At the Catalan Grand Prix, Aprilia launched the highly anticipated RSV4 X-GP MotoGP edition, a track-only machine designed to deliver an experience close to riding a full MotoGP bike. Limited to just 30 units for the European market, this model celebrates Aprilia’s decade-long presence in MotoGP, merging race technology with production-based engineering.
Technical Excellence: Power and Performance
The RSV4 X-GP is powered by a 1099cc 65º V4 engine, refined by Aprilia Racing’s engineers to generate 238 horsepower at 13,750 rpm along with 131 Nm of torque. Weighing only 165 kg dry, its exceptional power-to-weight ratio rivals that of prototype race bikes, creating an unmatched level of agility and performance for a track-exclusive motorcycle.
A Vision from Aprilia Racing’s Leadership
Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing, described the spirit behind the project:
“Ten years after our return to MotoGP, Aprilia Racing wanted to celebrate it with a truly special X, taking as much as possible from MotoGP and transferring many concepts from the RS-GP25 into a production-derived bike. It is, without doubt, a unique, beautiful, and extremely intriguing product, capable of delivering special sensations – the kind only race riders usually experience – but which even an enthusiast can clearly feel. It is a product for a select few, embodying all the passion, technology, and craftsmanship of Aprilia Racing.” —Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing
Ownership Includes Exclusive Benefits and Experience
Each owner of the RSV4 X-GP will be invited to Aprilia’s Noale headquarters to receive a comprehensive kit, including a laptop preloaded with the ECU software, a digital NFT certificate verifying authenticity, titanium paddock stands, and a set of full track accessories. Priced at €90,000 plus VAT, this bike is positioned as more than just a motorcycle—it represents an elite package tailored for true racing enthusiasts.
The Significance of the RSV4 X-GP MotoGP Edition
This limited-edition model marks a milestone for Aprilia, embodying the fusion of racing expertise and high-performance road-legal components. By offering riders a near-MotoGP experience, Aprilia not only celebrates its competitive heritage but also strengthens its connection with passionate enthusiasts. The RSV4 X-GP is expected to become a prized collector’s item and a symbol of innovation in motorcycle engineering.
