APRILIA RXV 450 (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia RXV was a family of four-stroke V-twin off-road motorcycles made by Aprilia since 2006. The bike was available in 450 and 550cc versions. Alongside the RXV, the maker released the SXV series, a dual-sport supermoto bike also available in two displacements.

In 2011, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia RXV 450, the smaller sister of the RXV 550 model. Both motorcycles were similar in appearance but differed in performance specifications.

The 2011 motorcycle came in the same shape and form as the previous models, featuring the same visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

The bike was fitted with standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small headlight, a single two-tone seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust, a dual-sided aluminum swingarm, an engine plate, and wire-spoke wheels with black rims and off-road tires.

In the performance department, the 2011Aprilia RXV 450 took its muscles from a 449cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering 60 hp at 13,000 rpm and 54 Nm (40 lb-ft) torque at 11,000 rpm.

The engine was married to a five-speed manual transmission with a cable-operated wet multi-plate clutch that sent the power to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to a top speed of 183 kph (114 mph).
