Aprilia RS 457 Launched in the US, Deliveries to Begin in April 2024

Aprilia has revealed the RS 457's costs for two overseas markets, the USA and Canada, as we look forward to the bike's rollout in our market. Going into details, the Racing Stripes variant of the model boasts a price tag of USD 6,899 (Rs 5.74 lakh) in the United States market, while the Prismatic Dark and Opalescent Light hues are priced at USD 6,799 (Rs 5.66 lakh). Meanwhile, for the Canadian market, the Racing Stripes trim will cost CAD 7,999 (about Rs 4.83 lakh) whereas, for the other two colour schemes, the prospective buyers will have to shell out CAD 7,799 (about Rs 4.71 lakh). As for its pricing in India, there is no further information available from the Italian motorcycle manufacturer. However, as the RS 457 is being manufactured locally in India at the brand's Baramati facility, the bike is anticipated to be comparatively less expensive for the Indian market. Notably, the bookings for the model are now underway in these nations, with deliveries slated to begin in April next year.

Aprilia RS 457: Design

The motorcycle features a dynamic triangle shape, a lightweight subframe for improved agility, and an aggressive riding position. Aerodynamic vents are included in the side fairing, and the fuel tank has a muscular aspect. Twin LED headlamps, a handlebar that clips on, and a short tail section are additional design highlights.
