It also features a 4-2-1 titanium sport exhaust with a single-side silencer in carbon and titanium.

When it comes to chassis, adjustability is key for tailoring a machine to every rider's unique settings. The Biaggi Replica has an aluminum double rail frame with cast and pressed elements featuring an adjustable headstock position and angle, engine height and swingarm pin height.

All the parameters of these gizmos can be modified with a push of a button on the handlebar or dedicated "Aprilia Racing Palm."



Stopping power is provided by Brembo, with radial attachment single body calipers and sintered pads that operate on 320mm front floating disks. To save weight, the system utilizes a lightened stainless steel braking surface and a flange in aluminum.

In this project, which was developed in parallel to our re-entry into SBK, we poured out all of our knowledge and years of experience on tracks all over the world. This is the bike which came out of it, conceived and developed within Aprilia Racing to offer unique sensations to the shrewd user.”
