Intro

The Aprilia RSV4 X-GP is a celebration of Aprilia Racing’s MotoGP decade, with prototype-level aerodynamics and a tuned 1,099 cc V4 in a 30-unit, track-only collectible for serious riders and collectors – that’s why it matters. Limited to 30 bikes globally and unveiled at the Catalunya GP, it’s the most extreme RSV4 yet from Factory Works, with power and aero figures that read like a race sheet.

MotoGP DNA, track only

Built by Aprilia Racing’s Factory Works, the RSV4 X-GP takes the RS-GP25 with leg wings, tail wings and ground-effect side fairings that increase vertical load up to 5 times on the straight and triple it at lean for grip and stability. The carbon bodywork by PAN Compositi is like MotoGP, while the APX ECU has race-grade adjustability and data logging out of the box.

Engine and hardware highlights

The 65° V4, 1,099 cc engine is tuned to 238 hp and 131 Nm, spinning to 14,100 rpm with intake, Sprint Filter, increased compression, STM dry clutch, SC-Project titanium twin-pipe exhaust – serious race spec kit. Aprilia quotes a weight of about 165 kg, with forged magnesium wheels and Öhlins race developed suspension to keep it sharp where it counts.

Limited edition, collector appeal

Just 30 units will be built, each with RS-GP25 livery and delivered as a Factory Works package that’s as close as it gets to a MotoGP experience without a garage pass. Price is around €90,000 before tax in enthusiast reports, so it’s a connoisseur’s track weapon and future collectible.

Why it matters for Aprilia Factory Works

For Aprilia, the RSV4 X-GP is the most extreme aero-to-chassis transfer in the “X” lineage (RSV4 X, Tuono X, RSV4 X Trenta, RSV4 X ex3ma) and tightens the loop between MotoGP R&D and customer race bikes. It’s part of an ongoing strategy: ultra-limited, high-tech runs that reinforce the brand’s engineering credibility while stoking collector demand.

Closing note

As a track-only halo with real MotoGP aero, the RSV4 X-GP is for dedicated track riders and collectors; allocation speed – not lap time – may be the first hurdle.

FAQs
