RS 457

Read our hands-on Aprilia RS 457 review covering the 457cc parallel-twin engine, 47.6 hp output, 190 km/h top speed, aluminum frame, and pricing.

Parallel-Twin Sport #1 Ranked
APRILIA RS 457

Constructed around a perimeter steel frame, the APRILIA RS 457 is designed to provide confident stability at both highway speeds and city streets. The overall kerb weight of 175 kg gives the motorcycle excellent highway composure without compromising low-speed maneuverability. Its robust hardware and high-quality body panels ensure long-term durability and premium street presence.

Maintenance Tip

Check engine oil levels every 1,000 km to prevent internal friction damage. Clean the drive chain periodically and lubricate it for optimal gear transmission.

At the heart of the machine is a high-torque 47.6 PS motor that responds instantly to throttle inputs. It achieves a maximum speed of 190 km/h, ensuring swift overtaking on city bypasses and expressways. Up front, robust suspension forks absorb broken pavement, while the clutch action remains light and progressive in heavy traffic.
