Aggressive, decisive, and with plenty of character to express its dynamic, lightweight nature in a personal, unique style that typifies Italian passion for motorcycle racing. For years the RS 125 has been unbeaten on the 125 Sport Production racing circuit.
The RS 125 comes in two versions, GP-One Replica and SBK Replica, both destined to reinforce the market leadership of the RS 125, Europe's best selling road sports bike.
The Aprilia RS 125 brings the under 18 rider the best the European motorcycle market has to offer in terms of equipment and technology.
The sporty lines of this bike are the result of painstaking design and advanced aerodynamic research. Fruit of extensive wind tunnel testing, the aerodynamic form ensures total protection and minimum air resistance, giving a whole series of advantages including reduced fuel consumption and optimised performance under all conditions.
The aerodynamic fairing and windshield, with integrated hand guards to eliminate all turbulence, allow the rider to really make the most of the incredible speed and performance of this bike. The styling of the front mudguard matches the rest of the bodywork. The RS 125 is proof that perfect aerodynamics mean stability and safety at high speed.
The headlight cluster features a multi-focal double lamp unit and gives the bike an original, eye-catching appearance. Naturally, as well as looking good, the headlight cluster also adds to active safety during night-time riding and guarantees instant visibility in the day.
The tail not only improves aerodynamic penetration but also incorporates a spacious lockable storage compartment to house items like locks and rainproofs.
The passenger seat is integrated in the tail to avoid spoiling the clean, streamlined lines of the bike. The tail is mounted on an extremely lightweight rear frame.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 14 litres, and gives exceptional autonomy. Not only, but its perfect shape allows the rider to hug the bike like a leech.
The five spoke wheels look sporty but are also lightweight, reliable and safe. The competition standard braking system features a 320 mm front disk with a four piston calliper, and a 220 mm diameter rear disk.
The suspensions play a fundamental role in ensuring top level performance, safety and comfort. The Aprilia RS 125 is equipped with a 40 mm Ø upside down hydraulic action telescopic fork, with adjustable spring preload and wheel travel of 120 mm. The front fork is one of the winning cards taken from the Aprilia 125 Challenge Trophy.
The rear suspension's hydraulic monoshock has also been developed on the basis of racing experience and features adjustable preload too.
The aluminium alloy swing-arm gives the RS 125 the best torsional rigidity of all production 125 cc bikes. Differential member design permits the swing-arm to pass close to the bike's body. This permits bends to be tackled at greater angles without the risk of dangerous grounding.
The aluminium alloy perimeter beam frame gives exceptional torsional rigidity and light weight. Its design is the reference point for all our competitors. Here again, the transfer of knowledge and technology from the track to the road is typical of Aprilia's approach to quality, technology and safety.
Extensive wind tunnel testing has led to a globally improved CX for this already aerodynamic motorcycle, and has optimised even further the performance of its 125 cc two stroke engine. This advanced power unit features water cooling, balancing countershaft, exhaust control valve and reed intake for riding pleasure and constant power.
The aluminium silencer complements the bike's styling and is highly efficient in maximising engine power and minimising noise.
RS 125 is equipped with a catalytic exhaust in compliance with EURO 1 specifications.
This sporting Aprilia is available in two versions: the RS 125 for newly licensed riders with power limited to 11 kW and the RS 125 kat Euro 1 full power. A conversion kit can be fitted to the 11 kW version to convert it to full power at a later stage.
The side stand safety system is another extremely important feature. A safety switch prevents the bike being started up and ridden off with the stand down.
The racing style instruments not only look good but are also easy to read. The dashboard includes speedometer, rev counter and coolant temperature gauge to allow the rider to keep all important parameters under control. The speedometer can be removed quickly and easily for track use.
