Aprilia SRV 850 redefines the edge of the limits of the scooter world.
Energy, commissioning, sportsmanship, design, everything about the 850 SRV recalls the technical and aesthetic standards of the Aprilia Superbike.
The style recalls clearly the Aprilia World Superbike. No fan will struggle to recognize the aesthetic of the style rules in the new SRV-850, which along with the performance, contributed to the confirmation of Aprilia motorcycles as the benchmark in the competitive world of motorcycles.
Aprilia 850 SRV originates at the base of the GP 800, the maximum of two cylinders in place by the Piaggio Group in 2007, which was established as the world's most powerful scooter. Aprilia's engineers improved the revolutionary project, transfer to the SRV-850 of the expertise derived from decades of victories at tracks all over the world and always has been transferred to Aprilia most sports bikes like the Aprilia RSV4, the 2010 Superbike World Champion, and the muscular Dorsoduro motard 1200.
It was developed in engine performance, revised weight, driving configuration and aesthetics, SRV, 850 brings the world of scooter performance without compromise philosophy that was written into the DNA of Aprilia.
2012 Aprilia 850 outstanding SRV Model
Not only energy: a single engine
The engine of SRV-850-Aprilia is the first and only two-cylinder 90 ° V motor scooter and makes the Veneto than the fastest, most powerful scooter ever made anywhere in the world.
Water cooled, equipped with electronic fuel injection, the distribution of 4 valves per cylinder, dual ignition, the engine has a displacement of 839.3 cc. A new optimization engine management system, which now reaches a maximum power of 55.9 kW (76.0 hp) at 7,750 rpm and maximum torque of 76.5 Nm (7.8 kgm) at 6,000 rpm, the new specifications SRV 850 places in the top of its category. Two new oxygen sensors (lambda) Allow the engine control unit for the management of fuel-oil mixture to optimize for the two cylinders, especially for the combustion, obtaining a regular operation and idling progressive and an engine torque in the medium speed flexibility which is a reference point for this type of engine architecture.
The new system ensures maximum efficiency in terms of fuel economy and emissions control both with the future (more restrictive) requirements of Euro 4-approval requirements.
But it is not only power, that designers taken into account when this particular engine invented: crankshaft and the transmission group are designed with a rotary motion opposite that of the wheels, to significantly reduce the inertia of rotation and the gyroscopic effect is: to do this by handling the curves and the rapid entry of the Aprilia SRV-850 is increased.
SRV Aprilia 850 engine is mounted in a totally integrated into the frame through an elastic vibration mounting and the last disc is hoped to include a robust but sophisticated, Regina Z-ring chain.
The exhaust gases, completely free of the structure to minimize vibrations is a 2-in-one ending in a aggressive style muffler heat shield.
The styling of the Aprilia MAXI
If eyes are the mirror of the soul, the front of the SRV-850 leaves no doubt about the nature of the first two-cylinder motorcycle Aprilia popular style of doing RSV4, the 2010 SBK World Superbike bicycle, is presented here in its whole. The triple headlights, air intakes dynamics under the lights, the meeting of the racing cockpit designed in the wind tunnel, are all elements that the SRV-850 has in common with the supersport bike on the reverse. The colors of the livery colors reminiscent of the "sister", the RSV4, including the release of two colors Black and Red features factory Superbikes of Veneto, which Max Biaggi rides in Cup racing World.
Even the defense and mirrors, integrated turn home, true to the style of Aprilia Racing, as the design half of the wheel, the two arms are aluminum and the new handles emphasize its sporty character. The new instrument panel, in perfect Aprilia style racing, at the same level as the best supersport bikes. A large central LCD display, combined with large analog instruments (speedometer and tachometer), a real on-board computer with a large number of functions (including dual trip meter, odometer, the service LED, temperature radiator) adjustable with a "fashion" button on the steering wheel.
The big chair, made of high-tech materials, is in keeping with the sporty design, but offers much comfort for the driver and passenger. The sleek and slim rear end SRV-850 with a spectacular meeting of LED lighting technology that the new two-cylinder stock with the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200, another "extreme" bike, flagship of the Aprilia muscled Maxi sports motorcycle: a family of vehicles included in the SRV-850 is a full member of the sport unique features of the scooter world without compromise, even in style.
Frame and chassis
The generous power of the calls of the Aprilia twin-cylinder engine for a very rigid chassis. The double cradle frame Aprilia SRV-850 is made of steel tubes with reinforcement plates trellis and rigidity.
Simulations and road tests have shown that the stability coefficient as a proxy SRV 850 motorcycle (1 rad / sec) and almost twice as high as a conventional scooter. The high degree of stiffness results in an extraordinary sense of ride control, which also deal with the gain of 5 kg of weight in the RSV 850. The new maxi scooter Aprilia sports leans in corners like a sport bike, reaching 45 ° angles, always with a neutral behavior and exceptional handling.
Even department suspension point analysis, it is easy to see how many Aprilia motorcycles know-how was transferred to the new SRV 850. At the rear, a rear fork cast aluminum, and is directly fixed to the side plates of the frame. It is attached by the ties of the suspension are dominated by a horizontal, lateral, absorbing hydraulic monoshock, adjustable in seven different preload settings.
Compared with the GP 800 of the holder is made of aluminum with high struts 41 mm - is a more durable calibration results in a significant improvement in the dynamic control of the vehicle, improving the braking and leaning stability.
The tires on 16 "at the beginning and 15 'in the rear are made of aluminum to minimize unsprung mass guarantee precision driving. Overall performance is also standard radial tire 120/70 front and 160 60 / of the drive wheel.
The brakes on the front Brembo Gold Series utilizes dual-piston floating calipers 300 mm and two semi-floating steel discs.
At the rear of the floating caliper two opposed pistons operates on a steel disc of 280 mm. The tubes covered with wire mesh and levers can be adjusted 4 positions are further evidence attention to the realization of the braking system. The SRV-850 Aprilia is even equipped with a parking brake lever actuated by a suitable on the right side of the leg shield.
