The highly anticipated Philippine launch of the Italian Powerhouse, Aprilia RS457, Takes on the Philippine Market by Storm

Manila, Philippines – Aprilia Philippines officially launch the highly anticipated Aprilia RS 457 in the Philippine market. A public display at the Carousel Court, Festival Supermall, Alabang, where motorcycle riders and enthusiasts of two-wheels are in for a treat. Once again, the Italian motorcycle brand has raised the bar for sportbikes with this latest addition to its lineup. But what made this sportbike stand out is the power, agility, and engineering design is 100% Italian. But scaled to discover and cater to the new generation of bikers.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

At its heart, the RS457 packs a punch with a liquid-cooled Ride-By-Wire, 2 parallel forward-facing 4 valves per cylinder, 457cc engine.

Its sleek, aerodynamic design and cutting-edge technology are made possible with its dual-frame aluminum frame. It holds a 41mm upside-down fork, adjustable preload, and 120mm travel on the front. And a mono-shock, adjustable preload, 130 mm wheel travel on the rear. With a front tire of 110/70-17 and 150/60-17 on the rear, safety stopping power is dampened by the 4-piston radial caliper disc brake and a byBre single-piston caliper disc brake at the rear.

It only weighs 175kgs with a seat height of 800mm making it ideal for Filipino riders who are into speed. This is a street-legal sports bike and can be taken anywhere on the street. Its 13-liter tank capacity is enough to take into account its fuel consumption.

Local motorcycle aficionados eagerly await for this to deliver an exciting riding experience. Visitors at the display randomly fit positions at its stance riding the Aprilis RS457.

Aprilia RS457 is available at P348,000 for the Opalescent Light and Prismatic Dark. And P358,000 for the Racing Stripes. Excitement surrounds the launch and it is expected to be a popular choice among sportbike enthusiasts nationwide.
