Aprilia decided to give the RSV4 R the APRC treatment which debuted last Autumn at the EICMA show in form of the RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition. This means the RSV4 R APRC SE will be equipped with an 8-stage adjustable traction control, wheelie control, launch control, and a quick shifter. Along with these high-tech electronics, the bike also features an improved motor lubrication system and recalibrated gearbox for better acceleration. The exhaust system has also been lightened (minus 2kg or 5 lbs).

The APRC package will cost you $1,000 extra, which isn’t much considering the Special Edition has an improved fuel milegae.
The APRC package includes:
- Aprilia Traction Control (ATC) – the most advanced traction control system on the market. It’s the only motorcycle TC system that can be adjusted on the move instantly without shutting the throttleand automatically adjusts to suit if you change your tyres. Features 8 level settings, so you can turn it down for track use or up for wet road riding on the go.
- Aprilia Wheelie Control (AWC) – Identifies the start of wheelie and controls it to maximise acceleration whilst keeping the front end down. Features 3 settings.
- Aprilia Launch Control (ALC) – Optimises acceleration from a standing start. For track/race use, with 3 settings.
- Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS) – for ultra-fast clutchless up-shifting.
