Adjustment for preload, compression and rebound. while the rear was equipped with a Double arch aluminum swingarm; mixed thin-wall casting and pressed sheet construction. Öhlins monoshock with piggy-back cylinder. Adjustments for compression, rebound, spring preload and length. APS rising rate linkages.. The bike weighed just 179 Kg / 395 lbs. | |||
== Overview == | |||
Aprilia will build two versions of | |||
the RSV4 the basic and Factory models both of which will be powered by | |||
Aprilias all-new 65-degree V4 engine. The new V4 is expected to make around | |||
180bhp in street trim (in a package that weighs barely 190kg), while the racing | |||
version will pump out around 210-220bhp. | |||
Apart from that formidable V4 engine, the 2009 RSV4 gets aluminum twin-spar | |||
chassis with adjustable engine mounts, aluminum swingarm, fully adjustable | |||
Öhlins suspension, ride-by-wire throttle, three different fuel-injection maps | |||
(which vary the power delivery intensity), variable-length inlet tracts and | |||
electronic traction control. | |||
A revolutionary design project has led to a truly | |||
unique motorcycle and Aprilias return to the Superbike World Championship. | |||
With 31 world championship titles, 250 MotoGP wins and 8 Superbike victories in | |||
the last sixteen years, Aprilia is a legend in modern motorcycling. Aprilia | |||
motorcycles have dominated circuits all over the world thanks to unconventional | |||
technical solutions, experimentation and innovation and, sometimes, by | |||
revolutionising technology thought to be unchangeable. | |||
With this unique sporting heritage behind them, Aprilia is proud to present the | |||
RSV4, the bike with which Aprilia will return to the Superbike World | |||
Championship in 2009. This extraordinary machine has been conceived, designed | |||
and developed entirely by Aprilia Racing for competition use. | |||
The RSV4 will make its debut in the 2009 Superbike | |||
World Championship. With four cylinders, 999 cc and top of the class power in | |||
the race-ready version, this revolutionary machine is packed with innovative | |||
design and manufacturing solutions of the sort we have come to expect from | |||
Aprilia. A V-four engine with total electronic management, and an exceptionally | |||
light and compact chassis are just some of the features that make this bike | |||
unique in the world of motorcycling. The revolutionary design of the Aprilia | |||
RSV4 comes directly from Europes biggest and most successful racing team. | |||
The road-going version of the RSV4 also benefits from the extraordinary | |||
technical know-how that Aprilia Racing has accumulated over two decades of | |||
success in MotoGP, and is packed with advanced solutions from GP racing. In | |||
short, the RSV4 stands alone as a exclusive, genuine, and in many ways unique | |||
racing replica. | |||
The Aprilia RSV4 is powered by the most | |||
revolutionary and most powerful engine ever developed by Aprilia. This 65° V | |||
four unit is based on an architecture that is unique in the world of supersport | |||
motorcycles, and features refined engineering combined with prestigious | |||
materials and advanced electronic management solutions. | |||
The new engine uses multi-mapping ride-by-wire technology, a solution that opens | |||
up new horizons in engine control, and offers virtually infinite opportunities | |||
for power delivery and traction control (present as standard on the racing | |||
version). | |||
The choice of a narrow V layout has led to the development of an incredibly | |||
narrow engine. This in turn has permitted weight to be centralised and chassis | |||
performance dramatically improved (thanks to a short wheelbase and long | |||
swingarm). The narrow V-four configuration permits a longer stroke to be used, | |||
with clear benefits in terms of improved engine breathing. High engine speeds | |||
can therefore be reached without having to extend the width of the crankcase. | |||
This is fundamentally important to aerodynamics and manoeuvrability (two | |||
characteristics for which Aprilia motorcycles have always been universally | |||
acclaimed). | |||
The monobloc cylinder block features integrated | |||
liners for maximum rigidity and consistent efficiency. The air intake trumpets | |||
are variable in length. Each bank of cylinders has a servomotor dedicated | |||
exclusively to the operation of their two throttle bodies. The aperture of the | |||
four butterfly valves, and therefore the volume of air inducted, can therefore | |||
be controlled independently. This solution opens up new horizons in electronic | |||
engine and power management, resulting in truly advanced integral traction | |||
control. A cassette type gearbox and a slipper clutch demonstrate the racing | |||
character of this engine. | |||
The Aprilia RSV4 has been designed and developed with competition in mind, and | |||
naturally offers all the adjustments normally found on racing machines. In | |||
particular, this most powerful Aprilia ever made stands out for its complete | |||
range of chassis adjustments. The variable geometry frame not only allows you to | |||
change parameters like headstock angle (thanks to interchangeable steering | |||
bushings), but even lets you adjust swingarm and engine position. Racing | |||
technology has been used for all aspects of construction. The RSV4s aluminum | |||
frame and swingarm are constructed from a clever mix of thick-walled parts and | |||
variable section sheet. | |||
All components are naturally of the highest calibre. They include an Öhlins | |||
fork, rear monoshock and steering damper, Brembo monobloc brake calipers and | |||
forged aluminum wheels. | |||
The styling of the Aprilia RSV4 has followed the | |||
same approach as the rest of the design. The RSV4s racing character is clear | |||
from every component, and from the absence of solutions chosen only for | |||
appearances. As a result the overall design of the RSV4 and the advanced | |||
technology of its component parts merge into a uniquely harmonious whole that is | |||
superbly functional on the racetrack the natural habitat of this latest | |||
Aprilia. | |||
The fairing has been developed in the wind tunnel. Minimal in size, it in no way | |||
detracts from the stunning technology of the engine. The frame/engine system is | |||
fully visible and bulges like muscles beyond the fairing. | |||
The triple headlight cluster makes the RSV4 instantly recognisable and unique | |||
from the very first glance. | |||
The superbly lightweight tail slopes upwards to emphasise the dynamic nature of | |||
the Aprilia RSV4. Even when stationary, the bike simply exudes a desire for | |||
speed and competition. | |||
