Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced, skilled riders who have mastered smoother, less powerful bikes and understand how to manage explosive power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily for track days and aggressive canyon carving, where its race-derived chassis and 201 hp V4 engine can be fully exploited.
Rider FitDemands a fit rider comfortable with an aggressive forward-leaning riding position, high footpegs, and significant wrist and wrist-and-core loading during hard riding.
CharacterA razor-sharp, uncompromising superbike that rewards precision and commitment with world-class speed and cornering ability.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone planning long-distance touring or two-up passenger travel.

2015 Aprilia RSV4 RR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Aprilia RSV4 RR, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
