Aprilia RS 660 Extrema '2023

14 Nov 2022

Aprilia has announced the new RS 660 Extrema, a special edition of its middleweight sports bike with added performance and reduced weight.

The Aprilia RS 660 has been successful since its introduction a few years ago, especially in America where it has found racing success in the Super Twins class of MotoAmerica.

To celebrate that success, Aprilia made a special edition of the bike which featured a paint scheme with the colours of the US flag, and now there is a new special edition RS 660.

The RS 660 Extrema takes its name from the RS125R Extrema from the 1990s which was one of the more extreme eighth-litre sports bikes developed in a time where Aprilia found significant success in the 125cc World Championship, winning their first title (with a prototype 125, of course, not an Extrema) in the Extrema’s first year of production, 1992, and a second in its final year of production, 1994.

This Extrema version weighs 166kg, features a new exhaust from SC-Project with a carbon silencer, other carbon components (including the exhaust bracket, front mudguard and belly pan), a single-seat fairing, and an electronic option to set the quickshifter up for a reversed shifting pattern (‘race shift’).
