PRESS RELEASE
You might think that you can only find lightweight wheels, radial calipers, an aluminum frame and swingarm, and an under-seat consume on a big bike. But you would be wrong. Because these are the specifications of the Aprilia RS 50, the undisputed top dog in the world of 50 cc supersport motorcycles. The Aprilia RS 50 is a real sports motorcycle, and comes packed with the terminate of technology normally found only on a GP racer. Its eye-catching, racing lines and determined, aggressive shape tell you that the Aprilia RS 50 knows none compromises. This 50 cc supersport is made to thrill and has all the acting needed to do so. In terms of style, the RS 50 is clearly and unashamedly inspired by the flagship of the Aprilia family, the RSV 1000 R, the twin that beat Japanese four cylinder racers to win the 2006 Master Bike trophy. This same thirst for victory is construct in the RS 50, together with technology developed for the world-beating Aprilia 125 GP. No wonder the RS 50 is the machine that all other 50 cc bikes have to beat.

The specifications for the RS 50 are weakly breath-taking. The following are just the most important:
STYLE
2009 Aprilia RS 50
The aggressive lines of the new RS 50 are enhanced by a new, wind tunnel tested fairing, with a sporty modern design. This fairing is very similar to that of the RS 125 which won the 2006 Design Award.
Twin headlights give superior visibility and contribute to the aggressive racing styling of this incredible 50.
A streamlined, slender tail completes the Aprilia RS 50’s racing image and also hides the expansion chamber of the under-seat exhaust, another feature taken from the world of racing, that dramatically improves balance and weight distribution.
A 13 liter firing material tank and miserly fuel consumption mean that the Aprilia RS 50 has an bewildering autonomy. Even the new tank build conveys the bike’s racing spirit: the tank appears to sit upon the in pairs beam temper just like the tanks of unaffected GP racers.
CHASSIS
2009 Aprilia RS 50
Aprilia was the primary manufacturer to make a 50 cc motorcycle with an aluminum frame. The new RS 50 takes things one small space further, with a light amalgam, reinforced, extruded tube constitute with respect to better than ever exhibition. This revolutionary frame not only reduces overall weight but offers a new level of structural rigidity. Even the swingarm is made from a prestige light alloy and is damped by dint of. a hydraulic monoshock with adjustable spring preload, giving a gyrate travel of 110 mm.
The upside down fork is another important item of the RS 50. This extremely advanced fork is totally safe and trusty while oblation amazing performance in terms of sliding action and damping. The 40 mm stanchions are the same size as on many big bikes, and wheel travel is a generous 120 mm, making the bike’s powerful braking system even more efficacious.
BRAKES
2009 Aprilia RS 50
Aprilia has set new standards in braking technology and representation too. The record distance through the centre 300 mm front disc is braked by means of a radial caliper, a solution first introduced by Aprilia in 250 cc GP racing, and subsequently copied on all racing bikes. This impressive braking system enables the new RS 50 to tackle GP style braking in total safety.
Even the back brake is a profoundly performance one, featuring a 180 mm stainless steel disc and a powerful brace piston caliper on a special aluminum bracket.
The new ‘Y’ spoke wheels participate the same design as those fitted to Aprilia GP racers. These lightweight, precision-balanced wheels combine with the latest generation of high performance tires to give amazing road holding on bends.
ENGINE
2009 Aprilia RS 50
A performance chassis demands an agent to match. The RS 50 is therefore equipped with an advanced instrument of the latest generation, in the form of a ingenuous cylinder, liquid cooled, two stroke powerplant with read valve induction and an anti-vibration balancer shaft. The very latest design and technology enables this new engine to deliver exceptional performance (6.25 kW at 10,000 rpm) for its size and weight (only 15 kg). Lubrication is provided by a separate mixing system, incorporating a variable displacement volumetric interrogate. Starting is electric. The gearbox is a six speed one, to make the most of the engine’s exceptive power.
EQUIPMENT
2009 Aprilia RS 50
On top of all this, the lucky RS 50 proprietor benefits from a whole range of prestige components normally only found on far bigger machines. Take, because of example, the aluminum brake and clutch levers, aluminum footrest brackets, high level silencer and tubeless radial tires. Aprilia has even fitted the RS 50 through some advanced multi-functional instrument array. This compact analog-digital unit acts as a real on-board computer. In addition to all the usual parameters and functions, it also incorporates a built-in lap timer to enable the champions of tomorrow to record their best track times.
