Aprilia RSV4 Obscure SPE.ED: Full Specs and Gallery (EICMA 2027)
Aprilia revealed a new special edition of the RSV4 at EICMA, the RSV4 Obscure SPE.ED (short for SPEcial EDition), a blacked-out, lightweight version limited to a production run of just 500 units. Despite its stealthy, track-inspired look, it is fully street legal, with mirrors, full lighting, and a licence plate holder, and it can be fitted with a passenger seat and footpegs.
The headline addition is a set of carbon fibre leg wings developed from the RS-GP MotoGP bike, positioned to add downforce and rear tyre grip. Fitting the optional passenger footpegs means removing these wings. Carbon fibre is also used for the fenders, side panels, footrest guards, and front brake air intakes, and the bike rides on lightweight BST carbon wheels that save a claimed 4.4 pounds over the RSV4 Factory's forged aluminium wheels.
