A Compact Powerhouse

This characteristic ensures that every rider experiences the precision and control that defines Aprilia
motorcycles.

This adaptability ensures that riders can tailor their experience to their skill level and riding conditions.
Ready for the Track
Beyond street riding, the RS 457 is primed for track use. Lorenzo emphasized the bike’s racing potential, noting that Aprilia Racing offers a special kit that transforms the RS 457 into a racing bike, including a fairing, ECU, air filter, and switch buttons.
The Aprilia RS 457 stands as a testament to innovation, performance, and the brand’s racing
heritage. With its dynamic capabilities and advanced technology, it is poised to become a favorite
