ENDURO MOTORCYCLE

SUPERMOTO MOTORCYCLE

The Aprilia RXV and SXV have racing in their blood! These direct descendents of
the most revolutionary motorcycles of the millennium are the first ever production
enduro and supermotard powered by a superb, high performance V Twin. Already
proven winners on the racetrack, these technology-packed machines are now
ready to tackle the challenge of the road.

sprocket to be placed further out. This intelligent solution allows racing tyres to be fitted without risking contact with the chain.
