New Aprilia RS 660, RS 660 Factory: What's New?

To ensure more advanced aerodynamics, Aprilia has redesigned the fairing of its massively popular sportbike, leveraging on concepts from its MotoGP project. A massive wing is now mounted beneath the windshield, coupled with two smaller aerodynamic appendages that improve airflow penetration and high-speed stability. While maintaining the double-layer structure, the updated side fairings now include an integrated aerodynamic appendage. 

For 2025, Aprilia has also offered extensive onboard electronics with the bike, including a larger five-inch full-colour display and new handlebar controls with backlighting. Additionally, the new RS660's Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) now has launch control. As before, the bike comes with cruise control, multi-level traction control, wheelie control, engine brake control, and cornering ABS. It also retains an electronic Ride-by-Wire throttle and a six-axis inertial platform (standard). 

On the mechanical front, the bike's 660cc parallel-twin engine is now Euro 5+ compliant. Owing to larger 52mm throttle bodies (up from 48mm), the unit generates about 5bhp more at 105bhp.
