Aprilia Factory range: new graphic variants
- FOR 2026, THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS VERSIONS OF THE APRILIA SPORTS BIKES MAKE THEIR DÉBUT, WITH BOLD NEW GRAPHICS THAT DRAW ATTENTION TO THEIR ADVANCED AERODYNAMIC SOLUTIONS.
- THE TECHNICAL FEATURES THAT ENABLE EACH APRILIA FACTORY BIKE TO OFFER THE BEST PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CATEGORIES REMAIN UNCHANGED.
The Aprilia Factory family, which is comprised of the most prestigious versions of the magnificent V4, RSV4 and Tuono V4 bikes on the one hand and the leading mid-range models in the category – the RS 660 and Tuono 660 – on the other, both of which have recently undergone a complete technical overhaul, is set to be launched with new, eye-catching graphics for 2026.
Aerodynamic flow is the theme that unites the new Aprilia Factory graphics, and indeed, Aprilia is at the forefront of research into aerodynamic solutions designed to boost performance and comfort. The RSV4 was the first mass-produced superbike to feature aerodynamic appendages (on the 2018 RSV4 RF LE), and this technology has evolved continuously since, leading to the version we see today, which is one of the most advanced ever: the current appendages boost stability on straights and improve precision when cornering, thus enabling riders to exploit the full 220 hp of the bike. The RS 660, meanwhile, was the first mid-range sports bike to introduce double-walled fairings, which deflect hot air from the engine away from the rider whilst delivering stability and protection while in the saddle.
The new graphics are designed to enhance the design of the Aprilia fairings and their respective Tuono versions: a real tribute to the aerodynamics-focused research culture in Noale. Both the Shakedown Indigo graphics of the Aprilia V4 and the Shakedown Yellow graphics of the two Aprilia 660s boast two different perspectives. The first of these features arrows that extend along the sides of the bike, echoing the hot air flows emitted from the engine which peter out towards the tail; the second theme, meanwhile, features lines that evoke the air flow indicators used in wind tunnel tests or CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. The intersection of these designs, with their varying shapes and thicknesses, paired with the glossy and matte finishes, creates optical illusions which appear to show three levels of depth – a degree of complexity that has never been seen before on a mass-produced bike.
The colours selected for the RSV4 and Tuono V4 Factory are purple, white and red: a nod to Aprilia tradition, these shades were first used on racing bikes in the 1990s, most recently on the extraordinary RSV4 XTrenta. The RS 660 and Tuono 660 Factory, meanwhile, stand out with their bold yellow colour, which made its début on the first RS 660, and has since been reinterpreted in a more modern shade.
2026 Aprilia RSV4 Factory Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
OUTSTANDING
From the race track to you
The Aprilia RSV4 Factory channels MotoGP expertise from the Racing Department to deliver an unprecedented riding experience. Its aerodynamics, perfected in the wind tunnel, feature integrated winglets and aero surfaces on the fairing, under the windscreen and on the tail section. These elements increase downforce, enhance grip and ensure precise, controlled cornering in every lean. The iconic twin-spar aluminium frame, renowned for its lightweight and rigidity, works in harmony with the MotoGP-derived inverted-brace swingarm to provide total control. The Factory version further elevates performance with Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension and a Brembo braking system with Hypure callipers.
RECORD POWER

Aprilia MIA, included as standard on the RSV4 Factory, connects the bike to your smartphone, not only allowing seamless management of notifications, calls, music and navigation but also enhancing the full capabilities of the advanced a-PRC electronics suite.
Factory livery
There is one name that signifies absolute excellence: Factory. Bikes bearing this signature represent the peak of the Noale team’s expertise, and the RSV4 Factory is its purest, most aggressive expression. This is immediately evident in the Dark Kraken livery, a striking mix of glossy and matte finishes that accentuate its sharp, dynamic lines and is inspired by nature’s most formidable predators such as the great white shark whose countershading effect creates a striking contrast. Dark and menacing along the sides, explosive and packed with contrast on top, the RSV4 Factory is always ready to attack.
Optimised ergonomics
The RSV4 Factory enhances the connection between rider and bike, offering total control even on the most adrenalin-inducing occasions. Smart ergonomics create the perfect track riding position while the aerodynamics reduce turbulence and create outstanding stability even at top speed. The enjoyment factor is further increased courtesy of fine-tuned fans that optimise airflow extraction, directing heat away to reduce the rider’s perceived temperature. Want even more? Customise your Aprilia RSV4 Factory with official accessories and keep setting new PBs.
Öhlins semi-active suspension
Maximum precision is achieved with the premium Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension package, which is fully adjustable. It includes an inverted fork with TiN coating and 125-mm wheel travel, a rear monoshock with 115-mm wheel travel and a steering damper. Every setting can be fine-tuned via the Suspension Pack, which utilises ADC (Aprilia Damping Control) to customise compression, rebound, braking support, acceleration response and cornering stability – either manually or in active mode. The ADC system integrates in synch with the riding modes and Corner By Corner function via the Aprilia MIA multimedia platform (which comes as standard), ensuring a perfect setup in any situation.
V4 engine
The adrenaline-fueled ride of the RSV4 Factory is powered by the legendary 65° V4 engine, now Euro 5+ compliant, making it the most powerful street-legal superbike on the market. With a 1099-cc displacement, 52-mm throttle bodies ensure an always-responsive throttle, reaching a peak output of 220 hp at 13000 rpm and 127 Nm of torque at 10800 rpm – unprecedented in its class.
