The highly anticipated Aprilia RS457 bike has finally had its price announced. This bike made its global debut a few months ago and has since been showcased during the Indian G.P. It is an entry-level offering from the company and will compete fiercely with the KTM RC 390 in the Indian market. Additionally, it is expected to give the soon-to-be-launched Kawasaki Ninja 500 a run for its money.
The price for the new Aprilia RS457 has been announced for the global market. The starting price for the Prismatic Dark and Opalescent Light color models is 5.66 lakh rupees ($6,799), while the Racing Stripes variant will be priced at 5.74 lakh rupees ($6,899).
In Canada, the price for the Prismatic Dark and Opalescent Light color models will be 4.71 lakh rupees (C$7,799), while the Racing Stripes variant will have a price tag of 4.83 lakh rupees (C$7,999). Comparatively, these prices may seem higher than in India. However, considering that the Aprilia RS457 will be manufactured in India, it is expected that the prices in the U.S. and Canada will be lower.
The Aprilia RS457 boasts a powerful 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that comes with a 6-speed gearbox, capable of generating up to 47bhp. The motorcycle also features USD forks, 17-inch wheels, dual-disc brakes, traction control, quick shifter, and a TFT dash.
In the Indian market, the Aprilia RS457 will likely pose a strong challenge to the KTM RC 390. It comes with a host of impressive features, including switchable ABS. As for upcoming updates, the RC 390 may receive adjustable suspension, and a new 399cc single-cylinder engine with 45.3bhp and 39Nm of torque.
