Aprilia RSV 4 R
APRILIA RSV4 R
Aprilia RSV4 R is the latest chapter in
a project conceived to win in the SBK championship, and to allow
enthusiasts access to the best that Aprilia technology and racing
expertise has to offer.
RSV4 R is created for sports
motorcyclists demanding the ultimate in performance and
technological sophistication. This bike redefines the limits of
performance and - above all - opens them up to each individual
rider in a concept destined to become a future
benchmark.
RSV4 R, A WINNING LINEAGE
An instant winner. The RSV4 Superbike ridden by Max Biaggi,
Shinya Nakano and – for one spectacular foray – by
Marco Simoncelli, was an unstoppable phenomenon in the 2009 world
championship reserved for production derived machines, with an
incredible debut season that culminated in one win, nine podium
finishes and a fourth placing in the world championship for Max
Biaggi before the final round in Portugal. These
superlative results demonstrate - in no uncertain terms - the
technological supremacy of a machine that has proved to be
competitive right from the first incredible outing of
the V4 engine. A project conceived not just to create a
motorcycle that delivers the utmost in performance, but one that
also allows the rider to make full use of every last iota of its
competitive potential. The excellent results achieved by all the
champions who have raced the bike have not come by chance.
Aprilia RSV4 R is the latest product of this winning
project, a no-compromise hypersports motorcycle:
ultra-technological and innovative, a machine that gives
riders the means to constantly raise the bar of their own
personal limits. Aprilia RSV4 has brought a wind of
change into the world of hypersports bikes; Just one look
and you know that its genes are made up of the same winning DNA
as the bikes that have earned the marque from Noale 36 world
championship titles on the racetrack.
RSV4 R is a true Aprilia, above all because it is so
incredibly easy to ride, bringing superlative
performance within the reach of any rider.
Aprilia RSV4 R represents the beginning of a new
generation of hypersports motorcycles: with its essential concept
and pure design, it eschews an overfaired look in favour of body
elements pared down to the bare minimum necessary for aerodynamic
efficiency. The breathtaking beauty of the mechanicals reveals a
bike that achieves levels of compactness which, until now, had
only been possible in much smaller engined machines and GP
prototypes. State of the art technology for the engine and
chassis, coupled with extraordinary
usability, make this the perfect companion for the rider
who wants to reach and redefine his limits with unparalleled
feeling and ease.
These aspects of the project not only give the bike such
incredible performance but are also what make it so easy to put
every last horsepower to good use. Nothing about this bike is
commonplace, and this is even true about the technical solutions
adopted - this is the world's first full scale production
motorcycle with a high performance narrow V4 engine, the
most revolutionary and powerful engine ever built by Aprilia.
Together with the fully integrated electronics,
record breaking lightness and extreme
compactness, this engine gives the bike its unique,
unmistakable character.
World class components: the fully adjustable upside down
Showa front fork and Sachs rear shock, manufactured to Aprilia
specifications, ensure superlative performance and offer
the rider incredible feedback for absolute
control in any situation. The Brembo brakes with radial
monobloc callipers, ultralight alloy wheel rims
featuring an exclusive design and the Sachs steering damper
ensure the utmost in safety in all riding conditions.
With these attributes, it is clear that the RSV4 R is the
new benchmark for the full scale production superbike
segment. The unique characteristics of the bike are
listed as follows:
-
Class beating compactness
-
999.6 cc 65° V4 cylinder engine.
-
Latest generation triple-map Integrated
Ride-by-Wire
-
Cassette type gearbox
-
Slipper clutch
-
Frame and swingarm in anodised aluminium, as used on
MotoGP machines
-
Fully adjustable suspension
Design
Usually, when talking about a sports bike, design plays a minimal
role as it has always been dictated by set rules demanding large
faired surfaces.
This has all changed now, because the Aprilia RSV4
R rewrites the rule book with its incredible,
revolutionary looks. Its minimal
fairing showcases instead of hides the
technological superiority of the bikes chassis and
mechanicals. In doing so, the frame and engine cross
over from being purely technical or functional elements to become
integral parts of the design. Aprilia RSV4 R is clad in
an incredibly close fitting skin that emphasises its forms while
also being extremely functional and instrumental in
maximising performance.
Just look at the top fairing, a brilliant example of how
form and function can be fused to perfection. The quest
for ideal breathing conditions for the V4 engine gave rise to the
bike's uniquely distinctive face. The gaping dynamic air
intakes not only generate optimum overpressure in the
airbox, but also visually separate the headlights
completely from the rest of the top fairing.
