The RF1100 model sees the addition of new pistons, a longer stroke and a new engine map co-developed by Magneti Marelli to limit the engine to 13\u00a0600 rpm. Also forming part of the new range is the RSV4 RR which receives its motivation from a 1.0-litre engine, limited to 13\u00a0000 rpm and able to produce 149 kW. The new V4 monobloc crankcase engine comes with integrated aluminium cylinder liners and lightweight pistons. The while the RSV4 RR come with unique engine mapping, both derivatives see the inclusion of the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) electronics package. The system includes adjustable traction control and wheelie control with three levels.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-374494\" src=\"https:\/\/randburgsun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/05-rsv4-1100-factory-max-biaggi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe RSV4 was designed to be the absolute best and fastest superbike in its class and is the closest production bike to Aprilia Racing bikes. The latest versions, which we will feature in our showroom soon, offers the most advanced development of the RSV4 racing frame and suspension and includes a new advanced electronic controls package,\u201d Ian Huntly, CEO, Italian Motorcycle Importers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the RSV4, IMI will soon have the award-winning Tuono V4 on offer locally. Although you will be able to choose between an RR or RF derivative, both will come fitted with a revised version of RSV4 V4 1.1-litre engine. While the Tuono only produce 129 kW and develop 121 N.m of torque, the latest iteration will come fitted with Brembo brakes, \u00d6hlins electronic suspension and a version of Aprilia\u2019s APRC system, which includes traction control, wheelie control and launch control.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-374495\" src=\"https:\/\/randburgsun.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/09-tuono-v4-1100-factory-static-trentino-30-04-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"681\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the Tuono is, on the face of it, not as single-minded as the RSV4, it remains a true Aprilia.
