New Site

By On September 21, 2011 · 7 Comments

Welcome You will have noticed a few changes around here today. We’ve completely redesigned our online presence, bringing in a host of new features and functions, to the sparkling new website of Aprilia Performance! After many long months of hard work, we finally have a new-look website that I think you’ll find easier to use, more helpful, and with lots of exciting new features. We hope that you find our new blog and website helpful and informative, and we really look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Remember this is the just the start of the new site. The old forum can be found in the footer. We also have a link to the new forum on the right hand side. We’re proud of our new home, and hope you like it. This is just the beginning, and in the coming months, we will continue to roll out new features and functionality. Please give us your feedback. Write to service@apriliaperformance.co.uk.

    Great site,
    I live in Europe and I am very much impressed by the presentation of the the website and different options available

    We knew the latest Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC SE incorporates racetrack-developed technologies, but what really caught our attention from the beginning was the APRC abbreviation in its designation. Short for Aprilia Performance Ride Control, the system uses an automotive inertial platform with two turn meters and two accelerometers that enable the ECU to track dynamic conditions and adjust engine control consequently.</p> <p>Everybody knew, in theory, what the APRC does, but few were those who truly understood the benefits of such a system.</p> <p>The Italian manufacturer has thus decided to make a motion video explaining the APRC and its individual components (Launch Control, Wheelie Control, Traction Control and Quick Shift), which you can see below this article.</p> <p>The four systems mentioned above can be programmed to individual levels of intervention or be disabled individually, facilitating enhanced rider control. It is also the only traction control system that allows for re-calibration to different tire size.</p> <p>Taken separately, Aprilia Launch Control works with both Wheelie Control and Traction Control in order to ease fast race starts. Once programmed, the rider only has to hold the throttle wide open and modulate the clutch to launch the RSV4. Launch Control thus prevents the wheelies and wheel spin that could limit performance to happen. The mode disengages once the bike crosses 100mph and 2nd gear is selected.</p> <p>On the other hand, the Wheelie Control sees a multitude of data points, including acceleration, attitude and throttle position, to determine if a wheelie is actually occurring. The mode does not cut power when a wheelie is detected, but incrementally modulates the height of that wheelie, maintaining maximum acceleration in safety. This is also useful while cornering, enabling the front tire to maintain contact with the track as the RSV4 drives out of corners.</p> <p>Moving on, the Traction Control allows riders to intuitively select eight different levels for different corners on the same track. It allows for a controlled slide, enabling riders to determine their own angle of slip using the throttle.</p> <p>Finally, the Quick Shift mode is used to upshift without closing the throttle. APRC can complete shifts in just 40 milliseconds, and by evaluating the ride mode selected, throttle position, gear position and acceleration, it determines how to deliver the smoothest possible shift.
