The highly-anticipated 2021 Aprilia RS 660 is heading to Malaysia soon after making wave worldwide since its launch last year.
We understand that the all-new motorcycle will arrive sometime between March and April this year after doing some digging. However, what catches our attention is that at a promotional price of RM6X, XXX is expected to be introduced.
The motorcycle was due to launch last year. However, due to the ongoing pandemic Covid-19, it had to be postponed to 2021.
Focused on delivering a more exciting riding pleasure into the rider’s everyday life, the RS 660 comes fitted with 659cc twin-cylinder engine (parallel-twin) that produces a very respectable 100hp at 10,500rpm and 67Nm at 8,500rpm. This is further amplified thanks to its dry weight of only 169kg.
Controlling all this power was tasked to its Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) electronics suite, which consists of an advanced inertial six-axis navigation system similar to the one found on the RSV4.
The APRC includes traction control, wheelie control, quickshifter, cruise control, engine braking and mapping, and adjustable ABS.
Other notable features include:
- Ride-by-Wire engine management
- Six-speed manual transmission with Aprilia Quick Shift (AQS) up and down
- Five riding modes (Road and Track, three fixed and two customisable)
- Front KYB 41mm stanchion fork (preload & rebound adjustable)
- Rear aluminium asymmetric swingarm with adjustable monoshock
- Dual 320mm front disc brakes with Brembo radial callipers
- Single 220mm rear disc + more
