Aprilia RSV 4R APRC
Created with the single-minded goal of being simply
the best on the track and on the road, since its inception the Aprilia RSV4 has
astonished the world with its looks, technology and performance. The first 65°
V-4 engine ever in a sports production bike, a chassis worthy of a 250 GP, Ride
By Wire, multimap engine management: all these are accomplished achievements for
the Aprilia RSV4, that tops unique architecture and specs with Aprilia's
signature excellent rideability brought to the next level.
But the improvements to the Aprilia RSV4 APRC do not
stop with electronic management. The 65° V4 engine offers improved lubrication
and closer spaced gears for better acceleration. The new, lighter exhaust
features an advanced butterfly valve management system to suit the Ride By Wire
mapping for improved breathing and efficiency throughout the RPM range.
Improved engine lubrication;
Aprilia ATC is quickly, easily activated from the
instrument panel menu and offers 8 settings. When the ATC is enabled, the rider
can change setting in an instant at any time using a joystick on the left
handlebar to suit track, pavement or tyre conditions, without closing the
throttle and keeping his hands on the handlebar, as in professional motorcycle
racing. This way, the system can adjust to every single bend of any track so as
to meet the specific requirements of any rider, including the most expert ones.
THE MOTORCYCLE
The Aprilia 65° V4 engine specifications in short:
Review We are living times for motorcycle technology, very special. On the one hand we live rescue of small displacements, Built on the bikes easy and basic techniques known and tested, sometimes to the limit of recycling, while at the other extreme we find technologies that evolve at the speed of light in search of ever greater performance.
And there, in the segment of the race replica that come the most important new
techniques, borrowed from the world of racing and coming, year after year, the
bikes that we can buy in the dealership. The RSV4 R, We tried on the track at Estoril now takes the name APRC which represents a significant technical difference compared to the 2010 version, as it means that even the “basic” model the package is installed Aprilia Performance Riding Control. The RSV4 R 2011 also brings with it the other improvements introduced since the RSV4 Factory APRC and then extended to V4 Tuono R. Changes accordingly, the price rising to marketing € 18,000, While the rest of the budget, including color with black competition as opposed to white glam, remains unchanged. As anticipated, the Aprilia has introduced the electronic package APRC at the end of 2010 when it launched the RSV 4 Factory Special Edition version of the already developed RSV 4 Factory performance. The electronics package APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) is, at present, the most advanced management system, dynamic driving available on the market.
It basically consists of four sub-systems that
operate in a coordinated and synergistic: ATC, AWC, ALC and AQS using the
signals received from an inertial platform, with two accelerometers and two
girometri that allow the unit to reconstruct the dynamic conditions of motion
and respond accordingly to the engine control. The pilot can adjust freely and
independently of each system component APRC. Traction control is adjustable on 8 levels, simply by pressing the joystick on the left handlebar to adjust the level of traction control to the track conditions, tires or asphalt.
The AWC is another of the important features
dell’APRC, which is directly derived from competitions. In race, in fact, a
surge can be choreographed, but it wastes time on tour and has imported the
Aprilia Wheel Control on motorcycles. wheelie detection system is able to
“understand” when it starts and ends sharply and acts accordingly to gently pull
the front wheel on the ground. Dell’impennata management is continuous and
“soft”, there are no cuts or sharp shooting of violent power, but only proper
throttle control. The AWC is activated from the dashboard and can be adjusted
independently from other controls three levels of intervention, Thus favoring
the needs of the pilot. The quick change feature of the Aprilia is to work in synergy with other electronic systems and to have response times that vary depending on engine speed and gear.
We tried the new version of the Aprilia RSV4 R on the track of Adria. Although the track Veneto is not ideal to assess properly the dynamics of a motorcycle, Because of its size and design that provides only for the narrow hairpin bends, is useful just to test the new APRC.
Adria, in fact, you find yourself having to fully open the throttle out of
corners, as they are all very slow and you travel on almost all gas closed, and
you can evaluate the action of Traction Control.
The bike is confirmed very sincere and well trimmed, the front end is inserted
into the fold by taking the rope with the decision, but the center curve is not
able to follow the same lines as the sister factory, expanding a little ‘too if
you enter the trajectory determined . Out of the corners the shock absorber does
what it can to keep the Michelin Power 2CT One in contact with the asphalt, but
the wheel is not up to the Factory.
But we all’APRC. The system Made in Aprilia is really effective: already at the
center curve, you can take the gas to hand without the risk that slides back and
focus on the output curve to achieve better acceleration on the straight below.
Quick Shift also gives praise, which, together with the new close-ratio gearbox
with, can earn significant acceleration milliseconds. We repeat, is not a
novelty, but on the track is an invaluable aid to driving. In other words … you have got to put in budget spending of 18,000 euros for a supercar, it might be worth making a few more installments, just get the Factory version. Source motodesign
