- Gets an “aero flow” theme
- V4 and the 660 range come with new paint options
- Could be launched in NZ soon
Aprilia has unveiled a fresh set of colour updates for four of its performance models for 2026, with the redesign guided by what the brand calls an “aerodynamic flow” theme.
The updates follow a busy EICMA show in Milan, where Aprilia also introduced a MotoGP-inspired replica livery for the RS457, matching the designs already seen on the RS125 and SR GT. That racing look marks 10 years of Aprilia’s RS-GP programme in MotoGP, currently represented in the premier class by Jorge Martín and Marco Bezzecchi.
Building on that momentum, the Noale-based manufacturer has now applied a unified visual language across the RSV4 Factory, RS660 Factory, Tuono V4 Factory and Tuono 660 Factory. According to Aprilia, the revised graphics are designed to highlight the shape and aerodynamics of both its fully faired bikes and their naked Tuono counterparts, reflecting the brand’s long-standing focus on airflow and racing-derived design.
The RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory receive a new purple, white and red colour scheme, a combination that nods to Aprilia’s race bikes from the 1990s. Meanwhile, the RS660 Factory and Tuono 660 Factory are offered in a yellow, white and red livery, with the yellow shade carried over from the original RS660 launch colour.
Beyond the visual refresh, no mechanical or technical changes have been made to any of the four models for 2026, with the update purely focused on styling. We can expect Aprilia to launch the 2026 models in New Zealand sometime in the coming year.
