Aprilia RS 250SP

.  

This Aprilia RS 250 SP is a purpose-built race bike which Aprilia aims to find the next grand prix superstar. The bike is the result of a collaboration between Aprilia and Ohvale.

The go-fast bits are brakes by Brembo, suspension by Öhlins, and a rowdy exhaust by SC-Project. The 17-inch Marchesini wheels will mount Pirelli rubber. The engine is sourced from Aprilia, while Ohvale will be in charge of production.

The Aprilia RS 250 SP will be the star of the Italian FMI Aprilia Sport Production Championship. The single-make series will run through six rounds in 2020, and Aprilia hopes to find the next Capirossi, Biaggi or Rossi.

“The new championship takes up a tradition that makes Aprilia unique, a brand that has taken generations of young people onto the track and that has raised up great champions,” said Massimo Rivola, CEO of Aprilia Racing.

“From 2020, thanks to the partnership with the Federation, we will once again be providing fun for young people who, in this championship, will find a way to make their dreams come true and perhaps, this is our wish, the start of a path in the world of competitive motorcycling.”

“This is why we have designed an easy bike and formula that will attract the highest number of young people to competitive motorcycling.”
