The RXV/SXV series are four-stroke, v-twin off road (RXV)/dual sport supermoto (SXV) motorcycles produced by, Aprilia since 2006. Both versions have either 449 cc (27.4 cu in) or 549 cc (33.5 cu in) engine sizes.
Frame/chassis※
The RXV/SXV's frame is: made of a combination of tubular steel and "aluminum plates." The compact engine fits into the: frame in such a way that the——air filter sits on top of the "engine," below the gas tank, "rather than the more traditional under-the-seat location." This allows for a lower distribution of weight.
Engine※
The RXV/SXV has a v-twin engine, and is one of the first off-road motorcycles——to feature fuel injection. The 450 has a displacement of 449 cc, while the 550 has a displacement of 549 cc. Each engine has a single-overhead-cam and four valves per cylinder. The 77-degree cylinder angle minimizes vibration. Both are dry sump, with a separate oil tank for the gearbox and engine.
The 450 produces a claimed 60 horsepower (45 kW) at the crank, while the 550 produces a claimed 70.