The tail fairing is another distinguishing trait
of the RSV4 R: outrageously compact and swept upward, its seems
to trail away from the rest of the bike.
Smaller, lower and narrower than any other 4 cylinder
bike has ever been or could be, extreme compactness is
the greatest strength of the RSV4 R. On top of all this is the
almost obsessive pursuit of perfect ergonomics
(crucial for perfect control) which has always distinguished
Aprilia's sports machines.
The 65° V4 engine: The state of the
art in superbike engine technology
For years, Aprilia has known that the narrow V
configuration is the ideal engine solution for maximum
performance, mass centralisation and dynamic bike
balance. Used in the past for the marque's sports twins
and revived for the RSV4 Superbike project, this engine
architecture immediately proved to be competitive on the track.
The 65° V4 engine in the Aprilia RSV4 R is very
closely related to the powerplant which, with Max Biaggi at the
helm, has proven to be mind-bendingly quick on the
track. An engine delivering incredible performance which
also allows a remarkable degree of freedom in the design of the
chassis. Thanks to this engine, the chassis engineers
have been able to create a superlative chassis architecture
worthy of the reputation of Aprilia's finest hypersports
machines.
In addition to the engineering exclusiveness of a configuration
that is without par anywhere in the world, the technical
advantages of Aprilia's 65° V4 are:
-
The engine sits perfectly within the frame for
optimised mass centralisation
-
The possibility of creating an ideal chassis
layout, with the pinion shifted far forward and a long
swingarm
-
Absolute slimness; with overall width
comparable to that of a twin cylinder bike
-
Minimised frontal area, translating to huge
benefits in terms of aerodynamic efficiency
-
The possibility of very large bores; the
slimness of the engine means that the engineers can define very
oversquare combustion chamber layouts, increasing the valve
diameter and improving efficiency
-
Optimum fluid dynamics with an angle between
cylinders greater than the industry standard of 60°,
leaving more space for straight intake ducts.
The engine was entirely developed by Aprilia's in-house
R&D division, a centre of technological excellence
and one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in Europe,
which benefits from the invaluable support of the highly
successful Aprilia Race Division. The goal of the engineers was
not just to achieve class beating performance but also to
make the engine much more usable than any of its rivals,
because horsepower alone means nothing if the rider cannot make
full use of every last ounce of power. The narrow V architecture
has resulted in an engine that is incredibly compact in
length, offering advantages in terms of mass
centralisation and minimising the inertia ellipse, which in turn
made it possible to define an extremely high performance chassis.
The innovative timing system (with the chain driving only the
intake camshaft, which in turn drives the exhaust camshaft via a
gear) has made extremely compact heads (just 250
mm at the rear of the engine) especially in the area beneath the
frame spars, which are thus much narrower than would otherwise be
possible.
A countershaft dampens first and second order
vibrations, making the engine even smoother than a 90° V
twin.
The monobloc crankcase with integrated cylinder liners
ensures maximum rigidity and consistent performance.
State of the art electronics
The electronic management system is another example of the V4
engine's technological supremacy. Full
Ride-by-Wire technology eliminates any direct connection
between the throttle grip and the throttle valves, which are
entirely controlled by a latest Marelli control unit that also
controls the ignition and the 8 injectors (the 4 secondary fan
pattern injectors come into play at high loads).
Each bank has a dedicated servo unit actuating its own
two throttle bodies only. This means that the aperture
of the four throttle valves and, as a consequence, the quantity
of fuel injected, can be controlled independently. This solution,
applied here for the first time ever in a production bike,
opens up practically infinite possibilities for power
delivery control. This technology offers immediately
tangible benefits to the rider, with triple
mapping (adjusting power delivery and maximum power)
selectable directly from the handlebar allowing
the character of the bike to be modified to suit the rider's
personal riding style or the track conditions at any time.
•
T - TRACK: no-compromise performance for
track use
Unleashes the full 180 bhp of fury at the slightest twist of the
grip. Recommended for expert riders in ideal track and weather
conditions;
•
S-SPORT: for exciting road
use
Smooth power delivery. Torque limited in the first 3 gears for
greater control. For an exciting but less challenging ride;
•
R - ROAD: Total usability in all
conditions
Power reined in to 140 HP in all gears. Greater
usability in all conditions.
