2025 Aprilia RSV4 Factory in Dark Kraken The Aprilia RSV4 and RSV4 Factory return for 2025 with updates to their bodywork and a new predictive electronic control management system. The 220-hp, seven-time World Superbike Championship winning motorcycle gets new winglets, new brake calipers, an updated engine, and more.  2025 Aprilia RSV4 in Stingray Blue Aprilia’s focus on updating the RSV4 was to make it more aerodynamic. A highlight of the updated design are the two stacked wing surfaces placed under the headlight. Aprilia claims the new fairing design reduces the drag coefficient by 6% and reduces the tendency to wheelie by 8%. New side panels are integrated with the redesigned tailsection, which includes a lighter rear light cluster. The front brakes have also been upgraded with Brembo’s new Hypure calipers, which are lighter and more advanced than the previous Stylema units, and the triple clamp is now made with lighter aluminum.  Aprilia added new winglets under the headlights, seen here on the RSV4 Factory. The 1,099cc V-Four engine also gets a few changes. Its peak horsepower is increased from 217 to 220 hp at 13,100, and it now meets Euro 5+ regulations. Peak torque is 92.2 at 10,800 rpm. The 2024 RSV4’s 48mm throttle bodies are replaced with 52mm ones, the exhaust system is new, and the catalytic converter has been repositioned to reduce heat felt by the rider.  Also new to the RSV4 and RSV4 Factory is a predictive electronic control management system, which Aprilia claims will process vehicle parameters (speed, lean angle, gear, throttle position, and more) in real time, and it is also said to learn the rider’s style to deliver more precise control. In addition, Aprilia is introducing features as in-app purchases, through which riders can “optimize electronic settings according to their riding style and requirements without needing to visit a dealer.” Other updates for 2025 include a new 5-inch TFT display and new backlit handlebar controls.   Related: Aprilia RSV4 Factory Review  As before, both models come standard with loads of rider aids, including three ride modes, three levels of cornering ABS, eight levels of traction control (with new slide control), three levels of wheelie control, three levels of engine brake, and an up/down quickshifter.  Standard equipment on the RSV4 Factory includes semi-active Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, forged aluminum wheels, and the track-focused Race Dashboard with launch control, a pit-speed limiter and a GPS module. The Factory edition also includes cornering headlights, cruise control, and Aprilia’s MIA multimedia platform for smartphone connection.  2025 Aprilia RSV4 in Poison Yellow The 2025 Aprilia RSV4 will come in Poison Yellow or Stingray Blue.
