Drive
The heart of the RSV 1000 R is a constructed of Rotax 60 ° V2 engine with electronic fuel injection. The engine achieves a significantly higher peak power as opposed to its predecessor, especially in the upper speed range from 7,000 rpm. In addition, the magnesium was but V2 engine also reworked by an improved Ram Air system. This was achieved on the model of Honda SP1 with a large intake duct, sitting aerodynamically optimal in the center of the front panel.
On the basis of the new trend for increasingly higher peak powers to Aprilia decided in 2009 for the introduction of the RSV4, which now does not have a V-2 engine, but a V4 engine. Thus, the RSV 1000 R is the ultimate supersport machine from Aprilia with a V-2 engine. Facelift For 2006, the engine was increased to 143 hp at 10,000 rpm, this was achieved among other things by larger exhaust valves.
Landing gear

The top model is equipped factory of the fork on the strut to the steering damper Öhlins suspension components of the renowned manufacturer. In contrast, the buyer of the cheaper R model only got spring elements of the manufacturer Showa front and Sachs rear. Since the Federelemete the Standard Model R partially soft failed under extreme load was set from the Facelift 2006 at the R model on spring elements of the Öhlins home.
Power transmission
The primary mechanism via gears. The separation force is effected by a multi-plate wet clutch, the torque conversion by means of a six speed gearbox. The secondary drive has a chain drive.
