Aprilia Motorcycles 2026: Innovations, New Designs, and GT Scooter

For 2026, the Aprilia Factory Family including the RSV4 Factory, Tuono V4 Factory, RS 660 Factory, and Tuono 660 Factory receives striking new graphics that accentuate the aerodynamic lines of the motorcycles. With the larger Factory models like the RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory, Aprilia uses color combinations in purple, white, and red, reminiscent of classic racing designs. The mid-range RS 660 Factory and Tuono 660 Factory feature a bold Shakedown Yellow design. These visual updates aim to emphasize the sporty orientation of the bikes and enhance their presence on the streets.

With the RS 457 GP Replica, Aprilia expands its lineup of sport-focused machines in the lightweight supersport category. This special edition targets riders with an A2 license, combining agile handling with technical features reminiscent of racing bikes. The Replica variant stands out visually with its black frame, swingarm, and fork, along with a solo seat design featuring a passenger seat cover. Additionally, sponsor graphics on the fairing visually align with Aprilia's MotoGP program.

A central highlight of the new lineup is the Aprilia SR GT 400, marking Aprilia's debut in the mid-size GT scooter segment. The SR GT 400 is built on a unique frame concept, blending motorcycle elements into a versatile crossover vehicle. It's powered by a liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with 400 cc, delivering 36 HP at 7,500 rpm and 37.7 Nm of torque. The ready-to-ride weight is approximately 186 kg.

The chassis features a 41 mm upside-down fork and two rear shock absorbers, each with 120 mm travel, which, along with 190 mm ground clearance, aims to ensure a comfortable ride even off the beaten path. The robust suspension is designed to provide precise handling characteristics.

For the braking and safety package, Aprilia includes a 300 mm front disc brake with a radially mounted four-piston caliper, a 240 mm rear disc, and a configurable ABS system. A two-stage traction control (ATC) is also available.

Equipment highlights include a 5-inch TFT color display with day/night mode, an integrated Aprilia MIA system for smartphone connectivity with navigation and voice output, a keyless entry system, and a USB-C port in the storage compartment. An integral helmet fits under the seat.

Visually, the SR GT 400 draws from Aprilia's sporty and adventure-oriented designs. The front features a three-part LED headlight combining sharp lines with functional lighting technology, while an adjustable windshield is intended to enhance wind protection. Optional accessories like a top case, crash bars, or heated grips expand its usability.

The 2026 season novelties from Aprilia showcase a strategic blend of high-performance motorcycles, sport-focused special editions, and a new, technically advanced GT scooter. With the visual updates to the Factory family, the RS 457 GP Replica, and the SR GT 400, the brand expands its offerings for both sporty riders and commuters. The models presented at EICMA are set to be integrated into the lineup over the course of the coming year.
