Immediately after winning the World Superbike Championship, Aprilia presents the Thunder V4R a bare supersport well 162 hp! The recipe is simple: take the RSV4, dotatela all the newfangled electronic’m presented with the APRC RSV4 Factory SE, a bit tame ‘the engine and the new here is ready Thunder V4R. The frame is the famous double diagonal beam of light alloy which has just won a World Cup, the suspension is simplified in components: the fork Sachs Fully adjustable and equipped to carry over TiN on the stems, and also is adjustable Sachs rear shock with remote reservoir configuration “Piggy Back” and adaptable in length. The braking system is Brembo radial calipers with two 320 mm discs and half
The engine of the Thunder V4R has been softened compared to the RSV4 APRC SEBut his sister inherited the limited series exhaust system with butterfly valve, four pounds lighter than the version RSV4 “R” Ride by Wire and management of next generation. Change ratios of the first three gear ratios, shorter hours, and changes the value of torque, now 110 Nm, delivered 1,000 rpm lower than the track dedicated to his sister. The bike won two world titles in WSBK, Tuono V4R holds the family feeling of the tail, seat, tank and side panels, one of the best examples of Italian design motorcycle for the last decade the relationship between formal beauty and functionality.
The beauty of Thunder V4R is that Aprilia decided to give it the sophisticated electronics package APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control). It includes Dynamic Controls second generation developed by Aprilia to get closer to the edge of the driving physics. The APRC is based on a automotive inertial platformWith two gyros and two accelerometers allowing the controller to reconstruct the dynamic conditions of motion and working on the engine control to support the pilot in achieving a maximum speed of travel.
The package contains the APRC ATC traction control (Aprilia Traction Control) adjustable to eight levels to control the sliding while accelerating out of corners as a function of gas and the opening of the system AWC (Aprilia Wheelie Control) Providential in managing the most extreme wheeling and gradually take off the front wheel on the ground AQS (Aprilia Quick Shift), Which allows instant change without closing the gas and without using the clutch. Rounds of the options available to the most esoteric of the four devices: the system ALC (Aprilia Launch Control) . Simultaneously pressing the two buttons on the joystick to the left of the system will handle a “weapon” and appears on the display of the function operated. Since then the 162 horses of the bolide Noale are ready to launch Thunder V4R with the maximum acceleration available. We look forward to trying this latest bombshell Noale!
