Built around Aprilia Rsv4 2021's sport motorcycle platform, the 2021 Aprilia Rsv4 2021 Aprilia RSV4 relies on a 1099 cc (67.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 122 Nm (90 lb-ft) at 11,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 85.0 x 52.3 mm (3.3 x 2.1 inches) with a 13.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Aprilia RSV4 measures 177 kg (390 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,439 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 285 km (177 miles) between fill-ups.
