Aprilia RSV 4 Max Biaggi Replica Superbike
Aprilia RSV4 Max Biaggi replica superbike The bike is
destined for the racing track and can be used as an entry-level WSBK race
machine as it offers a heck more performance over the production street version
and also meets FIM regulations.
The RSV4 Biaggi Replica features a 65-degree V4 with Weber-Marelli throttle
bodies, two injectors per cylinder, adjustable height intake ducts and
ride-by-wire throttle. The power of V4 is channeled to the track through an
extractable six-gear transmission with a multi-disc bath clutch and mechanical
anti-skipping system. It also features a 4-2-1 titanium sport exhaust with a
single-side silencer in carbon and titanium.
When it comes to chassis, adjustability is key
for tailoring a machine to every rider's unique settings. The Biaggi Replica has
an aluminum double rail frame with cast and pressed elements featuring an
adjustable headstock position and angle, engine height and swingarm pin height.
As for suspension, found out front are an Ohlins
fork with 43mm stanchions and tin-surface treatment, adjustable pre-charge,
compression and extension. Out back is an Ohlins TTX36 mono-shock absorber with
adjustable in spring pre-charge, offset, compression and extension with
dedicated calibration. The suspensions operate via a progressive APS linkage.
Regarding electronics, the Biaggi repli-racer is
loaded with the latest technology, including a digital APX on-board computer
that uses advanced vehicle management strategies including: TCS traction
control, QuickShift assisted shifting, Antibacklash system, engine brake and pit
lane speed limiter. All the parameters of these gizmos can be modified with a
push of a button on the handlebar or dedicated "Aprilia Racing Palm."
Stopping power is provided by Brembo, with radial
attachment single body calipers and sintered pads that operate on 320mm front
floating disks. To save weight, the system utilizes a lightened stainless steel
braking surface and a flange in aluminum.
Where this power meets the pavement you'll find
radial Pirelli Diablo SBK tires, 120/75 on the front and 190/65 on the rear,
wrapped around Marchesini forged magnesium alloy wheel rims with a seven spoke
design and "anti slip" treatment.
Regarding looks, the RSV4 Biaggi Replica is
available in the Alitalia livery of Biaggi's machine, or a carbon look, and can
be used as an entry level for the SBK class in accordance with FIM regulations.
Gigi Dall’lgna, technical and sport manager of Aprilia Racing says:
“With the RSV4 Biaggi Replica we offer the sports enthusiast a motorcycle which
is as close as you can get to the RSV4 that Max rides on the track in World
Superbike. In this project, which was developed in parallel to our re-entry into
SBK, we poured out all of our knowledge and years of experience on tracks all
over the world. This is the bike which came out of it, conceived and developed
within Aprilia Racing to offer unique sensations to the shrewd user.”
