding condition. This always ensures the maximum power delivery to the ground, a giant leap in terms of overall performance improvement.
- The revamped AWC hardware easily identifies the START and END of a wheelie
- During a wheelie, AWC prevents the motorcycle from exceeding a predetermined pitch rate/angle
- New AWC strategy now gently lowers the front wheel to the ground or holds a specific pitch angle, according to the current riding conditions

THE APRC SYSTEMHOW IT WORKS
7sm ECU
GAS
Inertia sensorDetermines the dynamic position of the motorcycle
2 throttle bodiesgently reduces torque requested by rider bbodiesy closing throttle
4 spark plugsQuickly reduces torque requested by rider by reducing advance (this occurs only in the event of sudden grip loss)
Front and rear speed sensorsMeasure the speeds of the two wheels. These values are used to calculate SLIP: i.e. how much faster the rear wheel is relative to the front wheel

RSV4 RR/RFATC - APRILIA TRACTION CONTROL
INCREASES CONTROL IN THE EVENT OF SLIDING WHEN EXITING A CURVEControls wheelspin (SLIP) under acceleration (uses the bank angle and other parameters). The patented Aprilia SLIP CONTROL® system modulates driving wheel slip when existing a curve between a maximum and a minimum SLIP threshold in all 8 available settings.ATC WIDE BAND: on the RSV4 the most conservative levels allow use on wet roads without sacrificing the sportiness of the most liberal levels (1 and 2).

THE APRC SYSTEMATC - APRILIA TRACTION CONTROL
OVERSLIP CONTROL® is yet another traction control strategy which activates when slipping in acceleration (SLIP) exceeds the maximum threshold limit (SLIP max).This strategy improves vehicle performance with particularly worn or lower performance tyres.

THE APRC SYSTEMSELF CALIBRATING PROCEDURE
IT MAKES APRC COMPATIBLE WITH DIFFERENT TYPES, SIZES AND BRANDS OF TYRE
The exclusive calibration procedure detects wheel rolling diameter and automatically calibrates the system. Selectable from instrument panel with motorcycle at rest Fundamental when changing tyre type or final drive ratio All it takes is riding the motorcycle on a level stretch of road at 40 Km/h for some seconds until CALIBRATING disappears from the display. If theprocedure is completed successfully, the message CALIBRATING disappears from the display when the bike is started again
