Rider Profile

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

2017 Aprilia RSV4 RR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2017 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.
