The preliminary brochure of the Aprilia RS
660 has been revealed. The 5-page document contains information about the key
features of the upcoming middleweight supersport bike.
In the preliminary brochure, Aprilia talks
about the all-new technical base the RS 660 is built upon. The Italian brand
also hints that it will use the new base for more middleweight motorcycles. The
Aprilia RS 660 mounts a 660 cc parallel-twin engine which makes 100 horsepower.
With the use of the right materials, Aprilia has managed to keep the weight of
the bike at just 169 kg (dry). This means that the RS 660 has a phenomenal
power to weight ratio and should be extremely fun to ride.
The Italian marque has also shed some
light on the RS 660’s design which is characterised by a triple LED headlamp
assembly with perimeter LED DRLs. We have to hand it to Aprilia in the design
aspect because the 3-light headlamp setup is something that only it could pull
off with such precision and beauty. Most of Aprilia’s products flaunt this
unique styling, even the upcoming Aprilia SXR 160 maxi-scooter.
The Aprilia RS 660 preliminary brochure
also has details regarding the bike’s electronics. It comes armed with the
latest generation APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package that includes
traction control, wheelie control, cruise control, engine brake, engine map and
more such features.
The tempting Aprilia RS 660 will be
available in two colours - a Purple/Red colour option that signifies Aprilia’s
history and sports heritage, and a Total Black colour option that highlights
many brilliant red details of the motorcycle.
