When Aprilia entered the RSV4 into the 2009 World Superbike Championship, the Italian company had one goal in mind - win a title. Well, it didn't get the title in its debut year, but it did this year after Max Biaggi took the 2010 WSBK Championship aboard the RSV4.
This technology spills over into their street RSV4 Factory, one that has already received much praise due to its technological advantages.
So what does Aprilia do? Improve on an already amazing machine. At Intermot 2010, Aprilia released the RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition, born from technology that helped the Aprilia dominate World SBK this year, and also garner 45 championships in MotoGP.
The RSV4 Factory APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) Special Edition builds upon the already popular RSV4 Factory, allowing Aprilia to set a new standard for future road bike development.
The new features of the RSV4 Factory APRC SE are: unique adjustable traction control capable of self-adjusting to suit different types of tires, wheelie control, launch control and quick shift.
This is added to all the features that made the RSV4 Facotry famous: the first 65° V-4 engine ever in a sports production bike, a chassis worthy of a 250 GP, Ride By Wire, and multimap engine management.
Aprilia's vast technology capacity made it possible to create the electronic engine management system of the RSV4 Factory SBK that dominated the 2010 World Superbike Championship with Max Biaggi fully in-house.
Thanks to new insights earned in racing and the close collaboration between racing team, Racing Department and R&D, know how is nearly immediately passed on to production. This is how the Aprilia people were able to turn out the fastest, most effective bike on the track, a bike whose only goal is to post the fastest lap.
