The Aprilia RXV 4.5, the First V-twin Enduro

Aprilia’s RXV 4.5 has the potential to do the same to dirt bikes . It’s the first 450cc V-twin for an enduro type of bike. It’s lighter and smaller than many singles cylinder enduro bikes, and by any standard, it’s fast. The Aprilia RXV 4.5 makes a big first impression with its indulgent design. It’s all sharp lines and flamboyant angles, if you’re looking for a mental toy though, style matters. Fuel injection, a clever ECU, and a reliable electric start remove one of the worst agonies of enduro riding, thrashing away at a hot engine’s kickstart after the battery has rolled on its back.