A butterfly valve in the exhaust optimises power
delivery.
The transmission has also been designed to the meet most advanced
criteria to offer the maximum performance possible. To
underscore the racing soul of the V4 engine, it is mated to a
cassette gearbox with a wet sump lubrication system
(with oil in the crankcase). The wet clutch features a
mechanical slipper system for optimised engine braking
torque control and stability under hard
braking.

Chassis
Aprilia bikes have always been world famous for the superiority
of these chassis. RSV4 R raises the bar even higher with a
totally state of the art chassis architecture which,
drawing from the expertise accumulated by Aprilia in
years of racing and victories, tames the explosive power
of the V4 engine to offer the rider absolute control over the
bike.
Quite simply, the RSV4 R is the best package available
today for the rider demanding the utmost in performance
in a bike that is as exciting as a track day machine as it is fun
to ride on the open road.
Perfectly centralised masses is just one of the strengths
of the RSV4 R chassis. To achieve this result, every
single aspect has been optimised down to the tiniest detail.
As on a racing machine, the fuel tank is positioned so
that the majority of the fuel sits under the saddle
optimising bike balance and cancelling out handling differences
between full and empty tank conditions.
In keeping with consolidated Aprilia traditions, the
aluminium frame of the RSV4 R exploits the
strength and flexibility of cast and pressed elements,
which are welded together in a structure setting new
benchmarks in terms of balance and dynamic efficiency.
The result is maximum torsional stiffness and flexional
stiffness optimised for total bike control. This means
that the Aprilia RSV4 R is not just a bike with
devastating performance, but one whose greatest strength is
precisely the incredible ease with which any rider can access its
full potential. The swingarm also uses the same
constructional technology as the frame and offers the
same perfect balance between flexional and torsional stiffness to
contribute to the extraordinary handling capabilities of the RSV4
R.
The unique construction technology of the frame and
swingarm allows them both to proudly flaunt the naturally
gleaming colour of aluminium, yet another feature that
is increasingly rarer in production bikes that contributes to
pure racing look of the RSV4 R.
Suspension
Completing the chassis is a superlative suspension layout
- the upside down Showa fork has 43 mm diameter
stanchions and features adjustable spring preload and hydraulic
compression and rebound damping.
The Sachs rear shock was developed from
experience learned directly on the track. This sock absorber
boasts a piggy back nitrogen canister (separate and mounted on
the body of the unit) and adjustable spring preload,
compression and rebound damping and length, allowing the
height of the rear end of the bike to be altered to modify the
set-up to suit different riding styles and tracks.
Completing the package is a steering damper,
also by Sachs, which ensures impeccable
high speed stability and millimetre
precision in setting the bike up for turns.
Brakes
The brake system is, without a shadow of a doubt, the
best conventional motorcycle system currently offered anywhere on
the market. The monobloc radial front callipers
by Brembo currently represent the state of the art in
racing brake systems. Literally the best you could possibly
desire.
The dual 320 mm floating steel discs employ low
profile rotors and asymmetric cross-drilling, shaving
approximately 500 g from the front wheel and reducing unsprung
mass. The floating retainer is fastened to the flange
with 6 pins only in order to minimise inertia and
weight.
The brake pump is the radial type to improve lever feel
and response accuracy.
The Brembo rear brake system uses a 220 mm stainless
steel disc with a two piston calliper mounted directly onto the
swingarm
Components
A real Superbike is special not only as far as performance is
concerned but also for the care it is built with. The details on
the RSV4 R speak volumes of a bike built with an
obsessive attention to every single aspect, both technical and
otherwise.
The following are just some of the most significant class
leading components used:
- Instrument panel: the mixed type
(digital-analogue), it receives all the information from
the CAN line and becomes an integral and crucial part of the
self-diagnosis system as it is fitted with
memory.This is a fully fledged on-board
computer, with a dot matrix display set against a
minimalist, ultramodern and compact design. Its
functions have been improved and are all accessible from
three easy to use buttons.
- Headlight: the triple headlamp layout
is not just a reference to the legendary original RSVMille, but
designed to offer total night time visibility.
- Electrical system: designed from the outset to
offer maximum functionality and rationality with minimum
weight. The result is an extremely clean and compact
layout that makes for easier maintenance and is ready for track
use, as all components relative to the lights and turn indicators
are easily removable.
The thoughts of those who created RSV4 R.
Leo Francesco Mercanti –
Head of Product Development and Racing for the Piaggio
Group.
