An important design and production achievement which makes the RSV Mille R a new reference point for competitors, with this motorbike representing the perfect balance in terms of quality, technology, components and finish at an absolutely competitive price. This represents much more than a simple assembly operation. Indeed, everything has been optimised, designed and produced as a whole, tested, set-up and modified technically so as to achieve the balance of technology and performance and riding efficiency that have become Aprilia's traditional trademark and the distinctive characteristic of every Aprilia product. As in the case of the new RSV Mille, the R version has been subject to an almost complete restyling, without however breaking with the lines and constructive philosophy of a motorcycle whose personality, originality and character immediately convey to the rider a sense of ease and confidence. The choice of the 60 V twin guarantees a light and compact engine and allows the development of mechanical components of the highest level, with optimum weight distribution.
Ignition is controlled by the engine's integrated control system, which also controls injection.
The internal shape of the support surfaces of the disks and the lubrication of the entire clutch assembly has also been modified, in order to improve adhesion, activation and life-span, and to reduce the force on the lever. A constant in this specialist version is the splendid aluminium alloy box-type double beam frame, which has characterised the Aprilia twin since its first appearance. The saddle mount has been modified to take account of the bike's single seater format. Made from aluminium, this specific configuration further reduces the motorbike's weight. The two-seater kit is available as a spare part.
