The brand new 90° V2 produced entirely in-house by Aprilia is extremely compact. Above all, thanks to the advanced electronic management, it can deliver power comparable to four cylinder engines in the same class, but with much more favourable torque at low revs. The innovative mixed trellis/aluminium frame provides standard setting rigidity. All this makes the bike extremely compact, with a dry weight of just 189 kg.
The main characteristics of the Aprilia 750 are:
- 90° V2 engine with four valve cylinder head, double overhead camshaft and liquid cooling.
- Ride by Wire technology for electronic control of the throttle bodies;
- Electronic fuel injection with latest generation injectors;

THE V90 ENGINE
The engine has been designed by the Aprilia Research and Development department. In summary:
- 90° V structure;
- Ride by Wire technology;
- Bore and stroke ratio markedly supersquare;
- Four valves per cylinder;
- Ignition with two plugs per cylinder;
- Double overh ...