Aprilia RSV4 R is the result of a project developed with the
precise aim of redefining the parameters of a sporty bike. It's
the utmost expression of the Aprilia culture: Races, Passion and
Technical innovation.
After astonishing the entire world of enthusiasts by
demonstrating the extraordinary competitiveness of the RSV4 right
from the start, Aprilia's launch of the " R " version
will take it back to the top of the supersports market.
RSV4 R is an on-the-road racing bike that offers everyone the
fantastic mix of power and dynamic equilibrium typical of the
most sophisticated competitive vehicles. RSV4 R is powerful, but
accessible and easy to use, combining record power and weight
levels with grace of handling, power delivery and electronics to
guarantee the best overall performance.
Today's level of technology is such that forward leaps are more
and more difficult.
With the RSV4 project, Aprilia has accepted the challenge: the
bike took shape on a blank piece of paper, without any influences
or heritage from existing models. We merely asked ourselves what
the ideal sports bike should be like, and then we created it.
Choosing a unique engine configuration, the V4, just because it's
the best choice when you want to maintain that equilibrium that
everyone recognises in our sports bikes.
We wanted it to be small, compact and lightweight. It was a real
challenge, but now we can see the tangible result of what we
imagined, with its aggressive design and essential lines, that's
the best reward for all our efforts, without compromises. Aprilia
RSV4 R is a real racing Aprilia, that only the experience of 35
world speed titles can help you to create.
If the RSV4 R is good for Max Biaggi, it's good
for you as well!!
Stefano Sterpone – Piaggio Group
EMEA Sales Manager
The Aprilia RSV4 R is a new challenge that we are
enthusiastically bringing to the market, and we are confident
that it will meet with approval of both our Dealer partners and
our Customers.
The performance achieved since the introduction of the Superbike
RSV4 Factory to the market has been very good, and the sales
volumes reached up until today have been even higher than our
best expectations.
I am confident that this success will continue also with the new
“street” version designed for the true experts and
fans of Italian supersport bikes. I say that also because today
Aprilia can rely on a strong, specialised and particularly
motivated Network that has been awaiting for a long time an
Italian product whose quality exceeds that of our
competitors’ product and which is able to arouse enthusiasm
on the track as well as on the road.
Our commitment is therefore to turn the success achieved by this
motorcycle on the track into a commercial success and a daily
thrill for our Aprilia Customers.
Romano Albesiano –
Head of Bike Design and Development for the Piaggio
Group.
The RSV4 mission was well-defined from the word go: to be the
world's fastest sports bike both on the track and on the road.
This was true for the Factory version, and is still the case for
the R version, too.
If we had the advantage, for the Factory version, of
"arms" absolutely out of the ordinary in terms of
vehicle equipment, it's on the R that the positive basic features
of the RSV4 project really emerge in all their glory, to the
extent that we've gone well beyond the performance levels of our
best competitors. The riding pleasure and feeling of overall
equilibrium are sensations that every rider should experience.
And even in comparison with the Factory, the difference in terms
of lap times is minimal, or sometimes inexistent.
It's worth remembering that various possible engine
configurations were taken into consideration when the project was
first set up: 3 in line, 4 in line, V4 with 90° cylinder
banks, and narrow V4.
The narrow V4 was chosen firstly for its guarantee of extreme
compactness of the masses, and secondly for the need to
capitalise on the great and positive experience built up over the
years with the twin cylinder RSV 1000, in terms of general
vehicle equilibrium.
I should point out that of the three possible layouts, the one we
chose was, at the time, definitely the most expensive in terms of
development costs and the cost of each single vehicle. A
difference that obviously becomes even more marked when compared
with any type of twin cylinder.
Aprilia's challenge with the RSV4 R therefore became that of
offering the customer greater value compared with all our
competitors' products, but at a similar price, or even lower.
In my opinion, the fact that we obtained this result is an
important technical and industrial success for both Aprilia and
the entire Piaggio Group. We believe the Aprilia RSV4 R is the
sports bike with the absolute best quality-performance/price
ratio in the world today.
Claudio Lombardi –
RSV4 Engine project manager
“Unique” is a word used so often for new products
that it's lost some of its meaning. And yet this is the only
adjective that I can find to describe the engine of the Aprilia
RSV4.
