APRILIA RX50

Essential lines worthy of the most sporting and adventuresome enduro bikes, with Aprilia's care and attention to every detail. The Aprilia RX50 enduro embodies dynamism, power, safety and reliability.

The Aprilia RX50 is the perfect compromise between technology and riding thrills , and is the ideal bike for today's dynamic young riders. While fully satisfying the demand for leisure time freedom, the RX50 also performs admirably in practical every-day use.

Its top level technical specifications make the Aprilia RX50 a real all round performer .

The Aprilia RX50 two stroke engine delivers well above average performance. Liquid cooling means reliability and constant power under even the hardest riding conditions. The 6 speed gearbox guarantees agility in enduro use, when challenging sections have to be tackled at just the right engine speed.

The Aprilia RX50 is packed with fun and excitement for off road use, but is just as happy in daily riding to and from home. Its excellent braking system, featuring front and rear disks, and large size tyres ensure maximum safety.

The chassis is the fruit of years of Aprilia racing , and ensures top class handling under all riding conditions, enabling the RX50 rider to make full use of the bike's exceptional performance.

The closed cradle frame split at exhaust level is manufactured from high strength steel for strength as well as good looks.

The Aprilia RX50 suspension delivers precision and comfort on the road while absorbing the hardest knocks in off-road use. The upside down front fork is race inspired. The progressive action rear suspension features a box section steel swing-arm with adjustable hydraulic monoshock.

The catalytic exhaust fully complies with EURO 1 limits so that the Aprilia RX 50 respects the environment without compromising on performance.
