Aprilia has taken the wraps off one of their wildest rides yet, the RSV4 X Ex3ma! This special edition model has been limited to only 30 units worldwide, and Max Biaggi himself was involved in the motorcycle’s track development and final tuning. This is fitting, considering that the livery chosen is a tribute to one of the iconic bikes in Aprilia’s history, the RS 250, on which Max Biaggi won three consecutive world championships from 1994 to 1996 in the 250cc class.
The Aprilia RSV4 X Ex3ma is directly linked with MotoGP, as it is the first and only bike available for public sale equipped with ground-effect aerodynamics. The specific shape of the moulded fairing on the flanks exploits air pressure between the ground and the bike during cornering, increasing grip. The entire aerodynamic package, derived from MotoGP, includes the newly designed front wing, the underwing under the swingarm, and the cornering wings on the lower part of the front mudguard. The fairing is made entirely of carbon fibre, crafted by PAN Compositi using the same techniques as seen on MotoGP bikes.
The motorcycle sports Aprilia’s 65° V4 engine, with a displacement of 1099 cc, and has been fine-tuned by Aprilia Racing’s engine specialists to deliver 226 bhp at 13500 rpm and 13.35 kgm of torque at 11000 rpm. This performance is achieved through specific tuning of the V4, which includes a higher compression ratio, a high-permeability Sprint Filter air filter, and an SC Project exhaust system with titanium headers and twin tailpipes.
Each of the 30 Aprilia RSV4 X Ex3ma bikes, priced at 80,000 euros (excluding VAT) in Europe, will be available for reservation exclusively online starting in September on the Aprilia Factoryworks website. Lucky buyers will have the unique opportunity to collect their bike at Aprilia Racing in Noale, with an exclusive visit to the racing division. In addition to their limited and numbered RSV4, they will receive a Yashi laptop, a personalised bike cover, a dedicated carpet, and a rear stand.
