JAKARTA - In India Bike Week (IBW) late last year, Aprilia brought a racing-style motorbike of RS 457 to be sold to the Indian market. This motorbike has a competitive price in its class.

The Italian two-wheeled vehicle manufacturer set the price for this model at 410.000 rupees or around Rp. 77.6 million and will compete with Kawasaki Ninja 400 and Yamaha R3. With its attractive specifications and the price turns out to be in demand by many consumers, unfortunately, this motorbike shipment had experienced delays.

According to a BikeWale report, Tuesday, March 19, the company originally planned to send it in early March. However, after speaking with a number of dealers, there were unexpected things that delayed its shipments.

Several RS 457 models will arrive in the showroom in a few days given the length of the initial phase before it is delivered, an estimated delivery will begin in April.

Aprilia RS 457 is one of the first fully produced sports motorcycles in India. This motorbike carries an aggressive and sporty style as well as reflects its impressive performance.

The motorbike is equipped with the latest 457 cc parallel-twin engines that can pump around 45 dk of power and 43.5 Nm of torque with a combination of six manual acceleration transmissions.

In order to support its performance, RS 457 was adjusted to the 41 mm reverse fork suspension which can be arranged at the front and monoshock at the back. This motorbike is equipped with two 320 mm disk brakes on the front and 220 mm on the back supported by Dual-Channel ABS.
