2023 Aprilia RS660 Extrema First Look
Rennie Scaysbrook | November 9, 2022
The RS660 has been nothing but a roaring success for Aprilia in 2021/22, so for next year, the company is celebrating by launching the 2023 2023 Aprilia RS660 Extrema.
What makes it so Extrema? Well, it’s not like you’ve got electronic Ohlins suspension or carbon fiber wheels thrown in, but you will get a new SC Project titanium race exhaust system that exits on the right side of the bike next to the swingarm, doing away with the hidden muffler that sits under the suspension on the standard model.
A little weight saving goes a long way for Aprilia and the RS660 Extrema.
There’s no passenger pegs and thus no passenger seat on the Extrema, and there’s more weight saving going on in the carbon fender and belly pan with Aprilia claiming a curb weight of 366 lb.
The RS 660 already has multi-level traction control, Cornering ABS and wheelie control, but the Extrema will get a quickshifter that allows the rider to change gear direction from one down, five up road shift pattern to a one up/five down race pattern without having to mess with lever lengths and pivots, which will be a handy feature for budding track riders.
Topping the list is the pretty tricolor paint job that looks a little like some of the bikes that were running in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup series this year.
Power is quoted at 100 horsepower, which is the top of the Twins class.
MSRP and just when the 2023 Aprilia RS660 Extrema will hit dealer floors in America remains to be seen.
