The Aprilia RS 457 has made its debut in India. The bike was unveiled in the presence of MotoGP riders Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales. Pre-bookings are now open and the pricing is expected to be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n
The Aprilia RS 457 is a fully-faired bike that draws inspiration from the RS 660. It features dual LED headlamps with a short visor and clip-on handlebars at the front, a short tail section and an underbelly exhaust.<\/p>\n
The bike comes equipped with a digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, 3-stage traction control and ABS. It is equipped with a ride-by-wire system and a quick shifter, which is optional.<\/p>\n
The RS 457 is powered by a 457cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 47 BHP, which puts it in the same league as the KTM RC 390. The engine is mated with a 6-speed gearbox.<\/p>\n
The RS 457 features an upside-down front fork with a mono-shock at the rear. It gets disc brakes at both ends and rides on 17-inch wheels.<\/p>\n
