Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica at EICMA 2025
Quelle: AUTOMOTOTV (Glomex)
A special edition of the renowned RS 457 – the most coveted sports bike among young riders – featuring upgraded equipment and graphics inspired by the RS-GP competing in MotoGP. The RS 457 GP Replica offers even better performance in sporty riding, thanks to the quick shifter that enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts – just like on racing bikes – and the higher-friction front brake pads for more powerful braking. A single-seater cover for the passenger seat and a new black finish for the aluminium frame, swingarm, and upper steering yoke complete the exclusive setup of the RS 457 GP Replica. The GP Replica livery is a clear tribute to the RS-GP competing in the MotoGP World Championship, featuring a mix of glossy and matte black finishes and the same sponsor graphics as Aprilia Racing’s prototype machine. The technical features behind the RS 457’s worldwide success remain unchanged – its key strengths include light weight, agility and a comprehensive range of equipment. It is powered by a liquid-cooled, forward-facing twin-cylinder engine with double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, delivering 35 kW – the maximum allowed for a motorcycle that can be ridden with an A2 licence. Alongside its impressive power output, the bike’s weight is equally remarkable: 159 kg dry (175 kg fully fuelled), ensuring an unbeatable weight-to-power ratio. The aluminium frame, with the engine serving as a load-bearing element, and the adjustable suspension deliver a chassis that sets the benchmark for its category. True to Aprilia tradition, the standard electronic package is exceptionally comprehensive: Ride-by-Wire throttle, three Riding Modes, ABS and traction control – both adjustable and disengageable.
