– RS 660 Trofeo variant launched at Rs. 18 lakh
– Gets top-class suspension
– ECU reprogrammed to offer full power
Aprilia has taken the wraps off one of its most exclusive bikes – the RS 660 Trofeo. This model is so exclusive that only 28 units will ever be made.
The Italian firm has built this particular model for the race track and a lot of parts have gone into it to get the fastest lap time. This motorcycle has been made by Aprilia Racing as a part of its factory racing program.
To make it track-worthy, the bike has been equipped with some top-class components. The suspension system has been updated with a fully adjustable Misano by Andreani internal cartridge. This system works for both compression and rebound damping and preload. At the rear, there is an Ohlins AP948 shock that is also fully adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound damping.
A lot of work has also gone into tuning the chassis. The company has lowered the riding position by using an upper steering yoke and adjustable semi-handlebars. The footpegs are now adjustable and the overall weight has also gone down by a couple of kilograms. Then, the engine churns out a bit more power as the ECU has been reprogrammed to develop full power and to complement this, there’s the SC-Project racing exhaust.
This limited edition RS 660 has been priced at a whopping Rs. 18 lakh – making it an expensive motorcycle. But it makes sense for riders who are looking to race quite often and also want something exclusive.
