THE APRILIA RACING TEAM USES ITS expertise IN THE high WORLD COMPETITIONS to form THE NEW "FACTORY WORKS" VERSIONS OF THE AWARD WINNING APRILIA RSV4

AN EXTRAORDINARY vary OF "SPECIAL" HIGH PERFORMANCE BIKES made AND sold-out DIRECTLY BY APRILIA athletics: THE RACING DIVISION WITH fifty four WORLD TITLES will offer FIRST-HAND help

The Aprilia RSV4 has the ultimate athletics history for one production-derived model.

This extraordinary 1000cc Italian V4 has won 7 titles in the Superbike World Championship from 2009 to nowadays, besides winning the Rider and Manufacturers titles for the FIM Cup Superstock one thousand, in 2015.

An exceptional athletics career that stems from technical leadership, the model has consistently tried its value as it keeps winning comparative trials unionized by the world's high bike magazines.

Aprilia Racing, the Racing Division that has attained the Noale-based manufacturer fifty four World Titles, introduced a program today to build a similar technology that was developed for the championship winning bike out there to associate degreeyone World Health Organization desires to vie in plant by-product championships or World Health Organization needs an RSV4 with racecourse optimised performance.

Romano Albesiano, Aprilia Racing Director comments on this extraordinary project by the athletics division in Noale: "The RSV4 athletics versions we tend to ar presenting at EICMA ar, first and foremost, a unique chance that Aprilia athletics is creating out there to people who need to possess a true race bike. At the Aprilia Racing Division we tend to worked to pack all the ability behind the RSV4 into these exceptional bikes: ability that has created the RSV4 one of the highest winning bikes within the history of production-derived bikes. The SSTK Championship victory this year is associate degree addition to seven world titles we've won in the SBK. Now all the expertise we tend to have nonheritable through these victories is out there to World Health Organizationever needs to race with our bike: each people who need to participate in championships and people who need to ride a true Aprilia athletics bike on the racecourse. We're making many levels of sophistication out there. This is a racetrack optimised RSV4, from the SSTK version (in every method the bike that dominated the Superstock one thousand FIM Cup) all the method to the highest, a full-fledged Superbike".

Introduced on the market in 2007, the Aprilia Shiver 750 astonished the motorbike world for its unprecedented  contents. The Shiver 750 was in fact the primary bike ever to be equipped with the Ride by Wire electronic throttle, a true revolution, a true historic transition as that from the analogue to the digital world. This technology, still unmatched by the direct competition, complements the wonderful customary instrumentality that makes the Shiver “best in class”. Of course the Shiver 750 has evolved over time: Ride by Wire has become second generation, the ergonomics have been improved, with new handlebars and a tapered saddle, while a slight cosmetic facelift has created it even additional appealing.

Experts have continually acknowledged that Aprilia bikes have the best chassis in their category.

The Aprilia Shiver 750 is concrete confirmation that once again Aprilia has managed to form a chassis that is each very simple and intuitive and improbably high performance. The frame exploits all the knowledge Aprilia has gained in athletics and additionally attracts on new studies on mixed structures with the futurist RXV and SXV, already winners of a number of titles on the track. The top a part of the hollow steel trellis is connected to giant facet plates by suggests that of special high strength bolts.

This creates an very rigid light-weight frame, the best solution to harness all the H.P. of the Aprilia V90.

Creation of an Aprilia bike continually involves action between chassis and engine engineers.

The fundamental style decisions for the V90 engine LED to construction of a extremely rational and economical frame. The reduced longitudinal dimensions of the engine made it attainable to get a brief, agile bike, helped by the particular facet positioning of the shock, not a simple cosmetic mannerism, but a precise technical call that created valuable area for the exhaust manifolds whose form and size are label dead to confirm most engine potency. This enabled the optimum exhaust manifold configuration to be obtained, while not too heavily touching the length of the bike and without exposing the shock absorbent, a fundamental component for the ride, to heat stress.

The aluminum swingarm with reinforcement truss has been sized specifically to support the asymmetrical stresses caused by lateral positioning of the shock absorbent. The rigidity of the swingarm sets new standards for the class.

