dedicated racing exhaust reduces weight and boosts power over the
entire rev range, especially at low revs. The kit has been developed
primarily for use in extreme racing, the most challenging of all enduro
specialities though Aprilia’s official riders have already used it in
conventional enduro competitions too. Now the kit is available for all
enduro fans who really want to get the most out of their RXV.

OFFROAD REVOLUTION
THE APRILIA RXV AND SXV HAVE RACING IN THE BLOOD! THESE DIRECT DESCENDENTS
OF THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY MOTORCYCLES OF THE MILLENNIUM ARE THE FIRST EVER
PRODUCTIONENDUROANDSUPERMOTARDPOWEREDBYASUPERB,HIGH PERFORMANCE
V TWIN. ALREADY PROVEN WINNERS ON THE RACETRACK, THESE TECHNOLOGY-PACKED
MACHINES ARE NOW READY TO TACKLE ANY CHALLENGE YOU CAN THROW AT THEM.
THE V2 ENGINE
The amazing V2 engine, and the more powerful 55.2 version, is the natural centrepiece of the RXV and SXV. Aprilia was the first manufacturer in the world to believe in
the potential of V twin engines in a market segment where nobody has ever had the courage to try. Impressive results in top level racing in 2005 and 2006 have shown
that Aprilia was right. This exceptional engine (made entirely by Aprilia) has now been transferred to Aprilia production motorcycles. Totally reliable on the racetrack, the
V2 engine has not been deprived of any of its technology or performance by homologation for road use. Engine development also proceeded hand in hand with chassis
development from the word go, to ensure that these bikes handle and perform as totally integrated machines
The 77° V angle between the cylinders is the result of innumerable tests aimed at maximising performance and minimising vibrations. The new engine vibrates far less
than any single without even requiring a balancer shaft. The cylinders are integrated in the crankcase and are lined by replaceable wet sleeves. The intelligent design
of the V2 has also permitted engine accessories to be arranged in an extremely rational way, keeping the powerplant as compact as possible. The results are amazing:
Aprilia’s V twin is one of the most compact in the world, smaller than many singles of similar displacement. Design solutions were specially selected for maximum power
and a wide power band. Sophisticated electronic engine management, developed by Aprilia Racing, introduces a number of innovations for this type of motorcycle.
Reduced displacement per cylinder has permitted use of an extremely compact and lightweight
single-piece crankshaft. The engine responds instantly to throttle input, making the whole bike
faster and more agile.
Valve gear based on a single overhead cam and four titanium valves per cylinder gives the best
possible compromise between compactness, light weight and performance.
Thanks to its advanced technology the V2 engine is extremely civilised and silent running. And
on an Aprilia, technology means reliability as well as performance.
The V2 engine sets new standards in this direction, and also guarantees beautifully easy access
to all parts requiring regular service like plugs, oil filter and air filter. The RXV and SXV also
boast far longer than average service intervals.
The same sort of effort has gone into weight reduction. The engine sets a new record for a V
twin, even with its starter motor fitted! This has been achieved by an abundant use of super-
lightweight prestige materials. The central crankcase sections, for example, are made from
aluminium silicon alloy. All covers are in magnesium; the valves are in titanium; and the entire
gear train has been made lighter than ever before.

TECHNOLOGY = DESIGN
On the SXV, your gaze is inevitably attracted to superb technology in the form of its V2 engine, mixed trellis and aluminium frame, and sculptured
swingarm. The design of the tail and rear side panels abandons traditional enduro styling and is totally innovative, just like the centrally mounted
exhaust system with twin tail pipes under the rear mudguard. In fact, innovative design solutions catch your eye whichever way you look at the
RSV and SXV, and Aprilia Racing colours confirm that these bikes are born to compete. And as always with Aprilia, good looks are just the outward shell
of ingenious design solutions. The fixed air guides for example, allow the fuel tank to pivot upwards, giving easy access to the filter box.
PRIMARY DRIVE
Spur gears. Transmission ratio: 22/56.
FINAL DRIVE
Chain. Transmission ratio: 15/48 (16/46).
BRAKES
The unrivalled technology and performance
of the chassis are supported by a fantastic
braking system.
• The brakes on the SXV are designed for sheer
power and feature a 320 mm floating disc with a
radial caliper for GP-level braking performance.
• The 240 mm rear disc and single piston caliper
provide the perfect balance between stopping power
and ease of control.
