New colours for the smallersports SBKAprilia, complete with'33 'Marco Melandri decals.The price unchanged from the base version After having announced a month ago the new RS4 50Replica, Apriliahas come a 'full circle'of its sport modelsdedicated to youth with the confirmation of 125 ccvariant - faithfullyinspired by the Aprilia RSV4 SBK 2014 with which Marco Melandri andSylvain Guintolidefending the colorsof Apriliain World Superbike. As for the engines,the single-cylinder50 cc ofthe 50 Replica RS4is a two-strokeliquid-cooled motor with valve induction, separate lubrication mixing anda six-speed gearbox.The RS4125 Replicais driven by asingle cylinder 125 cc, 4-stroke,4-valve, electronic injection and liquid cooled, withdistribution todouble overhead camshaft(DOHC). Extensive aerodynamic studies have minimised surface areas without compromising wind protection, and the fairings showcase the superlative mechanicals of the Aprilia RS4 50 and Aprilia RS4 125 rather than conceal them. As a result, the frame and engine are not hidden away but proudly flaunted as fundamental elements of the design of Aprilia's new small supersports models. With the triple headlight, the Aprilia RS4 bikes have a decidedly aggressive look that lends a unique character to the entire front end. The LED taillight merges stunningly into the ultra-compact tail fairing and offers excellent luminosity. The fairing, product of extensive wind tunnel testing and race experience, offers excellent wind protection together with superb aerodynamic efficiency. And as well as contributing to the extremely aggressive looks of the bike, the top fairing and tail fairing also maximise performance in terms of speed. On Aprilia RS4 125, one additional detail underscores the level of sophistication of the bike: the exhaust, which is unmistakably inspired by competition machines, is completely integrated within the lower part of the fairing. A solution that is not just visually effective, but which also contributes significantly to the dynamics of the bike by helping to centralise masses. With the new RS4 50 and RS4 125, Aprilia confirms its global leadership in the small capacity sports and young-targeted bike segment, creating models that exceed the expectations of even the most discerning rider. The sophisticated chassis architecture of the Aprilia RS4 50 and RS4 125 is complemented by state of the art engines. The single cylinder 50 cc unit developed by Aprilia for the RS4 50 is a water cooled two-stroke with reed valve induction. The lubrication uses a separate mixing system with a variable capacity volumetric pump. The six speed gearbox lets the rider make full use of the performance of this class beating engine. With a six speed gearbox allowing the rider to make full use of the power available in all conditions, the Aprilia RS4 125 offers unbeatable performance in its class not just in terms of absolute power at high engine speeds, but also in terms of usable power band, minimised vibration and outstanding mechanical reliability.
