The Aprilia RS 457 presents itself as an impressive bike in the A2 category, with its harmonious combination of powerful engine, sporty riding dynamics and appealing design. The engine delivers dynamic power and the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and sound also contribute to a positive overall impression. However, there are weaknesses in the brakes, particularly in terms of modulation and the behaviour of the ABS system at the limit.
