Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-strung superbike best suited to experienced or expert riders comfortable with explosive power delivery and aggressive geometry.
PurposeBuilt primarily for track days and high-performance cornering, with road use very much a secondary consideration.
Rider FitDemands a fit, committed rider due to its low, forward-leaning riding position, high footpegs, and firm suspension.
CharacterA raw, race-bred V4 superbike that rewards precision and commitment with blistering acceleration and razor-sharp handling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, commuters, or anyone wanting a relaxed, comfortable, or passenger-friendly motorcycle.

2014 Aprilia RSV4 R APRC ABS 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 2014 Aprilia RSV4 R APRC ABS, 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.
