  • Bi-directional quickshifter executes ultra-fast, seamless gear changes without upsetting the chassis mid-corner
! 5 Negative Owner Reviews & Known Issues (Cons)
  • Severe, aggressive race clip-on ergonomics put excessive strain on wrists and lower back during road riding
  • Intense radiant engine heat quickly cooks the rider inner thighs when caught in stop-and-go traffic
  • Poor fuel economy combined with a small usable tank range necessitates frequent refueling stops
  • Lacks the semi-active electronic Ohlins suspension and larger 1099cc displacement found on the RSV4 Factory
  • Extremely limited steering lock makes low-speed U-turns and tight garage maneuvering awkward
β˜… Editor's Technical Verdict (2021)

Fully adjustable spring preload, hydraulic rebound and compression (120 mm / 4.7 in travel) and rear damping managed via Double-sided aluminium swingarm Sachs single shock absorber with piggy-back, adjustable spring preload, wheelbase, hydraulic interasse, compression and rebound APS progressive linkage (130 mm / 5.1 in travel). Braking performance is delivered by double disc, ABS, Brembo m4 floating stainless steel disc with lightweight stainless steel rotor and aluminium flange with 6 pins up front paired with single disc, ABS, Brembo calliper with two Ø 32 mm separate pistons at the rear. Factory rolling stock mounts a 120/70-ZR17 front tire and a 200/55-ZR17 rear tire, sizing the contact patch for predictable turn-in grip and replacement tire availability.

Producing 147.8 kW, the 2021 Aprilia Rsv4 Rr 1000 2021 2021 Aprilia RSV4 RR 1000 exceeds the 70 kW A2 restriction ceiling and requires a full unrestricted Class A motorcycle license. Routine workshop maintenance calls for recommended SAE 10W-40 4T (API SL/SN / JASO MA2) engine oil (1.00 litres (1.06 US quarts)), NGK CR8E / CPR8EA-9 spark plugs, cold tire pressures of 1.8 bar (26 psi) front / 2.0 bar (29 psi) rear.
