Aprilia RS 457 India Launch Tomorrow At 2023 India Bike Week

Aprilia India is all set to launch the highly anticipated RS 457 tomorrow, at the 2023 India Bike Week (IBW 2023). It will be the first bike from Aprilia to be made in India (at the Baramati plant in Maharashtra). We expect it to be priced at around Rs 4.25 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Italian motorcycle was revealed in India just before the Bharat GP on September 20. It displays a sleek design inspired by the larger Aprilia RS 660. The 457cc sports bike features an aggressive design, with an underbelly exhaust for added aesthetic appeal.

The Aprilia RS 457 is equipped with a 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces 46.7PS at 9400rpm and 43.5Nm at 6700rpm, paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.

It comes loaded with a lot of features like traction control, three riding modes, a 5-inch TFT instrument console and backlit switchgear. You can read more about the specs of the bike here.

The Aprilia RS 457 will rival the KTM RC 390, Kawasaki Ninja 400 and the upcoming Yamaha R3, which will be launched on December 15. Stay tuned while we cover the launch!
