SECOND GENERATION — RR, RF & 1100 FACTORY

Developed for the 2016 SBK rules (less-modifiable production models), the RSV4 RR and RF join the 201 hp club on the 999.6cc base with a revised chassis and standard ABS. In 2019, the RSV4 1100 Factory marks another milestone: 1,078cc, 214 hp, standard MotoGP aerodynamic wings and fourth-generation APRC (cornering ABS, 6 modes). In 2020, the Öhlins forks gain electronic Smart EC management.
