2011 New Aprilia RX 50 OVERVIEW, The Aprilia RXV and SXV were the first bikes in the world to break a taboo of the "one cylinder and install a dual high-performance motorcycles enduro and supermoto. At the time he was seen as a challenge almost impossible to develop a twin off-road, which would still be accessible to the public constituency. Aprilia R & D but had the conviction, determination and experience for the job, and victories in top level competitions soon floods, followed by the title of world champion supermoto. But at Aprilia, we were never satisfied to rest on our laurels. We see racing as the most effective method to test new ideas and solutions we can then present the whole range, from our flagship model to our 50 cc machines. Newborns in the range Aprilia RX and SX are inspired by Aprilia in the world against the Twins off-road. The RX 50 and SX 50 are clearly dedicated to young riders seeking the best technology in over his head turning looks good. The RX 50 enduro and SX 50 supermotard are high performance 50 cc machines. Both are powered by a new generation and the type of frame that many adults can only envy. Do not be fooled by the size of 50 cc engine. The RX and SX are real motorcycles, and just at home on racetracks because they are hard on the daily commute from home to school or college. Their design speaks for itself. Their clean lines and clear icons direct result RXV SXV / style off-road. Like their sisters before them, the RX and SX are on their way to create a new fashion style 50 cc. Under the new perimeter forms a direct link between the steering head and swingarm pivot, in line with the latest developments in off-road. The frame is high strength steel to absorb all the stress that can drive off-road forward. This synthesis of strength and lightness is the perfect match for the characteristics of the RX / SX 50. The suspensions are another highlight of this exceptional motorcycle. At the front there is a fork of 40 mm stanchions giving a powerful wheel travel of 195 mm, more than enough to absorb the toughest shocks. The rear swingarm high strength steel is damped by a hydraulic damper peak giving a generous 180 mm of rear wheel travel to ensure that the RX / SX 50 can address the higher terrain. The imposing front brake is abundantly over-sized to ensure the safety standard of competition, braking and stopping. The ventilated steel disc is 260 mm in diameter on the RX enduro and an amazing 300 mm in diameter on the SX motard, more than any other bike 50 cc. The front caliper is a floating dual piston. The rear brakes are up too, with a disk of 180 mm stainless steel and a powerful caliper with two opposed pistons. The wheels are another essential element of any competition machine, and one of the most distinctive of these small Aprilia Off-Road. Aluminium has been adopted for its light weight and exceptional stress resistance. The RX is equipped with a 21 "front wheel and 18" rear wheel, like on a real motorcycle enduro competition. The SX is equipped with two 17-inch wheels with wider profile tires for maneuverability in the city or on a cart track twist. Such an amazing chassis obviously demands a match engine. That is why the RX and SX are powered by a liquid cooled Aprilia advanced, single cylinder two stroke engine induction valve. The use of advanced technology ensures that this new engine offers exceptional performance from a surprisingly low weight (only 15 kg). Lubrication is provided by a separate mixing system, with a variable displacement volumetric pump. A boost was preferred to save weight. A gearbox six-speed makes the best use of the power delivered by this impressive engine. In addition to all this the RX and SX also benefit from this kind of prestige components normally found on bikes that much greater. Instruments ultra-compact digital with an innovative design and conduct a series of functions to keep all parameters under constant control. Two headlights add another touch of personality and guarantee superior night visibility. The long seat extends over the compact fuel tank to provide enough space for movement in sports riding conditions. The tank capacity is 7 liters. Given the extremely limited fuel consumption of 50 cc engine, the Aprilia RX 50 and SX 50 therefore have a greater autonomy for all types of use. Like all Aprilia motorcycles, the RX and SX also respect nature: the exhaust is fitted with a catalytic converter, and the euro as regards emissions of 2 standards without penalizing the performance of advanced Aprilia 50 cc engine.
