| THE FIRST AND ONLY BIKE IN THE WORLD AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET WITH CARBON-CARBON BRAKES CAPTURES THE MARKET: ALL 30 APRILIA X 250TH UNITS SOLD IN RECORD TIME |
| Unveiled at the United States Grand Prix on March 27, the Aprilia X 250TH achieved immediate success, with all 30 units sold out in just 14 days. A result that confirms and replicates the success already achieved by its predecessor, the Aprilia RSV4 X-GP, which also sold out within the same timeframe. This limited-edition bike, featuring the striking “Stars and Stripes” livery inspired by the American flag, was created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Aprilia X 250TH represents a direct link to MotoGP. In fact, it is the first and only bike on the market in the world fitted with carbon-carbon brakes, the same ones used in the top class. This special edition was born from the cutting-edge technological excellence developed in MotoGP; it enables braking performance and feel comparable to that of the Aprilia RS-GP machines ridden by Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín. Furthermore, on the aerodynamics front, the latest-generation MotoGP-derived seat wings have been updated, confirming the vocation of the “X” brand as the most advanced point of connection between production-derived bikes and racing prototypes. During the presentation weekend at COTA, booking requests were already very high, highlighting the strong appeal of a unique project that, since its debut in 2019 with the first X, has redefined the concept of limited-edition production-derived motorcycles. The media impact was also outstanding: the Aprilia X 250TH achieved strong visibility across social media and the international press, generating a high volume of publications and interactions worldwide. With this new sell-out, the success of the X series is further consolidated. It is the sixth generation of a unique global project launched in 2019 with the RSV4 X, followed in 2020 by the Tuono X, in 2022 by the RSV4 X Trenta, in 2024 by the RSV4 X ex3ma, and in 2025 by the RSV4 X-GP. These extraordinary models, distinguished by the “X”, represent the highest achievable level of technology and performance available on a production-derived bike sold to the general public.
