2026 Aprilia RS 660

A masterpiece of contemporary racing technology and first-class electronics, the RS 660 delivers thrills aplenty on both road and track. With its perfect fusion of an outstanding chassis, competitive power-to-weight ratio and 100-horsepower twin engine that delivers a concise, engaging and accessible riding experience, it introduces a new standard in the sports sector. A work of beauty to behold, it interprets the Aprilia brand through a winning combination of innovation, technology and design.

Redesigned Aerodynamics

While maintaining its core principles of dynamic, modern shapes with compact surfaces, it now features more advanced aerodynamics, incorporating concepts from Aprilia’s MotoGP experience. A large wing is now positioned beneath the windshield, along with two smaller aerodynamic appendages that enhance airflow penetration and high-speed stability. The redesigned side fairings retain the double-layer structure with an integrated aerodynamic appendage, an exceptionally innovative solution. Developing these new features proved challenging, as the goal was to integrate design with functionality seamlessly.

APRC System

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) 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. 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. Six-axis IMU. Lastly the new addition of Launch Control.

Powerplant

The 660cc forward-facing twin-cylinder engine, a compact and lightweight latest-generation unit, already delivering record performance for its class, now complies with Euro 5+ standards. With the adoption of larger diameter throttle bodies (52 mm instead of the previous 48 mm), the RS 660 now outputs 105 HP. The engine also acts as a stressed member, contributing to a compact, lightweight, and rigid structure through a twin-spar frame bolted to the steering head and rear, in keeping with Aprilia’s tradition of refined chassis design.
