The RS 660 draws on the winning Aprilia expertise to introduce new standards to its category. The top-of-the-range chassis creates a truly dynamic riding experience with its uniquely-constructed lightweight aluminium frame and swingarm optimising weight distribution.

The sporty personality and contemporary lines of the RS 660 make a splash wherever it goes, bring Aprilia’s winning track experience to the road. Its unique design shapes a lightweight, compact bike with sleek, agile volumes. Delivering stability at high speeds, it’s all about creating a fun, pleasurable riding experience.

The riding position has been carefully designed to offer comfort on the road and the ideal front weight distribution. The perfectly balanced set-up of saddle, foot pegs and the clip-on handlebars over the steering yoke create a dynamic riding position. Add to all this a choice of five predefined riding modes for different track and road conditions and you have all the ingredients for a truly thrilling riding experience.

Originally developed for use in racing then fine-tuned for the road, the APRC system is an advanced electronic control solution. It is a total package designed to ensure safety on roads and improved performance on the track.
The RS 660 boasts the latest APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package of electronic controls. This advanced inertial six-axis navigation system uses internal gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to understand the engine’s status as it relates to the road in real time and provide instant adjustments to help improve performance and safety.
An evolution of a system that was designed for highest-level racing, the RS 660’s APRC package includes:
– ATC: Aprilia Traction Control, adjustable traction control based on precise, high-performance operating logic.
– AWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control
– ACC: Aprilia Cruise Control which maintains your set speed without touching the throttle.
– AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift, an electronic gear system that enables extremely fast gear shifts without closing the throttle or using the clutch. It also includes a downshift function for changing down without touching the clutch. Also available as an optional extra is a software that enables you to implement a reverse shift pattern without having to substitute any parts.
– AEB: Aprilia Engine Brake, for controlling engine braking when closing the throttle down.
– AEM: Aprilia Engine Map, with a range of different maps that vary engine power output and character.
– ABS: with cornering functionality and 3 adjustable levels

Advanced multimap Cornering ABS ensures maximum safety on the road without compromising the RS 660’s performance. Using a precise algorithm that continuously monitors a host of parameters such as lateral acceleration, pressure applied to the front brake, lean, pitch and yaw, the brake action is adjusted to create the ideal deceleration and stability ratio, whilst optimising ABS intervention.

The RS 660 is designed to accommodate a host of accessories that not only improve performance, style and comfort but also allow riders to express their own personality.
– Aprilia “for race use only” complete exhaust by Akrapovič: a complete exhaust system with a carbon terminal, designed exclusively for use on the track and as such is not certified for road use. Extremely lightweight, it optimises the bike’s sound and the twin-cylinder’s performance so that riders can push their RS 660 to the max. The kit contains an engine control unit programmed with its own maps and software that enables quick shift to be used in a reverse shift pattern (this is also available separately).
– Aprilia certified Akrapovič complete exhaust: a complete system of road-certified headers that enhance the bike’s performance, sound and look. – Reverse shift modification software: allowing you to use Quick shift in a reverse pattern simply by loading a piece of software instead of having to replace any parts.
– Clutch and brake lever: made from billet aluminium, these are adjustable and add yet another sporty element to the bike’s look.
– Wheel stickers: to apply to the channel spokes for an even more aggressive look
