RACINGTECHNOLOGY
RACING INSTRUMENTATION
The compact and lightweight dashboard provides all the functions of a real racing unit. It includes an analogue
rev counter and a multi-functional digital display with handlebar controls to access tachometer, trip counter,
battery voltage meter, clock and 20 lap timer, coolant temperature gauge and fuel reserve indicator. The unit also
incorporates provision for interfacing with a racetrack finish line timing system.
COMFORT AND SAFETY
The upside down fork and rear suspension with rising rate linkages guarantee the highest levels of handling,
safety and comfort, both in everyday traffic and on the racetrack. Even the brakes represent the best the market
currently has to offer. The radial front caliper is a four piston unit and is coupled with a metal braided brake hose
and a 320 mm floating disc. The rear brake also combines with a 220 mm disc and metal braided brake hose.
The result is precise, balanced and powerful 'GP' style braking.
RACING WHEELS
The 'Y' spoke alloy wheels have six spokes at the front and five at the rear. These low weight, high strength
wheels are fitted with tubeless radial tyres for unrivalled agility and superb road-holding under all conditions.
POWER AND RELIABILITY
The famous liquid cooled, single cylinder, two-
stroke engine that drives the RS 125 sets the
standard for 125 cc powerplants. Derived from
Aprilia's vast competition experience, it is reliable
on the road and powerful on the track, thanks to
refined technical solutions like reed valve induction
in the crankcase and an anti-vibration countershaft.
And of course it is homologated to Euro 3 standards
for maximum performance plus respect for the
environment.
