At the heart of the 2011 Aprilia RXV 5.5 super motard motorcycle, Aprilia relies on a 550 cc (33.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 918 mm (36.1 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
