New chassis, updated 1,100 cc V4 engine expected in 2019 model
Aprilia is accounted for to take a shot at another age of the RSV4 superbike, and the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 is relied upon to get an amended motor with more power and uprooting and another body.
The 2019 Aprilia RSV4 is normal at some point in mid-2019, and as per reports, the new motor will make between 215-220 bhp to contend specifically with the Ducati Panigale V4. The present 1000 cc engine makes around 201 bhp, and it will be supplanted by a bigger 1,100 cc V4 unit, got from the Tuono. Like Ducati, Aprilia will likewise have two forms, a standard 1,100 cc adaptation and a 1,000 cc variant to contend in the World Superbike Championship.
The Aprilia RSV4 has been around since 2009, and the bicycle has gotten various updates throughout the years to make it a standout amongst the best superbikes accessible in the market today. Indeed, even with the updates, the RSV4 is truth be told, almost 10 years old, and this is the first run through the bicycle will get a complete refresh. The updates for 2019 will incorporate another suite of hardware and another skeleton also - one dependent on the present aluminum twin-fight structure, however stiffer and it's required to make the bicycle lighter by around 5-7 kg. Like the Panigale V4, the new RSV4 will be founded on the MotoGP model utilized by Aprilia riders Aleix Esparago and Scott Redding.
The 2019 Aprilia RSV4 is relied upon to be divulged at the EICMA appear in November this year, however there's no affirmation on when we can see a creation demonstrate yet. Prior dispatch June 2019, a restricted version Aprilia RSV4 was uncovered and the new 2019 model is required to get structure and styling refreshes also, including the presentation of winglets on the fairing.
- A new 1078cc 65-degreeV4 motor powers the 2019 RSV4 1100 Factory. The bump in displacement was achieved by increasing the bore from 78mm to 81mm. The 52.3mm stroke and 3.6:1 compression ratio remain identical to the RSV4 RR. A revised ECU increases the 1100’s rev ceiling to 13,600 rpm—600 rpm higher than the RSV4 RF and RR. With higher rpm, available torque increases by five ft/lbs over the V4 1000. The result is a motor that claims to produce a staggering 217 horsepower at 13,200 rpm and 90 ft/lbs at 11,000 rpm.
- A titanium Akrapovič exhaust system is standard. Although Aprilia has not provided specific weight numbers, the Euro 4 compliant exhaust should prove to be lighter than the alloy unit it replaces. If Akrapovič’s reputation is any indicator, this will allow the new V4 to be heard as it was intended to be.
- Fifth and sixth gears are longer. Due to the increased power output, Aprilia engineers increased the primary drive ratios for stretching out the 2019 RSV4 1100’s legs on the circuit.
- The 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory has increased power and reduced weight. The 2019 Aprilia RSV4 Factory has a claimed wet weight of 439 pounds—roughly 11 pounds lighter than the RR thanks to the titanium Akrapovič can and a lightweight lithium-ion battery. Eleven pounds is nothing to sneeze at in the Superbike world, especially when combined with the increased horsepower and torque output.
- Keen updates to the geometry should make the RSV4 1100 Factory handle even better. The RSV4 line is the only production Superbike on the market that features adjustable engine positions, headstock angle, swingarm position, and ride height. As impressed as we were with the 2017 RSV4 LINE, Aprilia saw room for improvement. Beginning with +3mm larger steering bushings, the RSV4 Factory’s headstock inclination has decreased, which works in conjunction with a 2mm reduction in the steering yoke offset to create a 4mm shorter wheelbase. These changes should improve the bike’s agility.
- The RSV4 Factory gets an updated swingarm. Falling in line with the geometry changes, the swingarm has been revised to increase stiffness. With the more than a modest bump in engine performance and geometric updates, this looks like a wise decision.
- The Öhlins suspension gets a minor change. The fully-adjustable 43mm Öhlins NIX fork gets an additional 0.2 inches of travel, bringing the total to just short of five inches. Aprilia has stated that this is to improve cornering performance. Complementing the fork is a fully-adjustable Öhlins TTX shock.
- Brembo Stylema calipers are standard. Replacing the stellar Brembo M50 calipers, the Stylema units will now be part of the standard RSV4 1100 Factory package. Those new items are accompanied by optional carbon fiber air ducts, which have been inspired by Aprilia Racing’s RS-GP machine.
- Aprilia’s full suite of electronics returns. To best deliver the RSV4 1100 Factory’s step up in performance, the highly regarded electronics package is tuned for this specific application. Aprilia’s electronics suite is one of the most comprehensive and sophisticated offerings on the market. Features include three levels of wheelie control, launch controls, and cornering ABS.
- Winglets are part of the new look, and serve a function. Taking a page from the exclusive Aprilia RSV4 RF LE, the 1100 Factory features carbon fiber winglets that are now boldly featured on nearly every MotoGP machine currently in the field. “The particular shape designed in the wind tunnel and the inclination at which they are mounted take advantage of the downforce of the channeled air to let the winglets increase stability at high speeds,” according to an Aprilia source, “contributing to decreasing the tendency for wheelies coming out of turns and at the same time increasing stability in hard braking.”
- The menacing matte-black finishes certainly match the V4’s sound. Although this isn’t a complete stylistic revision, it is a noteworthy refreshing. Also, the front mudguard, side panels, and exhaust shield are made out of carbon fiber, saving precious ounces while also being quite dashing. The graphic treatment on the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory is called Atomico 6.
- Track junkies will crave Aprilia’s V4-MP option. The V4-MP data acquisition function collects electronic settings in every corner and allows you to download in the info to your laptop or mobile device for instant review. You can even make or receive phone calls via voice controls while working your way through the Corkscrew or Lukey Heights.
