Italian major Aprilia has been building a name for itself in the 450cc segment of motorcycles. Now, it’s all set to introduce an ‘entry-level’ model to take on the KTM RC 390 and Kawasaki Ninja 400.<\/p>\n
Aprilia has been among the brands that have found themselves limited by the strict norms of BSIV.<\/p>\n
The company, which has already brought in the new-gen RSV4 to India a few months back, will be looking to boost the market size in the entry-level segment with their new offering \u2013 Aprilia RS440.<\/p>\n
The upcoming Aprilia RS440, expected to be launched sometime next year, is the company’s first-ever entry-level model, which will compete in the highly competitive 400 + cc category.<\/p>\n
The brand has recently tested the new bike with the RS440 expected to commence production in 2024.<\/p>\n
Word on the street (okay, on the Internet) is that Aprilia is testing a new sportbike in India, which looks similar to RS660. Based on the already existing 660cc platform, this 440cc platform will be a formidable competitor to any manufacturer that chooses to enter the segment.<\/p>\n

Mainly because the company already has experience developing competitive parallel-twin engines.<\/p>\n
The first spy picture of the motorcycle started doing the rounds on social media. However, news of its arrival was confirmed recently.<\/p>\n
Aprilia RS440 will compete against the KTM RC 390 and the Kawasaki Ninja 400. It will get the have engine, a 440 cc unit producing likely about 44 BHP.<\/p>\n
In addition, the ‘spy shot’ photo also reveals the ‘underbelly’ exhaust. Interestingly, the overall design of the Aprilia RS440 looks similar to the RS660, including the ‘swingarm’.a<\/p>\n
To minimize the cost, we see a single disc brake instead of a twin on the RS660. But then it also has premium components like the USD forks.<\/p>\n
