“The RSV4 X-GP redefines what a factory-derived motorcycle can be,” Aprilia stated, emphasising its commitment to pushing the limits of innovation and performance.
Designed to celebrate MotoGP heritage
The RSV4 X-GP was created as a tribute to a decade of Aprilia’s MotoGP presence, drawing direct inspiration from the RS-GP prototype. It carries the official MotoGP team livery and incorporates aerodynamic solutions usually reserved for racing machines, such as leg and tail wings for improved downforce and stability.

Technical highlights
Under the fairing, the RSV4 X-GP is powered by a 999 cc V4 engine tuned to deliver a staggering 238 bhp, making it the most powerful RSV4 ever built. The motorcycle weighs just 165 kg, resulting in an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 1.44 bhp/kg, which translates to lightning-fast acceleration and unmatched agility on track.
A structural carbon fibre seat support replaces traditional metal subframes, contributing to reduced weight while improving rigidity. This combination ensures better handling, especially at racing speeds. The inclusion of MotoGP-style aerodynamic components like leg and tail wings, a first for any factory-derived motorcycle, further boosts downforce and precision during cornering.
Below is a look at the specifications of the RSV4 X-GP:
| Specification | Detail |

| Engine Output | 238 bhp |

| Special Features | Leg and tail wings, structural carbon seat support |

The RSV4 X-GP is also the first factory-derived motorcycle in the world to use leg and tail wings, a feature drawn directly from Aprilia’s MotoGP racer. Additionally, the structural carbon seat support reduces overall weight while enhancing rigidity and control, contributing to an unprecedented riding experience.
A milestone for the ‘X’ brand
Since the debut of the first RSV4 X in 2019, Aprilia’s “X” brand has consistently set new standards in the world of factory-derivative motorcycles. The rapid sell-out of the RSV4 X-GP reinforces Aprilia’s stature as a leader in the global high-performance motorcycle segment.
