Aprilia has introduced its 2024 big bike portfolio in India, showcasing the flagship RSV4 Factory, RS660, Tuono 660, and Tuareg 660. These models will be offered as CBUs and will be exclusively available through Aprilia's Motoplex dealerships.
With a starting price of ₹31.26 lakh, the RSV4 Factory stands as the flagship model. Known for its dominance on global race tracks, including numerous victories in the WSBK series, this superbike is powered by a 1099cc V4 engine, delivering 214 bhp and 125 Nm of torque through a 6-speed gearbox.
The RSV4 Factory also features high-end components, including electronic Ohlins front forks, an Ohlins rear mono-shock, Brembo monobloc callipers, a quick-shifter, and a comprehensive suite of electronic aids to manage its power. Despite this, it weighs just 202kg.
Priced at ₹17.74 lakh and ₹17.44, the RS660 and Tuono 660 are middleweight motorcycles, offering a scaled-down experience inspired by the flagship RSV4 and its naked counterpart, the Tuono. While the RS660 has a full fairing, the Tuono sports a half fairing. Both bikes share the same underpinnings and similar components.
The 660 models feature a twin-cylinder engine, differing from the larger litre-class V4 engine. Both the RS660 and Tuono 660 are equipped with a 659cc twin-cylinder engine. The RS660 delivers 98.5 bhp and 67 Nm of torque, while the Tuono 660 produces 94 bhp. Both bikes come with a 6-speed gearbox, but the RS660 also includes a bidirectional quick-shifter.
Similarly, the Aprilia Tuareg utilises the same 659cc twin-cylinder engine as the RS 660 and Tuono 660 but is adjusted for its purpose. It generates 80 bhp and 70 Nm of peak torque with a 6-speed gearbox, weighing 204kg. The Tuareg is available starting at ₹18.85 lakh.
