If you thought the Aprilia RSV 1100 Factory is one crazy motorcycle, then you ought to feast your eyes on the exquisite RSV4 X. Limited to only 10 units, Produces 221.8bhp and weighs only 165kg, the RSV4 X is a track-only motorcycle that has been derived by Aprilia Racing with components derived from its WSBK and MotoGP race bikes.

The ‘X’ in the RSV4 X stands for the completion of 10 years since the Italian bike maker introduced its flagship superbike, the RSV4. The RSV4 X features some unique equipment like the new ANN (Aprilia No Neutral) gearbox which has the neutral located below the first gear. As per Aprilia, this arrangement allows faster upshifting from first to second and prevents any up-shifting errors. Heavy usage of carbonfibre for the motorcycle’s panels as well as the rear sub-frame has helped in shedding weight tremendously. Plus, it gets a lighter fuel tank, Marchesini forged wheels and Pirelli slicks. All of the above items help the RSV4 X tip the scales at 165kg dry, a 12 kilo reduction over the 1100 Factory.

 The RSV4 X gets a motor derived from the RSV4 1100 Factory. While the latter produces just 217PS, the X gets 8PS more as peak power stands at 225PS. This has been achieved by major reworking of the engine’s mechanical bits which are WSBK-derived. You also get an Akrapovic exhaust system with the air-filter from Aprilia’s MotoGP bike. This does necessitate a new ECU which has dedicated track settings only.

Finally, you also find Brembo GP4-MS race callipers which operate on a set of steel discs. The units are straight from their MotoGP bike. The X is the first motorcycle in the world to get such kind of stopping power.

With only ten pieces going into production, one can only get their hands on the bike by accessing the company’s website post the second half of April. It retails for 39,900 Euros which roughly equates to Rs 31.14 lakh, excluding Indian taxes and shipping charges.