An engine that's the result of a “high risk” project
and of the challenge launched by Aprilia's chassis engineers
towards the engine experts: to produce an engine with a high
level of specific power (180 cv/l) - therefore four cylinders -
without jeopardising the manageability and manoeuvrability
offered by the twin cylinder RSV 1000. These were the necessary
features:
- the mass extremely “concentrated“ around the
vehicle's centre of gravity in both the longitudinal and
transversal directions;
- the maximum control of the driving torque supplied by the
engine.
The engine experts' reply to this challenge was:
- narrow V architecture (65°);
- fully electronic engine management, using Ride-by-Wire.
No engine in this category - supersports production - had these
features: we had to develop a project right from scratch, without
any points of reference. It was a huge challenge, as is always
the case when you're developing real innovative products. The
team that I had the pleasure of leading was rewarded by the
unanimous success and appreciation earned by the RSV4, as well as
the great competitiveness demonstrated straight away in the
Superbike World Championship, with the irreplaceable contribution
of the great Max Biaggi and the technical and sports know-how of
Aprilia Racing.
Today, the R version of the RSV4 project offers sports
motorcyclists a product that's accessible, yet still maintaining
the motoring performance levels that are the foundation stones of
the project. I'm sure it'll be as successful as the Factory
version, extending it to an ever wider clientele.
Gigi Dall’Igna –
Technical Racing Head for the Piaggio Group.
Throughout the period of the RSV4 project, right from the first
meeting with that famous “blank paper” on the table,
two teams - the racing one and the production one - worked side
by side. We compared ideas on every aspect, evaluating the
various proposals to arrive at an agreement every time.
It's no secret that the engine configuration (a V4 that's
absolutely unique in the production world) was chosen with the
precise aim of winning on the track.
But the entire RSV4 project was based on the twofold goal of
excelling both in competitions and on the market.
From the performance point of view, all the dimensional and
technical calculations were made within the racing department.
Mr. Lombardi, who worked with us to develop the engine, was the
key player of a great job; the resulting engine offers as
standard certain technical features that we regularly use on the
racing version. For use in SBK, also the transmission is a
faithful ally: the fact of having a totally removable solution -
just like for the RSV4 R - allows us to work on the gear set-up
directly on the track, so we can adapt the bike to any surface.
The slipper clutch and Ride By Wire throttle grip (which we'd
already introduced back in 2002 for the MotoGP RS3) are
particularly interesting, too; in our case it intervenes in the
hard braking phase, managing the engine brake.
Miguel Galluzzi, Director of the Piaggio Group Style
Centre
We worked painstakingly on the style of the RSV4, knowing we had
a beautiful mechanics that deserved to be left on full view.
That's how the idea of a minimal fairing was born, and from there
our experience in the wind tunnel drove us to push that concept
to the limit. We simply realised that a short fairing evacuates
the heat better. At the same time we were able to reduce the
width as well, thanks to the exceptional measurements of the V4.
The limited dimensions of the tail fairing make it stand out, so
it seems to be moulded from the bottom up; it's a sort of design
symbol in this search for minimalist forms. And all this still
assures a degree of comfort that I believe to be extraordinary
for a supersports bike like the RSV4R.
Throughout the process, our clear aim was always to create a bike
immediately recognisable as an Aprilia. This goal led to design
choices like that of the three headlamps – as a tribute to
the first version of the twin cylinder RSV – that allowed
us to open up important slits for airbox respiration, and the
design of the rims (resulting from the exceptional racing
experience of our company).
Mariano Fioravanzo –
Head of Sports Bike Design for the Piaggio Group
It was clear from the start that the RSV4 wasn't just a question
of developing a bike, but of creating a project made up of
various steps, with the overall aim of bringing Aprilia back to
the top levels of world motorcycling both on the track and in the
market.
A project whose goal was to plough a furrow in the world of
supersports bikes and which, for this very reason, developed
around the most practical choices in the search for top levels of
performance and sporting flair.
Ironically, the brand new RSV4 R was the most complicated step
from the engineering viewpoint, as we had to maintain all the
special features of the sisters SBK and Factory, but on a bike
designed to offer performance and technology to everyone, and
with a product ready to let every rider reach his own limit
straight away, raising his personal crossbar lap after lap.
To reach this goal, we concentrated above all on the development
of the suspension system, settings and mapping. The end result
was amazing, even for us, as the new RSV4 R is extremely
effective with high performance levels, but can also be used by
less specialised but equally expert, demanding riders. Further
proof of the excellence of the choices made on the RSV4 project.
