The official launch comes after a teaser was dropped by the manufacturer hinting at a potential launch of the RS 457 at IBW 2023 on social media, followed by a confirmation of the same a few days later.
The Aprilia RS 457 is powered by a 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces 46.7PS at 9400rpm and 43.5Nm at 6700rpm making it more powerful than its closest rival, the Kawasaki Ninja 400 by 1.7PS and 6.5Nm.

The bike rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 110-section front and 150-section rear TVS Eurogrip ProTorq Extreme tyres.
Braking is handled by a 320m floating disc at front with 4-piston radial callipers and a 220mm disc at the rear with 2-piston sliding callipers, with dual channel ABS as standard. The bike has an accessible seat height of 800mm and tank capacity of 13 litres, with kerb weight standing at 175kg.
Coming to features, the RS 457 packs a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity as an option add-on, ride-by-wire throttle, 3 riding modes and 3 levels of traction control.

- Aprilia RS 457 Ownership ReviewIt is the best choice for a budget super sport bike and looks aggressive with a lot of torque and power. The twin cylinder engine is very tractable and the overall ride experience is fun! Definitely a head turner. The bike is very smooth and the engine is very responsive. The posture is a bit demanding so would avoid in traffic jams and long rides. The power is just amazing, a twist of the throttle and before you know it you are reaching triple digit speeds. This is a pure red bike and would only suggest it to those who are genuinely in need of the power upgrade and will ride the bike the way it is meant to. For beginners and clout chasers would definitely recommend to stay away from this bike.Read More3 5