Sardinia, Italy—When I first saw the Caponord at the EICMA show, I quickly dismissed it as a smart, full-dress evolution of the Aprilia Dorsoduro, a bike conceived to snatch a slice of the growing adventure-touring pie from the iconic BMW R1200GS. However, after riding the Aprilia Caponord 1200 on some secluded and twisty roads on Sardinia, I must apologize to the Aprilia technical team: The new Caponord is actually a smartly conceived and very efficient street-biased adventure-tourer that only looks inspired by the Dorsoduro when seen from afar.
In reality, it’s a completely new bike. The test ride, on roads soaked by a strong storm, underscored the efficiency of the Caponord, which has the most advanced electronic suite ever installed on a bike, aiding rider safety, comfort and pleasure. The following is a list of the electronic systems on the bike, which reveals the company’s leadership in this domain:
RBW: The ride-by-wire electronic throttle control has three selectable responses—Touring, Sport, Rain.
2014 Aprilia Caponord 1200 - front wheel
ABS: A double-channel system from Continental individually manages the latest Brembo radial-mount, monoblock calipers and twin 320mm front disc brakes, plus the floating single-piston rear with 240mm rotor. The ABS is integrated with the ATC system, but can be switched off independently.
ATC: Aprilia Traction Control, likely the most advanced and effective today, has three settings: Level 1, for a pure sport-riding experience; Level 2, for everyday use in the city and in touring; and Level 3, for enhanced safety on low-grip surfaces. ATC can be switched off, and is capable of self-calibrating when fundamental components of the rolling gear, such as tires, are changed.
ACC: Aprilia Cruise Control is part of the Travel Pack, the grand touring Caponord.
ADD: Aprilia Dynamic Damping goes well beyond the ESA-type adjustable suspensions operated via a handlebar-mounted switch. The Sachs suspension units, front fork and cantilevered rear shock, have damping managed by a dedicated ECU with proprietary Aprilia software and related actuators. They essentially “read” the riding conditions and riding style via specific sensors. Skyhook, from the automotive world, handles the low-frequency loads, whereas an acceleration-driven system handles the high-frequency loads. Together, the two systems ensure higher comfort and superior dynamic performance. Since neither can modify the spring load, they are considered semi-active, not fully active. The rear shock absorber, however, can modify its spring preload based on signals coming from a sensor monitoring the angle of the swingarm in relation to a fixed point on the frame. This active system resets the correct angle by preloading the shock absorber spring, via a step motor, on the basis of four pre-set mappings (rider only, rider with passenger, rider with panniers, rider and passenger with panniers).
Stepping away from the electronics and into the world of internal combustion, the Aprilia 1200 90-degree V-Twin has been retuned to 125 hp at 8250 rpm RPM, which is down a bit from the Dorsoduro’s 130 hp at 8700 rpm, but has a broader torque curve. Peak torque now is 84.4 ft.-lb. at 6800 rpm, instead of the Dorsoduro’s 84.9 at 7200 rpm. The engine has undergone extensive modifications, beginning with 52mm throttle bodies in place of the 57mm units of the Dorsoduro engine. To improve flexibility and smoothness of response, two injectors are fitted to each throttle body, and an oxygen sensor is included downstream in each exhaust port for a perfect calibration of the injection as well as reduced fuel consumption and lower exhaust emissions. A 690-watt alternator supports all the complex electronics and the rest of the electrical components, including the new and more powerful lighting system and the optional heated grips.

Fluo Red -or- Matte White The Dorsoduro is sort of just a Super-Motard version of the Shiver. So it’s basically a Shiver with longer, softer suspension and more of a dirt bike riding position. Like the Shiver but want something edgier? The Dorsoduro is sort of just a Super-Motard version of the Shiver. So it’s basically a Shiver with longer, softer suspension and more of a dirt bike riding position. I don’t know why but when I get on a Dorsoduro, I immediately feel like I want to do something illegal, like go down those steps or ride over that Volkswagon. But seriously, it’s definitely a bike to give you a thrill immediately out of the garage.
Call it your urban assault vehicle. Yet it can be ridden long distance. A couple years ago one of our customers rode his to Montery, California and back. Like the Shiver, the Dorsoduro’s V-twin engine produces a strong, wide, & flexible powerband. And it’s no slouch with 92 peak horsepower at the crank. It’s got a slightly lower peak than the Shiver but more low-end response, plus it’s geared a bit lower.

Both bikes are very responsive due to their ride-by-wire fuel injection system. This means that when you turn the throttle, you’re giving an input to the computer, which makes decisions based on your twist. Conventional fuel injection merely opens the throttle(s), leaving various sensors to react. Naturally then, ride-by-wire is more responsive. Too fancy? It does have an airplane-inspired redundant backup system. And it’s been very reliable. What if you don’t want more responsive? You get to choose 3 levels (called rain, tour, & sport) at the push of a button. Sport is a bit jumpy in stop & go traffic, so most choose tour around town. And we once had a fellow do a test ride a week after getting his motorcycle endorsement, having never owned a bike; he chose rain mode. Ride-by-wire also means less maintenance: you never have to synchronize the throttle bodies (OK, you really can’t manually at all!).

And speaking of maintenance, this is no Italian nightmare. It’s water cooled and the dual overhead cams per cylinder are driven by chains with self-adjusting tensioners. There are no fragile belts that require frequent replacement and manual adjustment. The valves are supposed to be checked for adjustment every 12,000 miles, but this hardly seems necessary, as we’ve never seen a valve out of adjustment on an Aprilia 750 engine. Heck, the oil & filter are only supposed to be renewed every 12,000 miles in normal use; we’d suggest more often with lots of short trips around town in our cool climate. The filter’s cheap & easy to access, as are the fill & drain plugs, and there’s a sight window for oil level.

 The Dorsoduro comes with a sealed battery for long life and a 450-watt charging system capable of powering electronic accessories, such as hot grips. We also carry the full line of Powerlet products to add power ports for anything from cell phones to GPS and heated gear. Other popular accessories include passenger hand rails, soft saddlebags, luggage rack, and even a hard trunk. The factory warranty is two years with unlimited miles. And the Dorsoduro has been very reliable model. Brakes and suspension are “sporty standard” as opposed to a harder-edged “sport naked” like the Tuono V4. And the Dorsoduro has some deluxe appointments, such as radially-mounted 4-piston dual front disc brakes, adjustable single-shock rear suspension, upside-down adjustable front forks, adjustable hand levers, hydraulic clutch, and stainless steel brake hoses.

The original US Dorsoduro in 2009 was a 750. In 2011 we got a 1200 that certainly had more power but kind of lost the good feel of balance between power and weight. For 2014 we got just the 750 back, this time with ABS brakes added, but the price stays the same as it was for the non-ABS 750. The 1200 engine is still used in the European big Dorsoduro and we’ll see it back in the new Capo Nord adventure touring bike.
