Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica Showcased at EICMA 2025: Race-Inspired Livery

Aprilia has unveiled the RS 457 GP Replica, a special edition of its popular RS 457, at the EICMA 2025 show in Milan. This new version draws inspiration from Aprilia’s MotoGP race machine, the RS-GP. 
 

It features a bold gloss-and-matte black finish, complete with official sponsor graphics that closely resemble the brand’s factory race bike. In addition, the aluminium frame, swingarm, and steering plate now come in a blacked-out finish. This gives the bike a more aggressive and premium appeal.
 

Equipment Upgrades and Track-Ready Touches

In terms of features, it adds meaningful upgrades. The bike now includes a quickshifter for clutchless upshifts, offering smoother gear changes during spirited rides. The front brake pads have been upgraded with a higher-friction compound, which improves braking performance and control. Moreover, the motorcycle gets a single-seat cowl that replaces the pillion seat. This enhances its race-ready look and makes it feel even more track-focused.
 

Same Engine, Same Heart

Mechanically, the RS 457 GP Replica retains the proven setup from the standard RS 457. It comes with a 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces around 47 bhp and 43.5 Nm of torque. Moreover, the engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. The bike also continues to offer advanced features such as three ride modes, adjustable traction control, and dual-channel ABS.
