Montmeló, September 5, 2025 – The RSV4 X-GP made its debut at the Catalan Grand Prix. This special edition, built in just 30 units, was born from Aprilia Racing’s cutting-edge MotoGP expertise to mark the tenth anniversary of the
RS-GP’s debut in the premier class of motorcycle racing.
With the RSV4 X-GP, Aprilia Racing further strengthens its exclusive X brand: unique models marked by the “X” (a reference to the Roman numeral for 10), representing the highest standards of technology and performance currently available on a production-based motorcycle.
The RSV4 X-G is an aerodynamic masterpiece, its design directly derived from the RS-GP25. For the first time ever on a production-based motorcycle, it introduces leg wings and tail wings, technologies developed and patented exclusively by Aprilia Racing and seen only a few months ago on the RS-GP25. These innovations add significant downforce during braking and cornering. Completing the aero package are a uniquely shaped front wing, an under wing, and cornering wings.
Equipped with ground-effect aerodynamics, also patented by Aprilia Racing, the RSV4 X-GP features side fairings designed to reduce air pressure between the bike and the asphalt while leaned over, generating downforce that presses the bike firmly to the ground.
The entire fairing is made of carbon fiber by PAN Compositi, using the same processes employed in MotoGP. This construction increases vertical load by five times on the straight, enhancing stability and precision while reducing wheelies, and triples the load in corners, ensuring exceptional grip and feedback.
Another feature taken straight from MotoGP prototypes is the structural carbon-fiber seat support, also crafted by PAN Compositi. It integrates structural, aerodynamic, and design functions in a single element.An additional refinement is the sandwich carbon layup, a special layering technique designed to maximize lightness while preserving rigidity.
This increases rear-tyre feedback, giving the rider a more direct connection to the bike’s behavior.
The RSV4 X-GP is a true MotoGP-style racing machine. Its legendary 65° V4 engine, 1,099 cc with SBK racing specifications, has been tuned by Aprilia Racing’s engineers to produce a staggering 238 hp at 13,750 rpm (revving up to 14,100 rpm) and 131 Nm of torque at 11,750 rpm. These figures are achieved through dedicated tuning, including a higher compression ratio, a Sprint Filter high-permeability racing air filter, dedicated intake trumpets, and a titanium SC Project exhaust system with twin pipes and compensator, along with an STM dry clutch.
